More about shipping to Belgium

I tried finding my size here in Belgium, but the options were pretty slim. Most local shops only carry a couple of basic washes, and they sell out the second they hit the floor. I wanted the more unique distressed finishes that I saw on the US site, which led me to look for a way to shop directly from the source.

Why I buy from US stores instead of local boutiques

In my experience, US retailers simply have a much wider range of sizes and colors for this specific barrel jean. While our shops in Antwerp or Brussels might have two or three options, the US storefronts often have ten or more. Plus, even with shipping, I sometimes find that the price works out better when there’s a US-specific sale going on.

To make this happen, I use comGateway. They provide me with a tax-free US address, which acts as a middle point. I buy the jeans in the US, send them to that address, and then they ship them over to me here in Belgium. It’s the most efficient way I’ve found to get exactly what I want without waiting months for local restocks.

My speed run strategy for shipping to Belgium

When I want my fashion fix fast, I follow a specific routine. First, I check how it works on the comGateway site to make sure I’m following the right steps for 2026. Once I have my suite number, I place my order at the US store.

As soon as the package reaches the warehouse, I look at the international shipping rates to choose the fastest courier. Since I'm usually impatient, I opt for express shipping. I also make sure to use the shipping calculator before I even buy the jeans so I can estimate shipping cost ahead of time. This helps me avoid any surprises when the bill comes.

Beating the payment block with BuyForMe

I ran into a frustrating problem recently where a US store declined my Belgian credit card. It’s a common issue—some big brands like Nike, Sephora, or Apple often block international cards or refuse to ship to known freight forwarder addresses if they detect an international payment method.

When this happens, I don't give up. I use the BuyForMe service. Essentially, I tell comGateway what I want, and they buy the item on my behalf using a US domestic credit card. This is the safest way to guarantee my order doesn't get cancelled by the store’s security filters. If you’ve ever had that annoying "Order Cancelled" email ten minutes after buying something, you know exactly why this assisted purchase option is a lifesaver.

Managing costs and customs in Belgium

Shipping to Belgium means we have to be smart about import duties. I always make sure to factor in the potential customs tax when I'm calculating my total budget. The Belgian customs office can be strict, so having all my paperwork handled correctly by my forwarder is a huge help.

If you are new to this, I recommend checking out the FAQ or the help center. They have a lot of info on how to handle the declarations. You might also like to check our guide on GST/VAT for EU shipments to see how the 2026 regulations might affect your specific package. By being prepared, I’ve managed to get my Free People barrel jeans delivered to my doorstep in record time without any major headaches.
