Save €75 on the viral palm-sized mini projector by skipping French retail stores

The Cozycore Aesthetic and the 2026 Projector Craze

Social media feeds from Paris to Marseille are currently dominated by the 'Cozycore' bedroom aesthetic. This design movement focuses on creating a sanctuary-like atmosphere, and the star of the show is the palm-sized portable mini projector. These tiny devices are being used to create 'fake window' projections, turning a blank wall into a rainy window in London or a sunset in Santorini.

More about shipping to France

While local electronics shops in France offer basic models, tech enthusiasts have noticed that the 1080p versions available in the United States offer significantly higher lumen counts and better color accuracy. In 2026, the demand for these high-spec US models has surged as French shoppers look for professional-grade visuals in a portable form factor.

Price Comparison: Why US Models Cost €75 Less

When you look at the math, buying from a US store is often the smarter financial move. A high-quality 1080p mini projector with 500 ANSI lumens typically retails for approximately €180 in French specialty boutiques. However, the same or better specifications can be found on US platforms for around $90 USD (approximately €83).

Even after factoring in international delivery, the total cost often lands near €105. This means you could save €75 on a single purchase simply by choosing to shop US store platforms rather than settling for local retail markups. To get a precise idea of the total landed cost, you can use a shipping calculator to compare different delivery speeds.

Getting Your Projector to France with comGateway

Since many US retailers do not offer direct shipping to Europe, using a freight forwarder is the most efficient way to bridge the gap. By signing up, you receive a tax-free US address located in Oregon, which eliminates US sales tax on your purchase, further increasing your savings.

Once your palm-sized projector arrives at the warehouse, you can select from various international shipping rates based on how quickly you want your 'fake window' setup to be ready. This method is the most reliable way to buy from US ship to France without dealing with the limitations of standard retail shipping.

Overcoming Order Cancellations with BuyForMe

A common hurdle for shoppers in France is that major US retailers like Apple, Best Buy, or boutique tech brands often block international credit cards. You might find the perfect projector only to have your order cancelled because your billing address is in France or because you are using a known forwarding address. This is a frustrating barrier for those trying to access the latest 2026 tech.

The BuyForMe service (also known as assisted purchase) provides a seamless solution. With this service, the comGateway team buys the item on your behalf using a US domestic credit card. This guarantees that your order is accepted and processed just like a local purchase. If you have struggled with proxy shopping in the past, this is the safest way to ensure your tech actually leaves the warehouse.

Handling French Customs and Shipping Rules

Before finalizing your order, it is important to understand the local regulations for importing electronics. France has specific VAT requirements for items coming from outside the EU. You should also check the list of prohibited items to ensure that the specific battery type in your portable projector is allowed for air travel. Most modern mini projectors use standard lithium-ion batteries that are perfectly fine for France delivery, but verifying shipping rules beforehand prevents any delays.
