More about shipping to Belgium

For shoppers in Belgium, however, buying it locally or from EU-based retailers often means paying a significant premium. The Trunk 8.0 is designed to be a complete skincare overhaul, and because it includes so many high-end formulations, it sells out quickly once the holiday season approach starts to peak.

Comparing the price in Belgium versus the USA

The math behind this purchase is the main reason why people are looking across the Atlantic. In the US, the Trunk 8.0 is priced significantly lower than the converted retail price in the UK or mainland Europe. Even after accounting for shipping, Belgian shoppers often find themselves saving over €100 by sourcing the set from a US retailer like Sephora or the official Drunk Elephant site.

When you shop us store options, you also get access to stock that might be sold out in European boutiques. Using a tax-free us address provided by a freight forwarder allows you to avoid US sales tax at checkout, which adds even more to your total savings.

Shipping Estimates for the Trunk 8.0

Before you hit the buy button, you need to know what you are looking at in terms of logistics. The Trunk 8.0 is not a small item, and the shipping costs will reflect its size and weight. You can use a shipping calculator to get a more precise figure based on your specific city in Belgium.

Box Weight and Dimensions

Based on previous iterations and the 2026 product list, here are the estimates for your shipping planning:

• Estimated Box Weight: Approx. 9 lbs to 11 lbs (4.1 kg to 5.0 kg). This includes the weight of the skincare products and the physical trunk/luggage case.
• Estimated Box Dimensions: This is a bulky item, typically measuring around 15 x 12 x 10 inches (38 x 30 x 25 cm).

Volumetric Weight Warning

The Drunk Elephant Trunk 8.0 is a prime example of an item where volumetric weight might apply. Even though it isn't "heavy" like a piece of lead, it takes up a fair amount of space in a shipping container. International carriers calculate costs based on whichever is greater: the actual weight or the volumetric weight. Because the trunk is a hard-shell case that cannot be compressed, expect the shipping price to be influenced by its dimensions. You can check the current international shipping rates to see how weight brackets affect the final price to Belgium.

Battery and Safety Check

Good news for your shipping plans: the Drunk Elephant Trunk 8.0 contains skincare creams, serums, and cleansers. It does not contain lithium batteries or electronic components. This means you do not have to worry about the specific restricted handling fees associated with batteries. However, it is always a good idea to review the prohibited items list to ensure no specific liquid volume restrictions have changed for 2026.

Using BuyForMe for difficult US stores

One of the biggest hurdles Belgian shoppers face is that major US retailers like Sephora or the official Drunk Elephant US site often block international credit cards. Even if you have a US shipping address, these stores might decline your order if the billing address is in Belgium or if they detect a known freight forwarding address.

This is where the "BuyForMe" service becomes essential. Instead of risking a cancelled order and a temporary hold on your funds, comGateway can purchase the Trunk 8.0 on your behalf. We use a US domestic credit card and a residential-style purchasing profile to ensure the order is accepted. This is the most reliable way to secure high-demand items from stores that have strict regional sales policies.

The benefit of this service is peace of mind. You simply tell us what you want, and we handle the transaction, ensuring that your Trunk 8.0 actually makes it to the warehouse instead of getting stuck in a "payment declined" loop.

How to get your package to Belgium

Once your Trunk 8.0 arrives at your US address, the process of getting it to Belgium is straightforward. You will receive a notification, and you can then choose your preferred shipping speed. Since you are likely saving a large amount on the retail price, opting for a premium international shipping service is often still cheaper than buying the set in Brussels or Antwerp.

When the package enters Belgium, remember that you will be responsible for local VAT and potential import duties. Even with these costs, the US-to-Belgium route remains the most cost-effective method for the 2026 holiday season. By using a combination of a tax-free US address and the BuyForMe service, you can bypass the regional price hikes and get the full Drunk Elephant experience delivered right to your door.
