I found the fastest way to get the Rabbit R2 from the US to Switzerland

Why I am obsessed with the Rabbit R2

I’ve been following the AI hardware space closely, and the Rabbit R2 (Batch 1) is the first device in 2026 that feels like a true successor to the smartphone. The new Action Model 2 is significantly faster than the original, and we finally have physical privacy shutters that actually work. For me, the appeal is the dedicated hardware that doesn't just talk but actually performs tasks across my apps without me needing to touch a screen.

The issue for those of us in Switzerland is that Rabbit currently prioritizes US addresses for the initial Batch 1 rollout. I wasn't willing to wait months for a local release, so I looked into my favorite workaround to get it early.

The problem with US-only shipping

When I tried to check out on the official site, I realized they don't offer direct delivery to Zurich. Even worse, many US tech retailers are notoriously picky. I’ve had friends try to use a standard freight forwarder address only to have their orders cancelled because the store detected an international credit card or a warehouse address. This is a common hurdle when you want to shop US store brands from abroad.

How I bypassed credit card blocks with BuyForMe

I’ve learned the hard way that stores like Apple, Nike, and even specialized tech labs often block Swiss credit cards or decline orders sent to known shipping hubs. This is where I rely on the BuyForMe service.

Basically, we tell comGateway what we want, and they buy it on our behalf using a US domestic payment card. This is a form of proxy shopping that removes the risk of a cancelled order. I found this to be the safest way to guarantee my Rabbit R2 spot in Batch 1. They handle the transaction, and I don't have to worry about my Swiss billing address being a red flag. If you are struggling with a store that won't accept your payment, this assisted purchase is the secret weapon you need.

Getting my package to Switzerland

Once comGateway secured my Rabbit R2, it was sent to my tax-free US address in Oregon. This saved me from paying US sales tax, which is a nice little bonus. From there, I needed to choose an international shipping method. I used the shipping calculator to compare rates between DHL international shipping and FedEx international shipping.

I usually prefer the international shipping service that offers the best tracking, as the Rabbit R2 is a high-value item. My package was processed quickly, and I could track it every step of the way from the warehouse to my door in Switzerland.

What I paid for Swiss import tax

When the package enters Switzerland, we have to deal with the Federal Tax Administration. I had to pay the standard import tax (VAT), which is 8.1% in 2026, plus a small administrative fee from the carrier. It is important to factor this into your budget so you aren't surprised when the invoice arrives. If you are unsure about the rules for electronics, the FAQ on the comGateway site has some great pointers on customs declarations.

My quick setup tips

My Rabbit R2 arrived in perfect condition, and because I was in Batch 1, I got to test the Action Model 2 before most of Europe. If you are planning to follow my lead, I recommend setting up your account early and using package forwarding to consolidate any other US tech you’ve been eyeing. Using a reliable freight forwarder makes the process of getting US-exclusive gear feel like shopping at a local Swiss store, just with a slightly longer flight for the package.
