I found the only way to get the Rabbit R2 delivered to Australia without the retail markup

Why I am tracking the Rabbit R2 release so closely

I have been following the AI hardware space since the original R1 launched, and the Rabbit R2 is the device I’ve actually been waiting for. In 2026, the jump in processing power and the refined Large Action Model (LAM) make this more than just a toy. It is a legitimate productivity tool. My interest peaked when I saw the early beta reviews showing it handling complex multi-app workflows that the previous generation struggled with. For those of us in Australia, the hardware is enticing, but the lack of a local presence is the main hurdle I had to clear.

More about shipping to Australia

Correcting the myth that US AI hardware is out of reach for Australians

I often hear people say that buying US-exclusive tech like the Rabbit R2 is too expensive or simply impossible because of shipping restrictions. I want to correct that assumption immediately. It isn't impossible; you just need the right workflow. Many tech enthusiasts assume that if a website doesn't offer direct Australia delivery, the dream is dead. I have found that by using a freight forwarder, I can access the same launch-day pricing as someone living in California. I don't have to wait for a local distributor to add their 30% margin. I simply use my tax-free US address provided by comGateway to bridge the gap.

How I use BuyForMe to bypass strict US store policies

I have run into a specific problem more than once: high-demand US stores often block international credit cards. I've seen it happen with Apple, Nike, and even specialized tech startups like Rabbit. They might decline my order because my billing address is in Sydney or because they recognize the shipping address belongs to a warehouse. This is where I use the comGateway BuyForMe service.

The problem is frustrating. You have the money, and the item is in stock, but the payment gateway rejects you. The BuyForMe service is my solution. I tell them what I want to buy, and they use a US-based domestic credit card to make the purchase on my behalf. It is the safest way I have found to guarantee my order doesn't get cancelled at the last second. If you are worried about your Australian card being rejected during the Rabbit R2 drop, this service is your best bet to ensure you actually get the device.

Where I plan to shop for the Rabbit R2 in the US

I keep a close eye on us trends to see which retailers get the first stock. While the official Rabbit website is the obvious choice, I also look at major electronics retailers that might offer bundles or faster domestic shipping to my warehouse. I have noticed that even in early 2026, the stock levels for AI hardware fluctuate wildly. By shopping the US market, I have a much better chance of finding a unit compared to waiting for the limited stock that eventually trickles down to the Southern Hemisphere.

Calculating my total costs for Australia delivery

I never guess what I am going to pay. Before I commit to a purchase, I use the shipping calculator to get a clear picture of the final price. I factor in the weight of the Rabbit R2—which is quite light—and the dimensions of the packaging. I also check the current international shipping rates to see if I should choose express or standard shipping. In my experience, express is worth the extra few dollars for high-value electronics because it minimizes the time the package is in transit. When I ship to Australia, I am also mindful of the GST and customs regulations, which are straightforward as long as you have your paperwork handled by a professional service.

The exact steps I use to ship to my door

I follow a very specific routine to ensure my packages arrive safely. First, I log into my account to verify my US address. When I shop us store sites, I enter that address exactly as it appears in my dashboard. Once the Rabbit R2 arrives at the warehouse, I get a notification. I usually opt for extra packing material since it is a delicate electronic device. I then review the international shipping options and select the one that fits my timeline. My packages usually clear customs and arrive at my door in Australia within 5 to 8 business days. It is a seamless process that I have used for dozens of gadgets that were never officially released here.

I have found that being proactive is the only way to stay ahead in the tech world. If you want the Rabbit R2, don't wait for a local release that might never happen. Use the tools available to buy it directly from the source.
