Hello,

I'm trying to get my hands on Italian, Spanish, and French rations.

I currently have regular US MRE's and US LRP rations that I can trade (if there's any interest). All are 2012 or better.

Thanks!

Where's your location?

Located just outside of DC, Fairfax VA to be exact

Spanish and french have been popping up on Ebay a lot lately. just do a search for Ration, and you should see a good amount.

Italian is going to be very difficult to find, all I can say on them is good luck.

...and lot´s of $$ for postage from over here.

Like the others have said, Italian ones are very difficult to find. I have a sister stationed in Italy in the navy and she hasn't even been able to get one yet. There's a surplus store in the UK that has French, British, Dutch, and Polish rations, and they will ship to the US. Be prepared to pay a lot for shipping though. There are usually some French ones on eBay, and for about the same price as you would pay from this surplus store with shipping. Last order I placed was for a couple French rations and Dutch ration, and shipping was just over $100.

Good luck!

Hey All,

Thanks for the wonderful input!

I actually did snag a set of Spanish rations about 3 weeks ago off of Ebay that finally got here yesterday! They weren't cheap, however, so I figured it wouldn't hurt to try and find some sort of alternative. Also managed to set up a swap with a member here for an RCIR, so I'm doing pretty good so far!

I'm still very interested in the Italian rations, sad to hear they're so hard to get hands on. Hopefully some will surface in the near future.

Thanks again!

I keep forgetting to post that I'm also interested in German rations. Basically all international rations, haha

I took a look at the site, great recommendation. Thanks! What's the best way to get a shipping quote, shoot them an email? I didn't see any international shipping options.

What you do is to go ahead and just use the standard shipping that is there and check out / pay, then they will contact you shortly after after they figure what the international shipping will be. They do it this way since the weight can vary so much from order-to-order. I paid via PayPal, and they just sent me an invoice for the difference once they figured out the shipping, and it was shipped that same day. I was amazed, it was on my door from the UK to Montana in just over a week.

Hope this helps, happy hunting (or shopping)!
