How I saved $42 on the Giant Jellycat Taco by shipping it straight to the Netherlands

Why everyone wants the Giant Taco

If you have been keeping an eye on us trends lately, you know that Jellycat collectors are currently losing their minds over the Giant Amuseable Taco. Released as a US exclusive for the Spring 2026 season, this oversized plush is roughly double the size of the standard taco we usually see in European shops. Because it is not being distributed in Asia or much of Europe, the scarcity has driven prices up on secondary markets like eBay or specialized boutiques.

Just a moment, securing your connection...

Honestly, paying a 200% markup to a local reseller feels like a waste of money when you can just grab it from a US retailer. You can save roughly $42 by skipping those resellers and ordering directly from an American storefront. The only catch is that most of these stores do not offer direct Netherlands delivery, or if they do, the shipping rates are astronomical. That is where a little bit of strategy comes in.

How to buy from the USA

The easiest way to get your hands on US-only releases is to use a forward packages service. By signing up with comGateway, you get a tax-free us address that you can use at checkout. This means you avoid paying US sales tax (which can be up to 10% depending on the state) and instead send your taco to a warehouse in Oregon before it makes its way to you.

Once your Giant Taco arrives at the warehouse, you can use the shipping calculator to see exactly how much it will cost to land on your doorstep in Amsterdam or Rotterdam. It is a much smoother process than trying to find a US-based friend to mail it to you.

The BuyForMe Shortcut

One annoying thing about some US retailers is that they can be really picky about international credit cards. If you have ever tried to buy something from a big US department store only to have your order cancelled 10 minutes later, you know the frustration. Many stores block non-US billing addresses or automatically decline orders sent to a freight forwarder address.

To get around this, you should use the BuyForMe service. Essentially, you tell the experts at comGateway what you want, and they buy it on your behalf using a US-issued payment card. This is the safest way to guarantee your order actually goes through. It saves you the headache of dealing with customer service or wondering why your card was declined for the fifth time. It is the ultimate lazy method for collectors who just want their plush without the drama.

Shipping Estimates to the Netherlands

Before you hit that buy button, it is good to know what you are getting into regarding logistics. The Giant Amuseable Taco is a big boy, so it won't fit in a tiny mailer. Here is a quick breakdown of what to expect for your ship to Netherlands costs:

Understanding Volumetric Weight

Here is a quick heads-up: because the Giant Taco is a plush toy, it is light but takes up a lot of space. International couriers use something called "Volumetric Weight" to calculate costs. This means they charge you based on the size of the box rather than just the actual weight on a scale. To keep your estimate shipping cost accurate, always assume the box will be slightly larger than the toy itself to allow for protective packaging. If you are buying other items, you can use a parcel forwarding service to combine them into one box, which usually helps lower the overall cost per item.

Shipping to the Netherlands in 2026 is pretty fast, usually taking about 5-8 business days once it leaves the US warehouse. Just make sure to keep an eye on your local import VAT rules for packages coming from outside the EU, as those are usually handled during the final delivery phase.
