AND THEIR GONE TO A LOCAL. Thanks all!
I am cleaning out some of my supplies and I have 4 opened cases of 2007 MREs to give away for FREE. Some have had the packs opened and broken down but most are still in their sealed bags.
I am in NJ but I could ship them if you are willing to pay the shipping cost.

Hi Norge, According to FedEx and UPS it is restricted to ship non perishable foods to Norway. I looked at the costs to ship the 80lbs or so and both are over $700.00 US or nearly 4400 NOK. USPS would be about $250 fro 4 flat rate boxes but I would have to break down all the packages to make it fit in there boxes.
I really don't want to do too much leg work here for something I am just trying to give away, I'm sure you understand.

Yes, I agree USPS has raised its prices effective earlier this year. It seems like once you get over a certain weight the price increases way more than it used to!

It's happened gradually over the past couple of years, but 2014 definitely took a big hit with restructuring their services. I used to do a fair amount of trading in electronic parts, and a good 60% of my business was international (mostly to Europe and Asia) but I don't think I have had a single International order in the past year. I used to send heavy boxes (20-30 lbs) to Japan for maybe $50 each.
