How has shipping to Norway been?

Any information you have, personal experiences or stories about shipping Nootropics into Norway would be appreciated.
I’m wanting to know what to expect as a regular purchaser of nootropics in Norway. Are there trouble compounds to just forget about ordering like the Racetams for example, are there certain order sizes or shipping carriers that make things go smoother, does Norway destroy packages or send them back, etc.
Thanks for your time!

Well that’s a massive relief! Just to give you an update, they had shuffled me off to a medical authority for an appeal to get an exemption (probably just to get rid of me). But basically you have to document that you need the supplements for some medical reason to get an exemption (which is essentially like them reasserting that you need a prescription, but whatever).
I just sent an email recently asking for the status of my appeal anyway though and they just told me it’ll take months for them to process it... so I think it’s basically hopeless. When the law makers are breaking the law I don’t know what can be done about that. I’d love to take them to court but even if I had the money/time I’m pretty sure I know how that’d turn out...
I sent an email a few minutes ago to Posten telling them to update the tracking or send me documentation so that you guys can see from your end what’s going on as well.

Jesus... Sorry about that! We are having similar issues with raw material shipments in to us. They have been holding thousands of kilos of stuff for us for months. US Customs is saying they are not allowing it because "it doesn't meet FDA guidelines." However, they don't cite any actual rules, guidelines, or laws. So when we pressed them on it, they gave us the run around. We sent in appeals, and said that they need to cite specific regulations that we are violating, and the statutory citations for their legal authority to prevent the shipments. They have ignored us ever since. They don't answer our calls. They don't answer our emails. They just ghost us. It's ridiculous.
So they are saying that they want to destroy the entire shipment of 14 items because they don't like 3 of them, and they sent a list to you of banned things as justification, but none of those 3 things are on the list? It's bullshit that they are picking out 3 items that are not even banned, but can they just take those and give you the rest?
