I found a way to get the Pixel 10a US bundles sent to Belgium without the usual headaches

The Pixel 10a Hype

Since its launch earlier this March 2026, I have been glued to my screen watching reviews of the new Google Pixel 10a. It is easily the most talked-about mid-range phone right now, and for good reason. It packs the same Tensor G5 chip found in the Pro models, but at a fraction of the cost. However, I noticed something frustrating: the US retailers are offering 'unlocked' bundles that include free Pixel Buds or massive trade-in credits that we just do not see here in Belgium.

I spent some time browsing us trends and realized that if I bought it directly from a US store, I could save nearly €150 compared to local electronics shops in Brussels. The problem is usually getting it across the Atlantic, but I found a workaround that actually works.

Busting the myth about shipping US tech to Belgium

A lot of my friends in Antwerp told me that buying a phone from the USA is a bad idea because of the shipping costs or the 'myth' that US phones won't work on our Proximus or Telenet networks. I can tell you from experience that modern Pixels are global devices. The LTE and 5G bands are compatible, and since the Pixel 10a uses USB-C, you don't even need to worry about the US wall plug—just use your existing Belgium charger.

The other myth is that shipping is too expensive. When I checked the shipping calculator, the cost was much lower than the price difference of the phone itself. It turns out that if you use a parcel forwarding service, you can manage the costs effectively.

My method for buying from US stores

To get my hands on the US-exclusive 'Porcelain' color bundle, I signed up for a tax-free us address. This is a crucial step because it allows me to shop at US retailers without paying US sales tax, which can be as high as 10% in some states. Instead, the phone is sent to a warehouse in Oregon before it makes its way to me.

If you are wondering how it works, it is quite simple. You use the warehouse address as your shipping address at checkout, and then the freight forwarder notifies you when the package arrives. From there, you just choose your shipping method to Belgium.

Shipping Logistics Estimates

I know many of you are worried about the weight and size affecting the price. Based on my research for the Google Pixel 10a, here is what you can expect for the logistics:

• Box Weight: Approx. 0.6 kg (1.3 lbs). This includes the phone, the charging cable, and the retail packaging.
• Box Dimensions: Small (Approx. 18cm x 10cm x 5cm). It is a very compact box, so it won't take up much space in a shipping container.
• Volumetric Warning: Since the Pixel 10a box is small and dense, you do not need to worry about volumetric weight. You will likely be charged based on the actual weight.
• Battery Check: Yes, this item contains a Lithium-ion battery. Most international shipping service providers can handle this under 'Section II of PI967' regulations, meaning the battery is contained within the equipment. Just ensure you declare it correctly to avoid delays.

The BuyForMe Solution for Google Store orders

One hurdle I hit was that the US Google Store and some retailers like Best Buy often block international credit cards. I tried my Belgian Mastercard, and the order was immediately cancelled because the billing address didn't match the US shipping address. This is a common wall that many shoppers hit.

We found the solution through the "BuyForMe" service. Instead of me struggling with my own card, I just provided the link to the package forwarding team, and they bought the item on my behalf using a US domestic credit card. This is the safest way to guarantee your order doesn't get flagged or cancelled by strict US retail systems. It saved me a lot of stress and ensured I actually got the promotional bundle before it sold out.

What I learned about Belgium import rules

When shipping to Belgium, you need to be aware of VAT (21%). While the US price looks amazing, remember that you will be asked to pay VAT when the package enters the EU. However, even with the VAT and the cost of the international shipping, the total was still cheaper than buying the phone locally in Brussels. Plus, I got the exclusive US-only accessories that I couldn't find anywhere else.

If you want to try this yourself, I recommend checking out the latest popular products to see if there are other items you can consolidate into one shipment. Consolidating multiple items into one box is another great way to lower the overall cost per item.
