I used a freight forwarder to get the Béis Weekender Bag from the US to Germany for less

Why the Béis Weekender Bag is my 2026 travel essential

I have spent most of early 2026 looking for the perfect travel companion, and nothing matches the hype of the Béis Weekender Bag. It has become the definitive 'it' bag this year, especially since the release of the limited Atlas collection. While I found some stock in European boutiques, the variety was dismal. The US store remains the only place to find the full range of us trends and the exclusive colorways that everyone is currently obsessed with.

What I love most is the bottom compartment. I can keep my shoes separate from my clothes, which is a necessity for my frequent trips between Berlin and Munich. The quality is top-tier, but the availability in Germany is limited, often leaving us with last year’s leftovers or inflated prices.

The price gap between the US and Germany

When I compared the costs, the decision was easy. Buying locally in Germany often involves a hefty markup from third-party retailers. By choosing to shop us store sites directly, I accessed the original retail pricing. Even after accounting for shipping, the savings were clear.

I found that the Atlas collection, which is highly sought after in 2026, isn't even fully stocked in most EU regions. By using a freight forwarder, I bypassed the regional restrictions and got the exact model I wanted.

My shipping estimates for the Weekender Bag

I know many people worry about the cost of international shipping. To help you plan your budget, I have put together these estimates based on my own experience and the comGateway shipping calculator. This bag is sturdy, which means it has some weight and bulk to it.

Volumetric Warning: The Béis Weekender is a structured bag. Even though it is not extremely heavy, it is bulky. Shipping carriers often charge based on the space a package takes up rather than its actual weight. I recommend using the comGateway consolidation service if you are buying other items to fill the empty space inside the bag, which helps maximize your shipping value.

Overcoming payment blocks with proxy shopping

One of the biggest hurdles I faced when trying to buy from specific US retailers was the dreaded payment decline. Some major US stores, similar to how Nike, Sephora, or Apple operate, often block international credit cards or refuse to ship to known warehouse addresses. This can make getting your hands on exclusive 2026 Béis drops very frustrating.

I solved this by using proxy shopping. Specifically, I used the "BuyForMe" service. The process is simple: I told comGateway what I wanted, and they used a US domestic credit card to purchase the bag on my behalf. This is the most reliable way to ensure your order isn't cancelled by US retailers who have strict regional sales policies. It felt like having a personal shopper in the States who then handed the package over for international shipping.

My step-by-step guide to shipping to Germany

If you want to replicate my success, here is a quick step-by-step guide on how I handled the process. First, I signed up for a tax-free us address. This allowed me to avoid US sales tax at the point of purchase, which already saved me about 7-10% depending on the store's location.

Once my bag arrived at the warehouse, I had to consider the import tax and customs tax for Germany. Since the bag is coming from outside the EU, you will likely need to pay the 19% Einfuhrumsatzsteuer (Import VAT) and potentially a small customs duty if the value exceeds €150. You can learn more about these charges on the import duties blog.

I chose DHL international shipping for the final leg to Berlin because of their excellent tracking. FedEx international shipping is also a great option if you need your bag in a hurry for a last-minute trip. My bag arrived in perfect condition, and even with the import tax, I still came out ahead compared to buying locally—plus, I have a color that no one else in my neighborhood has yet.
