I found a secret stash of Sonny Angel Home Sweet Home boxes in the US that ship to Italy in days

The Sonny Angel Shortage in Europe

I’ve spent the last few weeks watching my TikTok feed fill up with the most adorable unboxings of the Sonny Angel 'Home Sweet Home' Series Blind Box. If you’re like me and based in Italy, you know the struggle. Every boutique in Milan is sold out, and the Parisian shops I follow on Instagram seem to clear their entire inventory within minutes of a restock. I realized that if I wanted to get my hands on the 'Baking Treats' or 'Gardening' figures before the end of 2026, I had to look elsewhere.

More about shipping to Italy

Why the US Market is Different

While monitoring us trends, I noticed a weird discrepancy. While Europe is facing a massive supply crunch for these specific blind boxes, major US retailers like Urban Outfitters have been maintaining much deeper stock levels. It seems the distribution volume in North America is currently outpacing the viral demand, giving us a window of opportunity to grab them before they disappear there too. I found that shopping from the US is often the fastest way to secure high-demand collectibles that are bottlenecked in the EU.

My Speed Run Strategy for Italy Delivery

I decided to take the leap and order from a US store. To do this, I needed a tax-free us address to avoid paying local US sales tax at the point of purchase. I used comGateway as my primary freight forwarder. This allowed me to have my packages sent to a warehouse in Oregon before being forwarded directly to my home. It’s the most efficient way I’ve found to shop us store collections that don't offer direct international shipping to Italy.

Shipping Estimates and Logistics

When I was planning my shipment, I wanted to make sure I wasn't going to be surprised by the costs. I used the shipping calculator to get a rough idea of the total. Here is what I discovered about the Sonny Angel 'Home Sweet Home' Series Blind Box logistics:

Since these figures contain no restricted materials, I didn't have to worry about any shipping rules regarding hazardous goods. It makes the ship to Italy process much smoother.

The BuyForMe Solution for US Retailers

I ran into a common snag while trying to checkout at a popular US lifestyle store: my Italian credit card was declined. Some US retailers have strict security filters that block international payment methods or orders destined for known forwarding addresses. This is where I turned to the BuyForMe service.

This proxy shopping option is a lifesaver. Basically, the comGateway team buys the item for me using a US-based payment method. I just provide the URL of the Sonny Angel series I want, and they handle the purchase. It’s the safest way I’ve found to guarantee my order doesn't get cancelled by picky US webstores. If you are struggling with a specific shop, I highly recommend this assisted purchase route.

Localizing for Italy and Import Rules

Before my package arrived, I made sure to prepare for the Italy delivery requirements. Since I am importing from outside the EU, I knew I would need to account for import tax and VAT. In 2026, the Italian customs process is quite streamlined, but you should always expect to pay the 22% VAT on the total value of your shipment plus any applicable customs tax if the value exceeds 150 EUR.

I found that even with these costs, the price was comparable to what I would pay a reseller in Europe—and I actually got the items I wanted instead of staring at a "Sold Out" button. If you're curious about the latest rules, check our guide on import duties for 2026. My Sonny Angels arrived in Rome just nine days after they reached the US warehouse, which I consider a total win for my collection.
