My must-know tips for getting the Bubble Skincare Summer Break kit delivered to the Netherlands
Table of Contents
Why I think this kit is taking over my feed
I have been seeing the Bubble Skincare 'Summer Break' Essentials Kit everywhere on TikTok lately. It is that specific "preppy" skincare aesthetic that Gen Z is obsessed with, and honestly, the brand has done a great job with their 2026 summer lineup. I noticed that this kit is a US-exclusive bundle, which is a bit of a bummer for us in Europe since it is not sitting on the shelves of our local stores yet.
The kit usually includes their fan-favorite cleansers and moisturizers, but in a curated set that is designed for travel or just refreshing your skin during the warmer months. Because I wanted to stay on top of the latest us trends, I decided to see how difficult it would be to get this kit sent to my home in the Netherlands.

How I buy from US stores while living in the Netherlands
When I first tried to order the kit, I realized many US retailers do not offer direct international shipping to the Netherlands, or if they do, the costs are way too high. I have found that the easiest way around this is to use a freight forwarder like comGateway. They provide me with a tax-free us address which I can use at checkout just like I live in the States.
I usually shop at major US retailers or the official Bubble Skincare site. Once my package arrives at the warehouse, I use their international shipping service to get it forwarded to me. It sounds like a lot of steps, but it is actually quite simple once you have your account set up. If you are curious about the process, you can find more details in the FAQ or support section.
My logistics breakdown for the Summer Break Kit
I know how important it is to plan for costs before clicking buy. I used a shipping calculator to estimate shipping cost for this specific skincare set. Here is the data I used for my calculations:
| Metric | Estimate |
|---|---|
| Box Weight | Approx. 1.2 lbs (0.55 kg) |
| Box Dimensions | Approx. 7 x 5 x 4 inches (Small Box) |
| Volumetric Weight | Low risk. This item is compact and dense enough that the actual weight usually applies. |
| Battery Check | None. This kit contains creams and liquids, so no lithium battery restrictions apply. |
I always recommend checking the shipping calculator yourself because adding more items to your shipment can actually save you money per item. Since this kit is relatively light, I usually try to bundle it with a few other US-exclusive beauty products to make the most of the shipping fee.
Managing import duties and VAT in 2026
One thing I have to keep in mind when shipping to the Netherlands is the potential for import duties and VAT. In 2026, the rules for importing goods from outside the EU are pretty straightforward, but you should always be prepared for the local customs office to apply charges once the package enters the country. You might also like to check our guide on import duties to stay updated on the latest regulations for the Netherlands.
I found that being transparent on the customs declaration form helps avoid delays. Most package forwarders make this part easy by allowing you to declare the value of the Bubble Skincare 'Summer Break' Essentials Kit right in your dashboard. If you have questions about how these fees are calculated, the international shipping service page has some great resources.
How I set up my international shipping
If you are ready to get your hands on this kit, I can walk you through how it works. First, I signed up for a step-by-step guide on their platform to get my US address. Then, I headed to the US store, entered that address at checkout, and waited for the notification that my package had arrived at the warehouse.
I like having the control to choose my preferred courier. Once I settled the shipping fees, the kit arrived at my door in the Netherlands in about 5 to 8 business days. It is the most reliable way I have found to keep my skincare routine updated with products that aren't available locally. If you ever run into trouble, I suggest reaching out to their support team for help.
