I almost 'packed' away €100 in extra fees by buying my Béis Carry-On from a Dutch importer

Why I joined the Béis aesthetic hype

I have seen the Béis The 21-inch Carry-On Roller in every travel vlog I have watched this year. By March 2026, it has become the gold standard for that minimalist, luxury travel look. I was captivated by the built-in weight indicator and those smooth-as-butter 360-degree wheels. After seeing it travel from Los Angeles to Schiphol on my feed dozens of times, I decided I needed to get my hands on one. However, I quickly realized that if I didn't play my cards right, I would end up paying a massive premium just for living in the Netherlands.

The financial risk of buying Béis in the Netherlands

I started my search by looking for local importers in the Netherlands, and I was shocked by the markup. Some third-party sellers were charging nearly 40% more than the official US retail price. I realized that if I blindly bought from a local site, I would be throwing money away that could have been spent on my actual vacation. I knew there had to be a better way to get this bag from the States to my front door. Check our guide on: Read more: Can spending €200 on a Béis Carry-On from the US save you €62 compared to local importers?

I decided to use a freight forwarder to bridge the gap. By using a tax-free us address, I could shop directly from the official Béis US store and avoid the middleman. This is the only way I found to keep the price reasonable while ensuring I was getting the authentic 2026 model.

My shipping estimates for the 21-inch Roller

I did some homework before placing my order to make sure I wasn't surprised by the freight costs. Luggage is tricky because even though it isn't heavy, it takes up a lot of space. I used the shipping calculator to prepare my budget. Here is what I found for the Béis 21-inch Carry-On Roller:

How I avoided cancelled orders with BuyForMe

I hit a major roadblock when I first tried to checkout. I found that many popular US stores, including some that carry Béis, often block international credit cards or decline orders if the billing address doesn't match the US shipping address. I tried my Dutch Mastercard, and my order was cancelled within minutes. I was worried I’d have to give up on the bag entirely.

Thankfully, I discovered the "BuyForMe" service. Instead of me struggling with my local card, I let the experts at comGateway handle the transaction. They used a US domestic card to buy the bag on my behalf, which is the safest way to guarantee the order doesn't get flagged or cancelled. It saved me a massive headache and ensured my Béis Roller was actually secured. If you are worried about your payment being rejected, I highly recommend using this proxy service for a smooth Netherlands delivery.

Dealing with Dutch import taxes

I made sure to stay informed about the local regulations for bringing goods into the country. I knew that I would have to pay import duties and VAT once the package arrived in the Netherlands. While this is an extra cost, it was still significantly cheaper than paying the inflated prices of local importers. I checked the FAQ to understand how the paperwork is handled, and it was much simpler than I expected. By being proactive, I ensured my beautiful new luggage didn't get stuck at the border, and I saved a small fortune in the process.
