Saving €140 on the Nintendo Switch 2 by grabbing it from US retailers while NL stock is still a mess

Why the Nintendo Switch 2 is the 2026 must-have

It is February 2026, and the hype around the Nintendo Switch 2 (Standard Edition) has not slowed down one bit since its global launch. While the console is technically available worldwide, anyone living in the Netherlands knows the struggle. Local tech shops are either sold out within seconds or are bundling the console with games nobody wants for an inflated price. Meanwhile, across the Atlantic, US retailers like Best Buy and Target have started seeing much more consistent stock levels.

If you have been keeping an eye on us trends, you will notice that the Standard Edition is the sweet spot for most gamers. It offers the full next-gen portable experience without the extra cost of the Pro bundles. Getting one from the US is currently the most reliable path for those of us in Europe who do not want to wait until mid-2026 for a decent local restock.

Saving €140 by shopping at US retailers

Let’s look at the numbers because that is where this strategy really shines. In the Netherlands, between the limited supply and high demand, you are often looking at a total cost of around €550 to €600 if you buy from smaller specialized retailers or resellers. However, the US retail price is significantly lower. Even after you factor in shipping and the Dutch BTW (VAT), you can end up saving roughly €140 compared to local marketplace prices.

To make this happen, you need a freight forwarder. By using a service like comGateway, you get a tax-free us address to use at checkout. This means you do not pay US sales tax, which usually adds another 7-10% to the price. It is a simple trick that makes the cross-border purchase much more attractive.

The stress-free way to deal with US store blocks

Here is the part where most people get stuck. You find the Nintendo Switch 2 in stock at Target or Best Buy, you add it to your cart, but then the transaction fails. Why? Because many big US stores like Target, Nike, and Sephora are notorious for blocking international credit cards or automatically cancelling orders that use a known parcel forwarding service address.

This is where the BuyForMe service becomes a lifesaver. Instead of you struggling with a declined card, comGateway handles the purchase for you. They use a US domestic payment method and their own purchasing channels to buy the item on your behalf.

This is the safest way to guarantee your order doesn't get cancelled at the last second. You just tell them what you want, and they handle the checkout. It takes all the paperwork and frustration out of the process, which is perfect if you prefer the lazy method of shopping online. No more fighting with payment gateways or worrying about your order being flagged as "suspicious" just because you have a Dutch billing address.

Getting your console to the Netherlands

Once your Switch 2 arrives at your US address, you can choose how fast you want it delivered to your door in the Netherlands. This international shipping service gives you a few options depending on your budget. If you are anxious to start playing the new Mario title, you can opt for express shipping which usually takes 3-5 business days.

If you want to see exactly what you will be paying, you should use the shipping calculator to estimate shipping cost based on the console's weight. For a step-by-step guide on how the whole process flows, you can check out the how it works page on their site. It is surprisingly simple once you see the workflow laid out.

What to know about Dutch import taxes

When you shop us ship international, you have to account for the Dutch customs. For electronics like a gaming console, you will mainly be looking at the 21% BTW (VAT). Because you saved so much on the base retail price and avoided US sales tax, even with the BTW and shipping fees, you are still coming out ahead by a significant margin.

If you have specific questions about how packages are processed or what happens if a shipment is delayed, the FAQ section is a great resource. They cover most of the common concerns gamers have when importing high-value tech. Most of the time, the courier (like DHL or FedEx) will handle the customs clearance for you and send you a link to pay the VAT online before delivery. It is very hands-off and fits perfectly into the lazy method of getting your gear.

By the time your friends are still refreshing local store pages hoping for a drop, you will already be halfway through your first playthrough, all while having saved enough money to buy two or three extra games for your new system.
