My secret to getting the 100ml U Beauty Value Size delivered to the Netherlands

April 15, 2026

The price gap is real

I have been a fan of the U Beauty Resurfacing Compound for years, but keeping up with the 30ml or 50ml bottles available here in the Netherlands was starting to drain my bank account. In 2026, the local price for a 50ml bottle is often more than what I would pay for the massive 100ml Value Size in the United States. I realized that if I wanted to keep my skin glowing without going broke, I had to look across the Atlantic.

The 100ml size is a US-exclusive offering. It is designed for the most loyal fans of the brand, providing a significantly better price-per-ounce. Even when I factored in the cost of international shipping, the savings were too big to ignore. That is when I decided to use a freight forwarder to bridge the gap.

Why the 100ml Value Size matters

If you are like me and use this serum daily, you know how fast those small bottles disappear. The Resurfacing Compound is a powerhouse that replaces about six different products in my routine. By grabbing the 100ml version from a tax-free us address, I am essentially getting double the product for only about 40% more than the cost of the 50ml bottle. I always check the latest us trends to see if other beauty brands are offering similar value sizes that aren't available in Europe yet.

Shipping US skincare to the Netherlands

Since U Beauty’s US site does not ship directly to Amsterdam, I used comGateway to handle the logistics. The process is straightforward once you know how it works. They gave me a US address to use at checkout, and once my package arrived at their warehouse, they prepared it for its journey to my doorstep.

My shipping estimates for Netherlands delivery

To help you figure out if this is worth it for you, I put together some estimates based on my recent order. You can also use the shipping calculator to get a more precise number based on your specific city.

Metric Estimate
Box Weight Approx. 0.6 kg (1.3 lbs) including protective packaging.
Box Dimensions Small (approx. 18cm x 12cm x 10cm).
Volumetric Warning No concerns here. The item is dense and the box is small, so you will likely be charged by actual weight rather than volume.
Battery Check None. This is a liquid topical serum; no lithium batteries are involved.

I always keep an eye on the international shipping rates for FedEx international shipping or DHL international shipping, as they are usually the most reliable for getting high-end skincare to the Netherlands quickly.

Solving the checkout struggle with BuyForMe

One hurdle I encountered was that some high-end beauty retailers in the US are very picky about payment. Many of them automatically decline orders if the credit card billing address is outside the US, even if you are shipping to a forwarder. This is a common issue with sites like Sephora or exclusive brand boutiques.

My solution was using the BuyForMe service. This is a form of proxy shopping where comGateway uses their own US-based credit card to purchase the item for me. It completely removes the risk of a cancelled order. If you have ever had your order flagged for using an international card, this buy for me option is the most reliable workaround.

Handling customs and VAT

When shipping to the Netherlands, you have to account for import tax and VAT. As of 2026, the Dutch VAT rate remains at 21%. While the savings on the 100ml Value Size are massive, I always recommend reading up on customs tax rules to ensure you aren't surprised by the final bill. Usually, for a single bottle of skincare, the process is very smooth, but it is better to be informed about the local regulations in the Netherlands before your package arrives.
