Save £45 on Jellycat Amuseable Sports exclusives by using a US freight forwarder instead of UK resellers

March 08, 2026

Why the Jellycat Amuseable Sports Series is viral right now

As of March 2026, the obsession with the Jellycat Amuseable Sports Series has reached a fever pitch. While the UK gets plenty of adorable plushies, the Amuseable Baseball and Amuseable American Football remain frustratingly locked as US exclusives. Social media collectors in London and Manchester are seeing these items all over their feeds, but finding them in local shops is impossible.

Because these are popular products that sell out fast, the secondary market in the UK is currently charging upwards of £70 for a plush that retails for about $28 (approx £22). By using a freight forwarder, you can bypass those greedy resellers and buy directly from US retailers like Nordstrom, FAO Schwarz, or the official Jellycat US site.

How to buy US-exclusive Jellycats from the UK

The trick to getting these exclusives is simple: you need a tax-free US address. When you shop US store sites, you simply enter your comGateway warehouse address at checkout. This allows you to access the full US inventory that isn't visible or shippable to UK IP addresses.

Once your Amuseable Baseball or Football arrives at the warehouse, you can use an international shipping service to bring it home. This is often the only way to secure limited releases before they hit the "out of stock" wall. If you are curious about the total landed cost, you should check a shipping calculator to see how much you'll save compared to UK boutique prices.

Solving the problem of blocked UK credit cards

One major headache for UK shoppers is that many US-based retailers (especially high-end department stores) will automatically decline orders made with international credit cards or those using a known package forwarding address. It’s a common hurdle that stops many collectors in their tracks.

This is where the BuyForMe service becomes a lifesaver. Instead of fighting with a checkout page that won't accept your UK billing address, comGateway’s team uses a US domestic card to purchase the item for you. This proxy shopping method is the safest way to ensure your order isn't cancelled. You pay comGateway, they buy the Jellycat, and you avoid the stress of regional payment blocks.

Shipping Estimates and Box Dimensions

Plushies are generally easy to ship, but there are a few things to keep in mind regarding international shipping costs. Jellycats are light, but they require a box to keep them from being squashed.

Metric Estimate
Box Weight Approx. 0.8 lbs (0.36 kg) per plush
Box Dimensions Small (Approx. 8" x 6" x 6")
Battery Check None (No lithium batteries)

Volumetric Warning: While a single Baseball plush is light, be aware that if you buy a large bundle, the size of the box might trigger volumetric weight pricing. Always try to consolidate your items to get the best value on FedEx international shipping or DHL international shipping rates.

UK Import Tax and Customs Considerations

When you forward packages to the United Kingdom, you need to be mindful of the import tax. Currently, for goods worth under £135, you usually won't pay Customs Duty, but you will be charged VAT (20%). If you are buying multiple Amuseable Sports items and the total exceeds £135, expect additional fees from HMRC once the parcel hits UK soil.

By managing the purchase yourself through a parcel forwarding service, you still end up saving roughly £45 compared to buying from a UK-based scalper who has already baked those import costs (and a heavy profit margin) into their price.
