My shortcut to getting the Drunk Elephant Bora Barrier Jumbo from the US to Belgium without any hassle

Why I wanted the Bora Barrier Jumbo

I have been following the Drunk Elephant 'smoothie' routine for my skincare for a while now, and the Bora Barrier Rich Repair Cream is my favorite base. However, the standard size always runs out too fast. When I saw the new jumbo value size released this week, I knew I had to get it. It is currently a US exclusive, which makes it a bit tricky for me since I live in Belgium. The value difference is huge compared to buying multiple small jars locally, so I decided to use my tax-free us address to secure one before they sell out.

How I shop US stores from Belgium

I do not like dealing with complicated export paperwork. My method is simple: I use comGateway to handle the logistics. They provide a US address that allows me to shop us store websites as if I were living in the States. Once the cream arrives at their warehouse, they notify me, and I choose my preferred shipping method. It is the most direct international shipping service I have used so far in 2026.

My shipping estimates for Belgium

To help you plan your own purchase, I looked at the weight and size of the jumbo jar. Here is what I found when I used the shipping calculator to prepare my budget.

I always check the international shipping rates before I confirm my order to ensure the total cost makes sense compared to local prices. For a single jumbo jar, the shipping is very reasonable because it does not take up much space.

Avoiding cancelled orders with BuyForMe

One problem I frequently face is that many US beauty retailers like Sephora or the official Drunk Elephant site often block international credit cards. I have had several orders declined simply because my billing address is in Belgium. To fix this, I used the "BuyForMe" service.

We tell the comGateway team what we want to buy, and they purchase it on our behalf using a US domestic credit card. This is the safest way to guarantee my order does not get cancelled by the store's fraud filters. It saves me the headache of calling customer support or trying five different cards that all get rejected. If you have questions about how this works, the FAQ section on their site explains the process clearly.

Managing Belgian import duties

Shipping to Belgium means I have to be aware of import duties and VAT. Since 2021, all items coming from outside the EU are subject to VAT. I usually check the latest updates on customs tax to see if there are any new thresholds for 2026. For a high-value skincare item like the Bora Barrier Jumbo, I expect to pay the standard Belgian VAT rate. It is still cheaper than buying multiple small jars at the marked-up European retail price, especially when the jumbo size is not even available here.

Tracking my package

Once my package leaves the US, I can track it all the way to my door in Brussels. I prefer this no-nonsense approach because I do not have to fill out any customs declarations myself; the forwarder handles the logistics. It is the peak of 'lazy' shopping for US exclusives. I simply wait for the notification and my skin barrier stays hydrated all year round.
