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

@kst @hobbykonsulenten

Still amazing that they A) lost it, but found it - B) then said it was illegal to send, even though it was okay when sent and - C) did not give any reason for why it was returned - by them - from somewhere it was that they found ot!

The whole thing stinks and you should have all your money back!

Feel free to quote me on your complain form! 🙂

@MaryPot @hobbykonsulenten

Doing that now, let's see how this goes. Also checking DHL possibilities now.

One of the main problems is that there are no more offices to actually talk with them
