How I got Momentous Collagen Peptides to the Netherlands in record time

Why I started hunting for Momentous Collagen

I’ve been following the Huberman Lab podcast for a while now, and like many of you in the Netherlands, I was curious about the specific supplements Andrew Huberman recommends. One item that kept popping up was Momentous Collagen Peptides. It is one of the few brands that is NSF Certified for Sport, which means it’s third-party tested for purity. In 2026, finding clean, high-quality supplements is more important than ever.

The problem? My local pharmacy in Amsterdam never had it in stock, and European distributors were constantly sold out due to the massive surge in popularity across Germany and the Benelux region. I realized that if I wanted the real deal, I had to look toward the source: US health retailers. I noticed that many us trends in the wellness space take months to reach our local shelves, so I decided to take matters into my own hands.

My secret to buying from US stores when they won't ship here

When I first tried to order directly from the Momentous website, I hit a wall. They didn't offer direct delivery to my address in the Netherlands. That's when I turned to a freight forwarder. By using comGateway, I was able to get a tax-free us address. This allowed me to shop at any US store as if I were living in Oregon.

The process was surprisingly fast. I placed my order, had it sent to my US suite, and then forwarded it home. It’s the most efficient way I've found to bypass those annoying "we do not ship to your country" messages. If you are looking for other popular products that are hard to find in Europe, this method works for almost anything.

Using a proxy shopping service for a hassle-free experience

Sometimes, US retailers don't accept Dutch credit cards. In those cases, I highly recommend using a proxy shopping service. I’ve used the BuyForMe service before when my payment was declined, and they handled the entire purchase for me. It’s a great backup plan to ensure you don't miss out on limited-time deals or high-demand supplements.

Shipping Estimates and Logistics for the Netherlands

Before you hit the buy button, you need to know what you are dealing with in terms of package size. Based on my recent order of a standard tub of Momentous Collagen, here is what I found:

Metric Estimate
Box Weight Approx. 1.5 lbs (0.7 kg) per tub.
Box Dimensions Small (approx. 6" x 6" x 6" or 15cm x 15cm x 15cm).
Volumetric Warning Low. This item is dense, so the actual weight usually determines the cost rather than the size.
Battery Check No lithium batteries. Safe for standard air travel.

I always make sure to check the shipping rules before ordering supplements, as some countries have restrictions on specific ingredients. Fortunately, collagen is generally safe for international shipping into the Netherlands.

Managing international shipping and import tax

The cost of international shipping rates can vary depending on how fast you want the package to arrive. I used a shipping calculator to compare the cost between DHL international shipping and FedEx international shipping. For a single tub, it’s quite affordable, but I found that shipping three tubs at once significantly lowered my cost per item.

Don't forget about the import tax. Since the Netherlands has a standard VAT (BTW) rate, you should expect to pay this upon arrival.

By planning ahead and using a reliable freight forwarder, I was able to get my Momentous Collagen Peptides in under a week, which is much faster than waiting for a local restock that might never happen.
