Save $45 on the Jellycat Valentine's 2026 Love Letter collection by ordering from the US to Singapore

February 08, 2026

The TikTok hype around the 2026 Love Letter

If you have been scrolling through TikTok lately, you have probably seen the adorable Jellycat Valentine's 2026 Love Letter plushies. They are part of the new seasonal drop that has collectors in a frenzy. These little letters, featuring the iconic Jellycat smile and tiny embroidered details, have become the must-have gift for February 2026. However, if you are living in Singapore, you already know the struggle. Local retailers are either out of stock within minutes or simply didn't receive the full range of the 2026 collection.

While the hype is real in Southeast Asia, the availability in major US department stores like Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus, and Bloomingdale's is much more consistent. These stores are known for frequent restocks, making them the best place to hunt for these viral plushies. If you're keeping an eye on other us trends, you'll notice that many of these seasonal collectibles hit the US market with much higher stock volumes than we see locally.

Price comparison: US Retail vs Singapore Resellers

One of the biggest hurdles for Singaporean collectors is the markup from local resellers. On platforms like Carousell, we are seeing the 2026 Love Letter being listed for nearly double its original price. Let's look at the actual math to see if it is worth sourcing it yourself from across the ocean.

Item SG Reseller Price (Est.) US Retail Price (Est.) Potential Savings
Jellycat Love Letter 2026 $115.00 SGD $45.00 USD (~$61.00 SGD) $54.00 SGD
Jellycat Amuseable Heart $85.00 SGD $35.00 USD (~$47.00 SGD) $38.00 SGD

Why shipping from the US makes sense for your wallet

Even when you factor in the cost of shipping, the "Smart Shopper" math usually favors the US route. When you use a tax-free us address provided by a service like comGateway, you are already saving about 6% to 10% on US sales tax that you would otherwise pay if shipping to a friend's house in a state like California or New York. By consolidating a few items into one package, the shipping cost per item drops significantly, allowing you to save roughly $45 to $55 compared to buying from local scalpers.

How to buy from US stores that reject international cards

So, you have found the Love Letter in stock at a US store, but there is a catch. Many of the top US retailers—think Nike, Sephora, or even some high-end department stores—are notorious for cancelling orders that use international credit cards or are addressed to known package forwarders. It is incredibly frustrating to see a "Transaction Declined" or "Order Cancelled" email just minutes after you thought you secured your 2026 Valentine's haul.

Using the BuyForMe service to bypass order cancellations

This is where the BuyForMe service becomes your best friend. Instead of risking a cancellation, you can use comGateway's proxy shopping feature. You simply tell them what you want to buy, and they will use a US domestic credit card and a residential-style billing address to make the purchase on your behalf. This is the safest way to guarantee your order goes through without being flagged by the store's security filters. If you have ever been blocked by a US site before, this proxy shopping method is the most reliable workaround available in 2026.

Getting your 2026 Valentine's Jellycats to Singapore

Once your items reach the warehouse, the next step is getting them to your doorstep in Singapore. The process is straightforward, but you should always be aware of the current logistics landscape. Since these plushies are lightweight, they are perfect for international shipping because they don't add much to the volumetric weight of your parcel.

When your package arrives at your US address, you will be notified and asked to choose your shipping method. This is the part where you can decide how fast you want your 2026 Valentine's gift to arrive. Most collectors prefer express options to ensure the plushies arrive well before February 14th. This is the most efficient way to manage your ship to Singapore delivery without dealing with the uncertainty of standard postal services.

Calculating your shipping and import costs

Before you commit to the purchase, it is always a good idea to do a quick check on the total costs. You can use the shipping calculator to get a realistic estimate of what you will pay for freight. Remember that in Singapore, GST applies to all imported goods regardless of the value (as per the current 2026 regulations). By knowing the shipping weight of a standard Jellycat (usually less than 0.5kg), you can accurately predict your total landing cost. Most people find that even with GST and shipping, they are still paying significantly less than the inflated prices found locally.

Final tips for a smooth shopping experience

To make sure you get your hands on the Love Letter collection before it disappears again, keep these tips in mind:

  • Create your account early: Don't wait until the item is in your cart to sign up for a freight forwarder account. Have your US address ready to go.
  • Check the restock times: US stores often restock in the early morning (US time), which is late evening or night in Singapore.
  • Bundle your orders: If you are buying the Love Letter, see if there are other 2026 Valentine's items you want. Shipping three plushies isn't much more expensive than shipping one.
  • Read the help docs: If you are unsure about how the assisted purchase works, the FAQ section has a wealth of information on everything from restricted items to insurance.

By following this strategy, you can avoid the frustration of local stockouts and the high prices of resellers. Shopping directly from the US is a tried-and-tested method for Singaporean collectors to stay ahead of the curve and keep their hobby affordable in 2026.
