Buy It For Me

While Framework has expanded its global presence, the US store remains the primary hub for the newest expansion cards and niche keyboard layouts. Keeping up with the latest us trends often means looking toward the North American market where stock levels for the newest modules are far more consistent than local European distributors.

Number Crunching: Save $215 by sourcing from the USA

When you break down the costs, the savings are hard to ignore. In the Netherlands, a fully configured modular laptop with similar specs can often cost significantly more due to regional price adjustments. By purchasing the DIY Edition from a US store for approximately $849 and sourcing your own high-speed RAM and SSD locally or via US deals, you can save roughly $215 compared to buying a pre-built equivalent in the Eurozone. To get a precise idea of the logistics costs, you can use a shipping calculator to see how much you will save on the journey from Oregon to Amsterdam.

The Lazy Way to shop: Using comGateway BuyForMe

We know the feeling: you have your Framework DIY kit in the cart, you're ready to checkout, and then the dreaded "Payment Declined" message appears because the store doesn't accept international credit cards. Many high-end US tech retailers and major brands like Apple or Nike often flag international billing addresses or refuse to ship to a known freight forwarder.

This is where the "BuyForMe" service becomes your best friend. Instead of battling with checkout forms and worrying about order cancellations, you simply tell us what you want. We use our US-based domestic cards to purchase the item on your behalf. This proxy shopping solution ensures your order is processed just like a local US customer's would be. It is the safest, most stress-free way to guarantee your Framework 13 doesn't get stuck in "payment pending" limbo. Let us handle the transaction while you sit back and wait for your tracking number.

Getting your modular machine to the Netherlands

Once your laptop arrives at our warehouse, you need a reliable way to get it across the Atlantic. Using comGateway provides you with a tax-free us address in Oregon, which means you save on US sales tax immediately—an automatic saving of about 7-10% depending on which state you would have otherwise shipped to.

Our international shipping options allow you to choose between speed and economy. Whether you prefer FedEx international shipping for its rapid transit or DHL international shipping for its excellent European network, your package is in good hands. If you are new to this, our how it works page provides a step-by-step guide to moving your gear from the US to your doorstep in the Netherlands.

Managing import tax and customs effortlessly

When your Framework Laptop 13 enters the Netherlands, it will be subject to local regulations. Generally, you should expect to pay the Dutch BTW (VAT) of 21% on the value of the goods. While import tax is a reality of international shipping service, the total cost—including shipping and duties—often still sits below the retail price of specialized modular laptops found in local Dutch shops. By using a professional parcel forwarding service, you ensure that all documentation is filled out correctly, reducing the risk of your package being held up at customs in Schiphol. You can forward packages with confidence, knowing that we specialize in helping tech enthusiasts shop us ship international with minimal paperwork on their end.
