Mist me with those Swiss prices – how I got the Touchland Discovery Set from the US for way less

Why I fell for the Touchland hype

It started with a single TikTok video. I saw the sleek, rectangular design of the Touchland Power Mist and suddenly my standard drugstore hand sanitizer felt like a relic from the past. For those of us living in Switzerland, finding these aesthetic sets is a challenge. While we can occasionally find a single bottle, the famous Discovery Sets—featuring those dreamy scents like 'Rainwater' and 'Apple'—are almost exclusively found in US stores like Sephora or the official Touchland site.

I wanted that variety pack, and I wanted it at the US price point. In 2026, keeping up with these us trends shouldn't mean paying triple the price. I realized that the price gap between what Americans pay and what boutique importers in Europe charge is quite significant. To get the best deal, I knew I had to shop directly from the source.

How I shop US stores from Switzerland

Since Touchland doesn't ship directly to my door in Zurich, I used a freight forwarder to bridge the gap. By using a tax-free us address, I managed to avoid US sales tax at the checkout, which already saved me a few francs. The process is simpler than I expected: I buy the item, send it to my comGateway suite, and then manage the international shipping from there.

If you are looking to ship to Switzerland, this is easily the most efficient method I have found. It allows me to access the full range of scents that aren't available in our local shops.

Shipping Estimates for your Discovery Set

Before you place your order, you should always check a shipping calculator. Here is my estimate for what you can expect when shipping the Touchland Power Mist Discovery Set (usually a 5-pack or 8-pack):

• Box Weight: Approx. 1.2 lbs (0.55 kg). These are light, but the packaging adds a bit of weight.
• Box Dimensions: Small (Approx. 9" x 7" x 3"). It is a very compact item.
• Volumetric Warning: Since these sets are quite small and dense, you don't need to worry about volumetric weight. You are only likely to be charged for the actual weight.
• Battery Check: This item does NOT contain lithium batteries. However, keep in mind that hand sanitizers contain high concentrations of alcohol. This means they are classified as "Dangerous Goods" (DG) by carriers like DHL international shipping or FedEx international shipping. Check with your freight forwarder for any additional handling fees for flammable liquids.

When US stores don't like my Swiss card

I ran into a bit of a snag when I first tried to buy from a major US beauty retailer. They actually blocked my Swiss credit card! This is a common issue where US stores decline orders sent to forwarders or those using international billing addresses. This is where I discovered proxy shopping through the "BuyForMe" service.

When I use comGateway's "BuyForMe" service, they handle the entire transaction. They use a US domestic credit card to purchase the item on my behalf. It is the safest way to guarantee my order doesn't get cancelled by picky retailers. If you've ever had your order flagged, this service is the perfect workaround to ensure your aesthetic sanitizers actually make it to the warehouse.

Navigating Swiss import tax and duties

Living in Switzerland means we have to be mindful of import tax. Currently, in 2026, the Swiss VAT rate is 8.1%. If the value of your package (including shipping costs) generates a tax amount of 5 CHF or more, you will be charged. For a single Discovery Set, you might stay under the limit, but if you are buying multiple sets for friends, keep an eye on those customs tax thresholds.

I always find it helpful to calculate these costs ahead of time so there are no surprises when the courier arrives at my door. It’s better to be prepared for the import tax than to have a package held up at the border.

The final verdict on the price gap

By the time I factored in the US retail price and the shipping, I still ended up paying significantly less than I would have at a high-end Swiss boutique—if they even had the scents I wanted. The convenience of having my freight forwarder consolidate my packages also means I can add a few more US treats to the box without much extra cost.

My hands are clean, they smell like 'Rainwater,' and I didn't have to overpay for the privilege. If you're looking for that specific US aesthetic in Switzerland, shopping the US stores is the way to go.
