I found the best way to get the Topicals Slather Exfoliating Body Serum Jumbo Size in Germany without the massive markup
Why I needed the Topicals Slather Jumbo Size
I have been a fan of Topicals for a while, but being in Germany makes it incredibly difficult to get my hands on their products. This week, Topicals launched their 10oz Jumbo Size of the Slather Exfoliating Body Serum, and I knew I had to have it. If you struggle with "strawberry skin" or keratosis pilaris like I do, you know this serum is a total lifesaver. The new jumbo size offers the absolute best value I have seen yet, especially since I use it all over my body.
While the brand is a rising star in places like Australia, we still don't have a local physical retail presence here in Germany. I used to rely on expensive resellers, but the prices they charge for the standard size are often higher than what the Jumbo size costs in the USA.
The price gap is real
When I looked at the math, I was shocked. Buying the 10oz Jumbo size directly from a US store is significantly more affordable than trying to source multiple small tubes locally. I found that I could save a significant amount of money by bundling my skincare haul and shipping it from the US.

How I buy from US stores from Germany
I always use comGateway to handle my US shopping. Since many US brands don't offer direct international shipping to Europe, I use my tax-free US address provided by them. It is a simple step-by-step guide: I shop at stores like Sephora or the official Topicals website, send the package to my US suite, and then they forward packages to my door in Germany.
If you are worried about costs, I highly recommend you estimate shipping cost using their shipping calculator before you buy. It helps me stay within my budget every time I shop.
Shipping estimates for Topicals Slather
To help you plan your own haul, I put together these estimates based on my recent order of the Topicals Slather Exfoliating Body Serum (Jumbo Size):
| Box Weight | Approx. 1.2 lbs (0.55 kg) for a single jumbo tube with packaging. |
| Box Dimensions | Small (Approx. 9 x 3 x 3 inches). It’s very compact. |
| Volumetric Warning | No concerns here. This item is dense and small, so you won't be charged extra for "large but light" packaging. |
| Battery Check | This item contains no lithium batteries, so there are no special shipping rules or extra fees to worry about. |
Before you ship, always double-check the latest prohibited items list to ensure your other skincare goodies are safe to fly.
Avoiding cancelled orders with BuyForMe
One of the biggest hurdles I faced was that some US stores, including big beauty retailers, often block international credit cards. I’ve had my orders cancelled multiple times because I was using a German Visa or because the store flagged my package forwarding address. It’s incredibly frustrating when you are just trying to buy some serum!
I found the solution through comGateway’s "BuyForMe" service. Instead of me struggling with the checkout, I just tell them what I want, and they buy the item on my behalf using a US domestic card. This is the safest way to guarantee my order doesn't get cancelled at the last minute. It makes the whole process of using a freight forwarder much smoother.
Getting it delivered to Germany
Once the package arrived at my US address, I checked the international shipping rates to see which carrier was fastest. I love that international shipping doesn't have to be a guessing game. Their international shipping service allows me to track the serum from the warehouse all the way to my house in Berlin.
I’ve found that by using this parcel forwarding service, I can access the newest 2026 product launches the same week they hit the shelves in New York. If you want to see exactly how it works, their site has a great breakdown for beginners. I’m already planning my next order for the summer!
