Due to new import regulations in the US, it is currently not possible to send parcels to the United States.
This is still possible via DHL Express, but the costs are considerably higher (approx. €90 for a small parcel, like a guide book or pilgrim item) and all import duties and taxes are payable by the recipient.
For this reason, sending to the US has been temporarily disabled as a standard shipping option in this webshop.
Would you still like to have an order shipped to the US? Please contact us so that we can discuss the options and costs.
We are fortunately at the end of the pilgrimage season, so it is unlikely that any Americans will need a guide immediately. If you do need one, however, the guides are available for purchase at all pilgrim centres along the Gudbrandsdalsleden and Valldalsleden, and the passports are available along all pilgrim routes, so you can always buy a guide and/or pass in Norway or Sweden itself at the start of your pilgrimage.
We are very sorry for this inconvenience. If you have any questions, please contact the pilgrim centre in Oslo.
