How I used a freight forwarder to snag the Giant 2026 Jellycat Sun from the US for much less

The 2026 Hype for the Giant Amuseable Sun

I have been obsessed with the Jellycat Amuseable series for years, but the 2026 Edition of the Giant Sun is something else. It has become a massive interior design trend here in Europe, often seen in high-end nursery reveals and minimalist living rooms. However, finding one in stock in Brussels or Antwerp is nearly impossible. Most local shops are sold out until next year, and the few that have it are charging a premium that I just cannot justify.

Just a moment, securing your connection...

Recently, I noticed that several major US toy boutiques received a fresh restock. The price difference between the US retail price and what we see in European boutique shops is staggering. That is when I decided to take matters into my own hands and look into international shipping options to bring one home directly from a tax-free US address.

Why I am buying from the USA instead of Belgium

When I compared the costs, the US MSRP is significantly lower than the prices listed in Euro. Even when you factor in the cost to forward packages, the total often comes out cheaper than buying from local resellers who have marked up the price due to the 'Giant' size rarity. Plus, the US stores often have the 2026 variants months before they hit our shelves in Belgium.

Shipping Estimates and Volumetric Realities

Before you hit the buy button, I want to share what I learned about the logistics of shipping a plush this size. Since it is the "Giant" edition, you cannot treat it like a standard small parcel. Here is my estimate for your international shipping calculations:

I highly recommend using the shipping calculator to get a precise quote before finalizing your purchase. You should also check the list of prohibited items if you plan on adding other US goodies to your shipment, though plushies are generally safe.

How I bypassed credit card blocks with BuyForMe

One major hurdle I encountered was that some of the best US toy boutiques—similar to how Nike or Sephora operate—often decline orders if they see an international credit card or a known freight forwarder address. My Belgian Mastercard was rejected twice at checkout, which was incredibly frustrating.

This is where I used the comGateway "BuyForMe" service. Essentially, I just provided the link to the Jellycat Sun I wanted, and their team bought it on my behalf using a US domestic credit card. It is easily the safest way to guarantee an order doesn't get cancelled by picky US retailers. It saved me the headache of dealing with payment errors and ensured I didn't miss out on the limited stock.

My experience using a freight forwarder

The process was surprisingly smooth. Once BuyForMe secured my Sun, it was sent to my US address. From there, the package forwarding service notified me the moment it arrived. I had the option to let it sit in the warehouse if I wanted to shop from other stores and combine everything into one box to save on DHL international shipping or FedEx international shipping costs.

If you have questions about how the warehouse storage works, I found their FAQ section very helpful for first-timers.

A note on Belgium import tax

When the package arrives in Belgium, remember that you will likely need to pay import tax (VAT) and potentially a small customs clearance fee. For Belgium, the standard VAT rate is 21%. Even with this added cost, my total spend was still lower than the 'collector prices' being asked on local Belgian marketplaces. My advice is to keep your invoices ready just in case customs asks for verification, but usually, the major carriers handle the paperwork for you.

Buying the 2026 Giant Jellycat Sun this way felt like a small victory. I got exactly what I wanted without waiting for a local restock that might never come!
