The VAT office at the Oslo airport was not open when I left Oslo. How do I get my VAT refund?

I bought a macbook and ipad in a store in Stavanger, asked for a form in the store and when at the airport my purchases were checked and the form was signed. I was advised to send a copy by email to the store, because due to the amount of the refund, it was not through global blue, the refund would be direct with the store. I made several contacts with the store, sent some emails, and they didn’t answer me. On the store’s instagram, I replied, but when I spoke about taxfree and the emails I sent, they stopped responding. What can I do in this case? I had bought this electronic equipment only because I would be entitled to taxfree, without this return to the purchase it would be worth it.

Hi!
Live in Norway since juni. Have a D number. Applied for the P number but have to wait 6 more weeks.
Go for a trip to germany saturday. Thinking about to buy a new mobile phone with tax free option.
Is it possible for me?
I have the tysk passport and no Norwegian adress is in it.
What do you think?

We were told to get the VAT refund when we leave Norway. Our last stop in Norway is Tromso. From Tromso, we fly to St. Petersburg.
Today, we were told we could not get our refund in Tromso airport. So where do we get our VAT refund?

In reply to Nenad. The best thing to do is ask for the form at the retail store when you make the purchase. Bear in mind if you buy a laptop in Norway it's highly likely going to come with a Norwegian keyboard layout, which you may or may not want :-)
