Just a moment, securing your connection...

Many athletes in the Netherlands prefer the US launch because it offers a full range of width options, including D, 2E, and 4E, which are often restricted in the European market. By looking at us trends, it is clear that early adopters are willing to import to secure the newest performance tech 3 to 6 months ahead of the local schedule.

Step-by-step plan to buy from US stores

To secure these shoes, you need a logical plan. Most US retailers do not offer direct shipping to the Netherlands, or if they do, the costs are prohibitive. The most efficient method is to shop us store sites directly and use a domestic delivery address.

First, you need to sign up for a freight forwarder that provides a tax-free us address. This allows you to avoid US sales tax at the point of purchase, saving you approximately 7-10% immediately. Once you have your address, you can follow this how it works guide to manage your package from the warehouse to your doorstep in the Netherlands.

Solving payment blocks with BuyForMe

Does your Dutch credit card keep getting declined at US checkout pages? This is a common hurdle when shopping at major retailers like Brooks, Nike, or Apple. These stores often block international credit cards or flag orders sent to a package forwarding facility to prevent fraud or enforce regional distribution agreements.

The solution is the comGateway "BuyForMe" service. This assisted purchase program handles the transaction on your behalf. You simply tell us what you want to buy, and we use a US-based domestic card to complete the purchase. This is the safest way to guarantee your Brooks Ghost 17 order doesn't get cancelled by the retailer. Using this proxy shopping method ensures you bypass regional payment restrictions entirely.

International shipping to the Netherlands

Once your shoes arrive at your US address, you must choose an international shipping method. Whether you prefer DHL international shipping for speed or FedEx international shipping for reliability, you can manage the entire process through your account dashboard.

Before you commit, it is a good idea to use the shipping calculator to estimate the total cost based on the weight of the shoe box. If you are buying multiple pairs or additional gear, you can save money by using a parcel forwarding service that offers consolidation, which combines multiple packages into one box to reduce the volumetric weight charges.

Understanding import tax and VAT

Will you have to pay extra when the shoes arrive in the Netherlands? Yes, all items imported from outside the EU are subject to Dutch customs regulations. This typically includes VAT (BTW) and potentially import tax if the value exceeds certain thresholds.

You should consult our guide on import duties to understand how the Dutch Customs (Belastingdienst) calculates these fees. Typically, the carrier will contact you to pay these charges before the final delivery is made to your home. Using a professional international shipping service ensures that all documentation is handled correctly, preventing your new Brooks Ghost 17 from getting stuck in customs.
