Apparently the US-based company (International Media Service out of Virginia Beach, VA) that handles subscriptions here no longer has Rouleur available in their portfolio of magazines. When I called them to inquire, they were cryptic about what happened.
If you go to the Rouleur website and try to re-up directly, they don't list a USA delivery option :-(
Anyone find a way to re-up their subscription for delivery here in the US?

Not an answer if you want a paper subscription, but I read Rouleur on my iPad.

My understanding was Rouleur was taking distro in house.

I've been buying them individually at Amazon. With shipping, they work out to $20 an issue which is about the same as a US subscription (I believe). Looks like the current issue is on there now.

You're actually buying it from another business that uses the Amazon marketplace. Yet another way Amazon is trying to squeeze out businesses from direct interaction with customers.

But please feel free to keep defending two of the largest retail chains on the planet. They sure need it.

Whatever sir..If you have a way for me to purchase Rouleur and NOT use WM or Amazon, I'm all ears. Perhaps you can create a US based distribution company(?)

BTW-I'm not really 'defending' anybody but being realistic about the retail environment in this internet heavy age. If you choose to either buy local or go without because of this, 10-4. Pretty sure WM and Amazon will survive.

You can through Rouleur. It's right there on their site under the Rest of World category.

As I said earlier, they were taking distro in the US in house according to the note I got from IMS earlier this year.

No need to create anything or go to Amazon.

When I was in Toronto this summer, the owner of La Bicicletta said that if I ordered copies off of his website he could ship copies to addresses in the states. I haven't tried yet, but he was pretty convincing (and actually a really nice guy).
