Noway folks - help with #mail needed: Any experience with sending a forgotten mobile phone out of #Norway ? Post Norge turns out to be a scam (returning it after 30 days without comment, but blackmail for double the fee). DHL perhaps? Alternatives? #livinginnorwayissues

@kst

Norway mail is a scam, but it does get the job done if you send as registered mail/package with tracking. Costs wayyyy too much, but it works.

Noen andre forslag, dere i #NorskTut?

@MaryPot

Thanks, but this exactly what we tried.
Then the tracking was in limbo between Norway and Germany (Norwegian said it's in Germany, Germany said it never arrived) for 3 weeks. No it suddenly came back with "retur av postsending grunnet forbudt innhold" with a list of reasons where posten should cross which apply - nothing was checked. Of course nobody at the "postoffice" can tell us anything. And we checked before sending that it was ok sending a mobile phone...

And the scam: we had to pay double the price, although it never was in Germany....

@kst @MaryPot did you send it as registered mail, or as a package?

Maybe the problem was that registered mail is for documents, not things, and that is why it was returned? No clue, just a thought

I have previously sent returns to Germany: https://www.posten.no/sende/sende-utland/sende-pakke-utland

You would think the employee at the post office could tell if it was paper or a phone in the envelope, but what can you expect, when they spend half their time stocking groceries in the store? 🤨

@MaryPot @hobbykonsulenten

Thanks .

We made it clear at the post office that it was a mobile phone, not worth much since used, and it was sent as a pakke . But who knows
