So for some reason i have become approximately obsessed on getting some mres, you know, just in case :)

So if i'd live in US i'd have em already sure, BUT, heres the biggest but, i live in finland.
After well, literally many hours of googling i've found that none of the shop that sell sopakco MRES (the best stuff as far as i know) only
ship to US.

Well anyway, i thought you guys might be able to help out? :o

anyway, initially interest is in a quite popular 12 pack

Welcome to the forums, pikkuhukka!

It might be possible to find someone here in the forums in the US who'd be willing to help ship you some Sure-Pak 12 civilian MREs (that's the kind you're asking about, right?). I just checked pricing and it looks like the MREs themselves would cost $78 with free shipping (to your US contact). Then for me at least, it would cost another $88 to send the MREs from here to Finland...and all that might be for nothing if your Customs doesn't allow them in.

So if you're willing to take a $166 risk, we could probably find someone to help you.

Another alternative might be to find some real US military MREs on ebay.co.uk or ebay.de. or ebay.fr and try to find a seller who'd be willing to ship to Finland - shipping might be cheaper to Finland from Europe than from the US.

Try Jubifahrer, he sells cases within the EU.
The mail within the EU is not checked on contence, so it should arrive without problems.
He lives in Germany, so the shipping won't be to extrem either.

It probably won't.. shipping to scandinavia goes with the train to Kiel or somewhere Denmark, and then goes to Sweden most of the time (ferry boat), and is distributed to other parts of scandinavia from there off.. because air mail would cost much more and doesn't help that much in the shipping time in this case.
