My logistical blueprint for getting the Friend AI Pendant from the US to France

Why I decided to acquire the Friend AI Pendant

The Friend AI wearable pendant became my top tech target this April 2026. After seeing it dominate social feeds in the US and Hong Kong, I realized this always-on companion is more than just a novelty. It acts as a digital confidant that listens to my day and provides context-aware feedback. Since the official store primarily focuses on the US market, I had to map out a clear strategy to get it delivered to my home in France without complications.

My step-by-step buying plan from US stores

My first step was identifying a reliable freight forwarder. I chose comGateway because they provide a tax-free US address in Oregon, which effectively lowered my initial purchase price by avoiding US sales tax. I followed their step-by-step guide to set up my account and obtain my dedicated shipping suite. Once I had my US address, I was ready to shop US store sites that stock the latest AI hardware.

I tracked the inventory across several major retailers. When the Friend Pendant became available, I used my comGateway address as the shipping destination. This allowed me to bypass the lack of direct international shipping options from the manufacturer's primary website.

Overcoming payment barriers with BuyForMe

During my research, I noticed a common hurdle: many US tech retailers and boutique AI startups often block orders that use international credit cards or billing addresses from outside the States. I have seen many colleagues in France have their orders cancelled by stores like Apple or specialized electronics shops for this exact reason. To ensure my order was successful, I utilized the BuyForMe service.

Through this proxy shopping solution, comGateway staff purchased the pendant on my behalf using a US-based payment method. This eliminated the risk of my French card being declined. It is the most secure method I found to guarantee that my order wouldn't be flagged or cancelled during the checkout process. If you are struggling with a store that won't accept your payment, I highly recommend this assisted purchase route.

Shipping estimates and logistics breakdown

Before I finalized the purchase, I used the shipping calculator to prepare my budget. Because the Friend Pendant is a compact wearable, the costs are relatively low, but there are specific logistical details I had to consider.

I checked the prohibited items list to ensure compliance. Because it contains a battery, it must be shipped according to specific safety regulations. I ensured the freight forwarder was aware of the battery content so they could apply the necessary IATA labeling. This prevents delays during the air transit phase.

Handling import tax and France delivery

When the package arrived at the warehouse, I prepared for the final leg of the journey: ship to France. I knew that my shipment would be subject to import tax (VAT) upon arrival in the EU. I made sure to factor this into my total cost blueprint. If you have questions about specific documentation, the FAQ section on the site provides clear answers on how to handle customs declarations.

I opted for DHL international shipping for the final delivery because of their reliable tracking system in France. Within a few days of my package leaving the US, it was at my doorstep in Paris. By following this structured plan, I avoided the typical headaches of buying international tech and successfully integrated the Friend AI Pendant into my daily routine.
