Save $40 by shopping at US retailers instead of local shops

The biggest reason to look toward the US market is the price tag. Even in 2026, retail markups for specialized gaming tech in Taiwan can be steep. By choosing to shop us store websites like Amazon or Best Buy, you can often find the Gen 2 model for $30 to $40 less than what local importers charge. To make this work, you just need a tax-free us address to avoid local state taxes within America.

Using a freight forwarder like comGateway allows you to bridge the gap between US-only shipping and your home in Taipei or Kaohsiung. When you forward packages through a dedicated warehouse, you get access to international shipping rates that are much lower than what a standard retail site would charge for direct shipping.

Shipping Estimates and logistics for Taiwan delivery

Before you hit the checkout button, it is smart to estimate shipping cost using a shipping calculator. Here is a breakdown of what to expect for the Backbone One (Gen 2) package:

Because this device does not contain a lithium battery, you do not have to worry about the strict hazardous material regulations that often slow down Taiwan delivery for other electronics. This makes the shipping process significantly faster. You can check the FAQ for more details on prohibited items if you plan on adding other gear to your order.

Dealing with store cancellations using BuyForMe

One hurdle many shoppers face is that certain US retailers are picky about payment methods. Some of the best deals for the Backbone One are found on sites that occasionally block international credit cards or refuse to ship directly to a parcel forwarding service. If you find your order getting cancelled, do not worry; there is a workaround.

The comGateway "BuyForMe" service is specifically designed for this scenario. Instead of you trying to use a Taiwan-based card, the team buys the item for you using a US domestic card. This is often the most reliable way to buy from US ship to Taiwan when dealing with difficult retailers. It guarantees your order goes through, saving you the headache of pending charges and cancellation emails. You can see a step-by-step guide on how it works on their main site.

A quick walkthrough to get your controller home

If you want the fastest route to unboxing your new controller, follow these steps. First, sign up for a package forwarding account to get your unique US warehouse address. Once you have that, head to your preferred US retailer and place your order. If the store gives you trouble, switch to the BuyForMe service immediately to keep the momentum going.

Once your Backbone One arrives at the warehouse, you can check the shipping fees and choose the fastest express option. Most gamers find that ship to Taiwan services are surprisingly quick once the item leaves the US. If you have questions about customs or local duties, the Taiwan delivery page has specific info for our region. By handling the logistics this way, you get the latest Gen 2 hardware weeks before it hits most local shelves and for a much better price.
