Used 3 wickets based in Germany last night for some smaller things. So far seems good though will have to wait to see what the balls are like..
I got a response. They said that the only cricket shop in Norway is in Oslo run by a coach that runs the national academy, but he has stopped selling smaller items due to the fact English suppliers wont ship lower-value items to them on the basis its not worth the red tape. So the Cricket Board took bulk orders at the start of the year and sourced it for them, with the added advantage that the customs network then recognized the Board's purchase as charity/sporting items that were not subjected to VAT, lower duties or the carrier fees that usually double the price.
They said that before they managed to get everyone to pool together, they had been ordering from normal websites in the UK (like SportsDirect, ugh) or Amazon.de apparently sells them, but Id rather not play cricket than give Ashley and Bezos my money. He said an order of 100 pounds would end up being closer to 200 once it arrived with fees, duties, etc. Obviously Amazon.de wouldnt charge that, but I have no idea if they send to Sweden and at what cost.
