Dear Postmaster General,

Since November 2002, we who live in Norway are charged 186 Norwegian kroner or approximately 26 US dollars handling fee for every package sent via USPS from the US by Nordisk Express, the company you have chosen to process the packages and to provide documentation to the Norwegian Customs Service. This 186 kroner (or 26 US dollar) handling fee is arbitrary and illegitimate.

We deem it totally unreasonable and unethical that we must pay an illegitimate fee of 26 US dollars handling fee to get our gifts and our packages.

As we see it, the sender has paid the USPS for the postage that covers all the costs incurred until delivery. Consequently, charging a 186 kroner or 26 US dollars handling fee to the recipient is totally unacceptable, especially when the package contains a gift of no commercial value without the need for customs processing.

As far as we have been able to gather, the USPS is one of the very few foreign postal services that does not deal directly with the Norwegian postal service, and thus creates such irritation and financial loss among package recipients in Norway.

We write this complaint to make you aware of the unreasonable and unethical practice imposed on us by Nordisk Express, the USPS package handling partner in Norway.

We kindly ask you to take the necessary steps to stop this arbitrary 186 kroner (or 26 dollar) charge immediately or choose a different partner that can deliver our packages without imposing an illegitimate handling fee and/or other hidden fees in case Nordisk Express fails to stop its unethical practice.

Thank you for your kind attention to this petition.

Kjжre Postmaster General,

Siden november 2002 mе vi som bor i Norge og som mottar pakker fra USA betale 186 kroner eller 26 dollar i behandlingsgebyr til Nordisk Express for hver pakke sendt fra USA med USPS. Nordisk Express er det firmaet som dere bruker til е behandle pakkene og legge fram tolldeklarasjon for de norske tollmyndighetene. Dette gebyret pе 186 kroner (eller 26 dollar) er vilkеrlig og illegitimt.

Vi mener at det er fullstendig urimelig og uetisk at vi mе betale et illegitimt gebyr pе 26 dollar for е motta gavene og pakkene vеre.

Slik vi ser det, sе har avsender betalt porto til USPS, og dette burde dekke alle kostnader frem til levering. Derfor er det helt uakseptabelt at mottaker skal belastes et behandlingsgebyr pе 26 dollar, sжrlig nеr pakken ikke inneholder gjenstander med kommersiell verdi, og derfor ikke behшver е tollbehandles.

Sе langt vi har klart е bringe pе det rene, sе er USPS en av de ytterst fе utenlandske posttjenester som ikke benytter seg av det norske postverket, og dermed skaper enorm misnшye og шkonomiske tap blant pakkemottakere i Norge.

Vi skriver dette brevet for е gjшre dem oppmerksom den urimelige og uetiske fremgangsmеten til Nordisk Express, deres partner hva pakker sendt med USPS angеr.

Vi ber dem om е ta de nшdvendige skritt for stanse dette vilkеrlige gebyret pе 186 kroner (eller 26 dollar), eller velge en annen pakkeforsendelsespartner som kan levere pakkene vеre uten е kreve inn dette urimelige gebyret og/eller andre skjulte gebyrer i tilfelle Nordisk Express ikke slutter med sin uetiske praksis.

Tusen takk for de leser denne oppfordringen.
