Buy It For Me

The appeal lies in the oversized fit and the sheer variety of patterns—from bold florals to abstract geometric designs. However, finding these specific prints in local European boutiques often proves difficult, as stockists frequently only carry the basic solid colors.

The US vs EU availability gap: Why shop abroad?

There is a significant discrepancy between what is available on the Free People US website compared to international retail partners. While a Belgian shopper might find three or four options locally, the US storefront often boasts over twenty different printed variations. Furthermore, the price difference is hard to ignore. Save €45 on your Free People fleece by sourcing it directly from the US rather than waiting for limited Belgian stock that often comes with a hefty regional markup.

To access this variety, many shoppers turn to a freight forwarder to bridge the gap. By using a tax-free US address, you can shop like a local and access the full inventory that Free People offers their domestic market.

Bypassing payment blocks with the BuyForMe service

One of the most frustrating aspects of international shipping and cross-border shopping is the "payment wall." Many major US retailers, including brands like Nike, Sephora, or even specialty fashion outlets, often block international credit cards or automatically decline orders that use a known forwarding address as the billing site.

If you have ever had an order cancelled because your Belgian bank card was flagged, the BuyForMe (Assisted Purchase) service is the solution. Through this service, comGateway acts as your proxy shopping partner. We buy the item on your behalf using a US domestic payment method, ensuring the order is accepted and processed without a hitch. This is the safest way to guarantee your limited-edition fleece doesn't sell out while you are struggling with a payment error. You can find more details on how this works in our FAQ.

How it works: Shipping from the US to Belgium

Getting your package from a US warehouse to your doorstep in Brussels or Antwerp is simpler than it seems. Once your fleece arrives at your comGateway suite, you have control over the next steps. Our step-by-step guide explains how we receive, inspect, and prepare your items for the journey across the Atlantic.

When you are ready to ship, you can choose between premium carriers. Whether you prefer DHL international shipping for speed or FedEx international shipping for reliable tracking, the choice is yours. For those in Belgium, Belgium delivery times typically range from 3 to 8 business days depending on the service level selected.

Calculating import tax and shipping fees

Before you hit the checkout button, it is essential to understand the total landed cost. When importing goods into Belgium from outside the EU, you will be responsible for import tax and VAT. These fees are calculated based on the value of the item and the shipping costs.

To avoid any surprises at your front door, use our shipping calculator to estimate shipping cost and see potential duties. By knowing these numbers upfront, you can confirm that the €45 savings on the retail price still makes the US purchase a smarter financial decision.

The Free People Hit The Slopes fleece isn't just a jacket; it's a 2026 style statement that combines comfort with a bold personality. Don't let regional stock limitations or payment blocks stop you from getting the exact print you want. By utilizing a freight forwarder and the BuyForMe service, you can shop the US market with the same ease as a local, ensuring your autumn wardrobe is both unique and cost-effective.
