I have a bunch of electronic devices that have 12V DC 500ma power adapters that work at 110V (eg. wireless router). I need to purchase 12V DC 500ma power adapters that work at 220V for Norway. I don't want to plug these devices into voltage converters as I already have too many around the house.

Does anyone have suggestions for a place online or in store (Oslo) that I can buy something like this?

In general, what is the best place to shop for electronics online? So far, I have bought stuff off of Ebay in the UK and had it shipped. Expert is not so great and quite expensive.

So far, the thing I miss most from the US is Amazon.com.

Thanks!

Hi!

Amazon does actually have an UK affiliate.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/
I have ordered from them many times. You do have to pay shipping, but it isn´t near as expensive as shipping from the states!
Good luck!

Thanks Kimberly for the tip!

I have tried to order several items from Amazon.co.uk but it seems very picky about stuff it is willing to ship to Norway.

I also found Elkjøp at Ulleval. They have a good selection of stuff online. The prices are about 2x US, which I guess is typical.

Take care.
