The 2026 bag charm craze
The Pop Mart "Have a Good Run" series has taken social media by storm this April. Specifically, the Year of the Horse Edition plush pendant has become the must-have accessory for the "bag charm" aesthetic currently dominating fashion circles. These fluffy, high-quality collectibles are designed to dangle from tote bags and backpacks, adding a touch of whimsical personality to any outfit.
While Pop Mart has a global presence, this specific edition remains a US-exclusive release. In France, local resellers are already listing these pendants at nearly double the retail price. By sourcing directly from American retailers, fans can significantly reduce their spending. If you want to keep up with the latest us trends, buying from the source is the only way to avoid the massive markup seen in European secondary markets.
Why France fans struggle with US retailers
The biggest obstacle between you and that adorable horse pendant isn't the distance—it is the digital wall built by many US storefronts. Major retailers and even niche designer toy shops frequently implement strict payment security measures. These stores often block international credit cards or automatically cancel any order that uses a known freight forwarder address at checkout.
For a shopper in France, this is incredibly frustrating. You might see the item in stock, add it to your cart, and enter your details, only to receive a cancellation email minutes later. This happens because the retailer’s system flags the non-US billing address or the commercial nature of the shipping hub, leaving you empty-handed while the stock sells out.
The BuyForMe advantage
If you have faced the disappointment of a cancelled order, comGateway’s BuyForMe service is the solution you need. Instead of risking a manual cancellation by using a French bank card, you can let a professional US-based team handle the transaction for you. This is a form of proxy shopping where we use a US domestic credit card and a local billing address to purchase the item on your behalf.
This service is the safest way to guarantee your order doesn't get caught in a security filter. Whether the store is Pop Mart US, Nike, or Apple, our buy for me team acts as your local boots on the ground. Once the purchase is confirmed, the item is sent to your personal tax-free us address, ready to be prepared for its journey to France.

How it works
Simply provide the URL of the Pop Mart pendant and the quantity you want. We will provide a quote, and once you approve, we do the rest. No more worrying about regional payment blocks or "address not found" errors.
Shipping your plush to France
Once your Year of the Horse pendant arrives at our warehouse, you can choose the best international shipping service to get it to your doorstep in Paris, Lyon, or anywhere else in France. Because these plush pendants are lightweight, they are perfect for consolidating with other US purchases to save even more on logistics costs.
Before you commit to a purchase, it is wise to use our shipping calculator to get an accurate idea of the total cost. You can choose between premium carriers like DHL international shipping for speed or FedEx international shipping for a balance of reliability and price. Using a reliable package forwarding partner ensures your collectible is handled with care and arrives in pristine condition.
Taxes and restricted goods
When importing goods into France from outside the European Union, you must account for import tax. In 2026, the standard VAT rate in France applies to most imported collectibles. Being aware of these costs upfront prevents any surprises when your package clears customs. Our system helps simplify this process by providing the necessary documentation for a smooth transit.
Additionally, always ensure your items are not on the prohibited items list. While plush toys are generally safe to ship, some limited-edition sets might include restricted materials like certain electronics or liquids if they are part of a larger bundle. Checking the shipping rules beforehand keeps your international shipping experience stress-free. By following these steps, you can secure your Pop Mart plush and stay ahead of the trend curve without the local price hike.
