The problem? Experiment Beauty is an indie brand that primarily ships within the United States. If you are sitting in Paris or Lyon, you have probably noticed that local retailers simply do not stock it yet. Check our guide on...

Getting your US skincare haul to France

Because the brand does not offer direct international shipping to France, you need a workaround that does not involve begging a cousin in New York to mail it to you. The easiest method is using a freight forwarder. By signing up with comGateway, you get a tax-free us address that you can use at checkout just like any American shopper would.

Once your Buffer Jelly arrives at the warehouse, this international shipping service notifies you, and you can decide when to send it to your doorstep in France. This is the most efficient parcel forwarding service because it allows you to consolidate multiple orders from different US stores into one box, which saves a ton of money on international shipping rates.

Letting experts handle your purchase with BuyForMe

Many US-based online stores have a frustrating habit of blocking international credit cards. Even if you have a freight forwarder address, stores like Sephora or specific indie brands might cancel your order if your billing address is French. This is where the "BuyForMe" service becomes your best friend.

Instead of struggling with a declined card, you simply tell comGateway what you want to buy. They will use a US domestic credit card to purchase the Buffer Jelly on your behalf. This is the safest way to guarantee your order actually goes through and does not get stuck in a cancellation loop. It removes all the paperwork and stress from the process, fitting perfectly into that lazy shopping method we all love. Check our guide on...

Estimating your shipping costs and box details

To help you plan your budget, it is useful to know what you are actually shipping. You can use the shipping calculator to get a precise quote, but here are the general specs for a single tube of Buffer Jelly.

MetricDetails
Box WeightApprox. 0.5 lbs (0.23 kg) including packaging
Box DimensionsSmall (approx. 4x4x6 inches)
Volumetric WarningLow. This item is small and dense, so you will likely be charged by actual weight.
Battery CheckNone. This product contains no lithium batteries and has no special hazmat rules.

Keep in mind that shipping fees are much more efficient if you buy a few items at once. Since the Buffer Jelly is light, adding a few more serums or a cleanser to your package forwarding order will hardly change the price of the international shipping.

Handling import tax and VAT in France

When your package enters France, it will go through customs. You should be prepared for import tax and VAT, which is standard for any shipment coming from outside the EU. Usually, the courier will contact you to pay these fees online before delivery. If you are unsure about the current rates for 2026, you can check the import duties section on the blog for a breakdown of French customs rules.

Using a reliable freight forwarder means all the tracking information is centralized, so you won't be left wondering where your package is. If you ever get confused about the process, the FAQ page has a lot of quick answers for first-time shippers. Now you can finally get that barrier-repairing glow without leaving your house in France.
