The math behind the 75ml Jumbo size
I have been closely following the us trends in the beauty world lately, and one product keeps appearing on my social feed: the Saie Glowy Super Gel in 'SunGlow'. While we can find Saie products in some European boutiques, we are often limited to the standard 30ml size. In the US, however, they have released a 75ml 'Jumbo Value Size' that is causing quite a stir.
I did some quick calculations. The standard size usually retails for a price that makes the per-milliliter cost significantly higher than the Jumbo version. By opting for the 75ml bottle, I found that you are getting roughly 40% better value. For those of us in the Netherlands trying to maintain that 'clean girl' aesthetic throughout 2026, this isn't just a beauty choice—it is a financial one. Even when I account for the cost of a freight forwarder, the bulk savings on the product itself often outweigh the logistics costs.
Why US stores often block our Dutch credit cards
I have tried to shop directly from US Sephora and the official Saie website before, only to meet a frustrating 'Order Cancelled' email minutes later. It turns out that many major US retailers have strict security filters. They often block international credit cards or flag addresses that they recognize as commercial warehouses. Even if you have a tax-free us address, your Dutch Mastercard or Visa might be the reason your order never leaves the warehouse.
This is a common hurdle for those of us looking for international shipping solutions. These stores prefer US-issued payment methods, which leaves us in the Netherlands stuck with local prices and smaller sizes.
Using BuyForMe to bypass purchase blocks
To solve this, I started using the comGateway "BuyForMe" service. It is essentially a proxy shopping solution where their team acts on my behalf. Here is how I do it: I tell them exactly which Saie SunGlow Jumbo size I want, and they use a US domestic credit card to make the purchase.
This is the safest way to guarantee that my order doesn't get cancelled by picky US retailers. Because they are using a local payment method, the store views it as a standard domestic transaction. If you are tired of your orders being declined by brands like Sephora, Nike, or Apple, this service is a lifesaver. It removes the stress of wondering if your package will actually be dispatched.
My step-by-step guide to shipping to Amsterdam
If you are new to this, I put together a quick how it works summary based on my recent haul. First, I sign up to get my own US address. Then, I either shop myself or use the BuyForMe service mentioned above. Once the Saie gel arrives at the warehouse, I get a notification.
I usually wait to see if there are other popular products I want to bundle together. Combining multiple items into one shipment is my favorite trick to lower the overall international shipping rates. Once everything is ready, I ship it directly to my door in the Netherlands. It is much simpler than it sounds once you have done it once.
Calculating import tax and shipping fees
Before I click 'ship', I always make sure to check the shipping calculator. It helps me estimate shipping cost so there are no surprises when the package arrives. Since we are in the Netherlands, we also have to consider the import tax and VAT.
In 2026, the Dutch customs office remains quite efficient, but they will charge based on the value of your goods. I find that even with the added international shipping fees and taxes, the Jumbo size of the Saie SunGlow still comes out ahead because the initial product price in the US is so much lower than what we pay for multiple small bottles here.
Whether you prefer DHL international shipping for speed or FedEx international shipping for reliability, using a freight forwarder like comGateway gives you the flexibility to choose the best rate for your budget. My glow has never looked better, and my wallet is surprisingly happy too.
