Challenges? Cross border shipping within the EU/EC shouldn’t produce problems. Convincing your receiving address that they want to get involved might.Hello - I'm curious to know if anyone has had challenges shipping from Amazon to their arrival accommodation? I'm interested in shipping from Amazon.de (for something I cannot purchase in Canada) to the lodging I have arranged for in Lisbon. Has anyone tried this? I do this frequently when I am travelling to the US, but not this way around.
So, Amazon.de (Germany) to an address in Lisbon, Portugal. Any insights?

There's a German produced product that is supposed to relieve arthritis pain. Shipping to Canada would be a nightmare - it's trying to send a pharmaceutical-like item that isn't on a specified government list. So, why not try when in the EU? Sadly, only sold in Germany.....Challenges? Cross border shipping within the EU/EC shouldn’t produce problems. Convincing your receiving address that they want to get involved might.
My curiosity is sufficiently peaked that I’m wondering what it is that’s available in Germany that isn’t in Ontario- apart from decent lager?
Good suggestion.If you’re sending from Amazon, I wonder if your destination has Amazon locker, that might be better?
Might not be something to carry on an international flight though.There are some really nice legal "pain removers" available in Canada that are not available in Germany, if you get my drift?
Not ready to go that route. They give me a 'hangover.'There are some really nice legal "pain removers" available in Canada that are not available in Germany, if you get my drift?

Well said HenryI can’t help you with your specific question I’m afraid; there’ll be someone along shortly - but there’s no need to cross-post on here.
Some of the regular contributors might appear to the casual observer to be on constant alert and will find a new post in seconds even if you were to write it on paper and hide it under a rock.
If you are also taking modified release paracetamol/acetminophen for your arthritis pain, be aware that it is not marketed in the EU, and you will need to bring your own supply.There's a German produced product that is supposed to relieve arthritis pain.

Her response was why would I do that I don't plan to get lost.

Yes it is. And I sure hope it works!Btw, is this about the Gelencium product? If so, the seller on Amazon.de apparently delivers to Portugal.
Not 'illegal,' just not available. And not planning to bring back to Canada if the results are marginal. Might as well stick with acetaminophen &/or ibuprofen.As an attorney, I pay for my international lie-flat business class seats with money from clients who took legal advice off an internet forum. As previously mentioned, Brittney Griner is sitting in a Moscow jail looking at a ten-year prison sentence because she attempted to bring cannabis into Russia. The fact that she legally purchased the cannabis in the United States is literally irrelevant to lawfully possessing it in Russia.
Generally speaking, I would be very, very careful about purchasing something in one country and shipping it to another--especially if you cannot legally possess it in your country.
When I ended my time as hospitalero, I packed up a bunch of stuff I had accumulated in a box and set off for England. I don't remember why, but on the bottom of the box, I put FROM in big letters and the address of the albergue. In England, I addressed it to my parents in USA and mailed it. Her majesty's post office turned the box upside down and shipped it back to Spain. They rejected my demand for a refund of the mailing cost.Challenges?
