grocery shopping from across the ocean

February 23, 2013 9:56 AM

Are there any online retailers of snack foods (cookies, candy, pretzels) that will deliver to Norway? I don't understand customs regulations very well, but I think these may have to be stores actually in Norway. I would be paying with a US credit card and am willing to muddle about the site with Google translate and squinting at the pictures.

Did you check ebay & amazon? You'll probably be able to get some US stuff via a UK store that sells on those sites.

RettHjem delivers groceries etc (mainly in the Oslo area). Euroflorist offers chocolate as an extra option to be delivered with flowers. GoodCandy has a large selection of candy and snacks, delivered by mail.

If you use Amazon or other retailers outside Norway, please note that if the value is less than NOK 200,-, freight not included, it's tax free and free from customs duty.

Perfect, GoodCandy looks like exactly what I'm looking for. I'm even willing to dig out my old PayPal account for it :)

I did already check Amazon.co.uk, but when I go to check out their grocery items, I'm told that they're not available for delivery to the address I entered.

Thanks so much!
