I used to think getting Sabrina Carpenter's Cherry Baby to Italy was impossible but I found a way

Why everyone is talking about Cherry Baby in 2026

If you have been on TikTok or Instagram lately, you know exactly what I am talking about. Sabrina Carpenter’s "Cherry Baby" perfume has basically become the signature scent of 2026. After her massive tour success, every beauty influencer I follow has been raving about the notes of dark cherry and chocolate. It is a total vibe, but there is one massive problem for those of us living in Italy: it is currently a US-exclusive launch.

I spent weeks scrolling through comments from frustrated fans in Rome and Milan wondering if we would ever get our hands on it. I saw people saying we just have to wait months for a European release, but I am not that patient. I wanted that bottle on my vanity now.

The myth about shipping perfumes to Italy

I used to believe a very common myth that kept me from buying US beauty products for years. I thought that international shipping for perfumes was strictly forbidden because they are flammable liquids. I also assumed that even if I did manage to ship it, the package would just get stuck at the border forever.

It turns out, I was wrong. While perfumes do require specific handling, a reliable freight forwarder like comGateway knows exactly how to handle these items. We can actually get these US-exclusive scents delivered right to our doorsteps here in Italy as long as we follow the right steps. Once I realized that shipping wasn't the dead end I thought it was, my next hurdle was actually paying for the thing.

How I found a way to shop US stores from my couch

To get the best price, I knew I had to shop US store sites directly rather than looking for overpriced resellers on eBay. Buying from a direct US retailer ensures the product is authentic, which is a big deal when it comes to fragrance. I used my tax-free US address provided by comGateway, which saved me a bit of money on the initial US sales tax that usually gets added at checkout.

However, this is where I hit a wall. Even with a US address, some major beauty retailers in the States are incredibly picky about who they sell to. I tried to use my Italian Mastercard at a couple of popular shops, and my order was cancelled within minutes. They saw my billing address or my international card and just said, "No."

My secret weapon: The BuyForMe service for blocked cards

This is the part of my story where everything changed. I discovered the "BuyForMe" service, which is essentially a specialized proxy shopping solution. It solves the most annoying problem of international shopping: credit card rejection.

Many big US stores—think Sephora, Nike, or Apple—often block international credit cards or simply refuse to ship to addresses they recognize as belonging to a package forwarding company. It is frustrating because I have the money, but they won't take it. With comGateway's BuyForMe service, I just told them what I wanted (the Cherry Baby fragrance), and they bought it on my behalf using a US domestic credit card.

This is the safest way to guarantee your order doesn't get cancelled. I didn't have to worry about my payment being flagged. They handled the purchase, the item arrived at my US locker, and I was ready for the next step. If you are struggling with a store that won't accept your Italian card, this is the way to go.

Calculating your Italy delivery costs

Once my perfume was safe in the warehouse, I needed to figure out how much the international shipping would actually cost. I am always a bit nervous about hidden fees, so I used a shipping calculator to get a clear picture before I committed.

The international shipping rates were actually quite reasonable when I considered I was getting a product that literally isn't sold in my country. I also took advantage of the option to consolidate a few other small items I bought from different stores, which helped me save on the overall shipping fees. Choosing a reputable carrier like DHL international shipping or FedEx international shipping through the platform gave me peace of mind because I could track the package every step of the way across the Atlantic.

What I learned about import tax and customs

One thing we can't ignore in Italy is the import tax. I’ve had friends get surprised by huge bills when a package arrives, but it doesn't have to be a mystery. When you ship to Italy, you need to be aware of the VAT and potential customs duties.

I highly recommend checking out this guide on customs tax to understand how the 2026 regulations work. For my perfume, I factored the import tax into my total budget so there were no surprises. The process of Italy delivery was surprisingly smooth; the customs clearance was handled professionally, and my Cherry Baby fragrance arrived at my house in Milan about 8 days after I authorized the shipment from the US.

So, if you’ve been staring at Sabrina Carpenter’s latest launch and thinking it’s just not possible for us in Italy, take it from me—it totally is. You just need the right freight forwarder and the BuyForMe service to bypass those pesky card blocks!
