Shop from USA to Norway: A Practical Amaboxly Guide

You can shop from USA to Norway with Amaboxly in three ways: order an item listed in our shop, ask us to buy from a US store for you, or buy it yourself and forward the parcel. Each route has its own cost pieces, and Norwegian import charges are separate from all of them.

What a delivered price to Norway includes

The US store price is only one part of what you pay. The pieces differ by route.

Prices on amaboxly.com can be shown in NOK as an estimate. We charge in ringgit at checkout and your bank converts, so the final amount can differ slightly. Card payments work from anywhere we deliver, Norway included.

Forwarding freight is billed on the higher of actual weight and dimensional weight, with a minimum of 1 kg per box. Dimensional weight is length x width x height in inches, divided by 166 for pounds, then multiplied by 0.4536 for kilograms. A boxed pair of ski boots measuring 20 x 16 x 12 inches gives 3,840 / 166 = 23.13 lb, and 23.13 x 0.4536 = 10.49 kg. If the boots weigh 6 kg on the scale, the 10.49 kg figure is the one used.

Norway is one of seventeen destinations on a benchmark-based forwarding rate (a published competitor benchmark minus US$0.10 per billable kg), so the per kg figure comes in your quote. The calculator on our shipping fees page estimates Malaysia forwarding, and its rates and timing should not be assumed for Norway.

Three ways to shop from the USA to Norway

An item listed in our shop

If the item is in the Amaboxly shop, use its product page and the shop checkout. The page shows whether it is Pre-Order, Ready Stock USA or Ready Stock Malaysia. Delivery to Norway is by FedEx, with a live shipping quote per item shown at checkout before you pay.

Buy for me

For a US product we do not list, send the exact link through your Forwarding account (My Account, Forwarding, "Buy for me"). Add the product name, size, colour, quantity, store price and a cart or product-page screenshot. We review availability and eligibility, send a payment request, then place and pay for the retailer order once you have paid.

Stock and retailer acceptance are never guaranteed. A small assisted-purchase fee per checkout applies, shown on the Buy for me page and in your payment request.

I bought something

If your card works at the US store, buy the item yourself and pay no Amaboxly purchase fee. Choose "I bought something" in your Forwarding account and get the complete receiving address and suite before checkout. Keep the receipt and retailer tracking number, then declare the parcel with accurate contents and paid value.

You review the quote before authorizing shipment. Our worldwide parcel forwarding page explains the service.

Checks to make before you buy

Ask for a Norway quote before buying or shipping anything for forwarding. A listed country does not mean every item, carrier route or postcode is accepted, and prohibited items can be held and disposed of.

Some goods need extra review first: batteries (installed or spare), power banks, liquids, aerosols, cosmetics, magnets, items with radio functions, fragile glass or ceramics, and bulky household items. We do not sell freight insurance and forwarding terms give no loss or damage cover, so arrange cover elsewhere if you need it.

Our US base is New Hampshire, which has no general state sales tax. That can benefit eligible purchases delivered to the confirmed receiving address. It does not remove Norwegian import duties, taxes or clearance charges.

Deposit and balance for Norway orders

A 50% deposit is offered on Pre-Order items only. On the product page, choose the colour, choose "Pay 50% deposit" and add to bag. Cart and checkout show what you pay today and the balance due later.

European orders ship straight from our New Hampshire hub, so Norway buyers pay the balance before the item ships from the USA. The payment link arrives by email and WhatsApp, and the item ships once the balance is paid.

If the US store sells out before we secure your item, we refund everything paid for that item, deposit included, the way you paid.

Timing: about 30 days for shop orders

Pre-Order and Ready Stock USA items have an estimated delivery of about 30 days from the order date. Peak seasons, US store delays and customs inspections can add a few days, so treat the checkout date as an estimate. Pre-orders are usually bought within 1 to 3 business days.

Each item moves through Bought, In transit, Arrived and Delivered, with a WhatsApp message at each stage. Forwarding timing to Norway is confirmed with your quote, so ask about departure, arrival and local delivery before you authorize a shipment.

Norwegian Customs basics

Import duties and taxes are set by Norway and are the buyer’s responsibility. They are not included in our shop prices or delivery fees, and we declare the accurate item value on customs forms.

For forwarded parcels, give an accurate description, the paid value and the receipt. Any import or clearance charges are confirmed separately in your quote. Rules change, so check the current guidance from Norwegian Customs for your item before you order.

Returns and cancellations

Shop orders can be returned within 30 days of delivery, including change of mind. Change-of-mind returns must be in new condition, carry a 10% restocking fee of the total paid for the order, and the cost of shipping it back to the seller is deducted from your refund. Contact us with your order number before sending anything back. Our refund and returns policy has the details.

A Pre-Order or Ready Stock USA item can be cancelled any time before delivery. A 10% processing fee is deducted and payment gateway fees are not refunded.

A Buy for me request is free to cancel while it is Submitted or Information needed. Once the item has been bought, the charge is USD 35 per checkout. Returning a forwarded parcel to the US seller costs a per-package handling fee plus the return label, which you supply as a PDF or JPG.
