Saving 500 RMB on the Jellycat Sky Dragon by beating the US store payment wall

Why is everyone obsessed with the Jellycat Sky Dragon?

It is February 2026, and the craze for the Jellycat Sky Dragon has not slowed down a bit. This specific plush has become the crown jewel for collectors, especially across Australia and Asia. While it sells out in seconds in local boutiques, it remains a staple of us trends because American department stores like Nordstrom and specialized toy boutiques tend to get more consistent restocks.

More about shipping to China

For those of us in China, the problem isn't just the stock; it is the price. Local resellers are charging astronomical fees. By sourcing directly from the US, you can easily save 500 RMB or more, even after accounting for shipping costs.

Finding stock in the USA when China is sold out

If you have been refreshing local pages with no luck, it is time to shop us store sites. Retailers like Neiman Marcus and FAO Schwarz often have these in stock when China-based shops are bone dry. To get these items home, you will need a reliable parcel forwarding service. Using a tax-free us address provided by comGateway allows you to avoid US sales tax, which adds up when you are buying high-end collectibles.

Shipping Estimates to China

Before you hit the buy button, you need to know what the international shipping costs will look like. Since the Sky Dragon is a plush toy, it is relatively light, but it can be bulky depending on the packaging.

Volumetric Warning: Even though the plush is light, if the retailer puts it in a massive box filled with air pillows, your shipping cost might be calculated based on the box size rather than its weight. I highly recommend using the shipping calculator to get a clear picture before you ship.

The Hidden Barrier: US store payment blocks

Here is the part where most shoppers in China get stuck. You find the Sky Dragon, you add it to your cart, you enter your freight forwarder address, and then... Transaction Declined.

Many major US retailers like Nike, Sephora, and even some high-end toy boutiques have strict security filters. They often block international credit cards or orders that use a known freight forwarder address. This is the invisible wall that prevents most people from getting the best deals.

How BuyForMe solves the problem

If you are tired of your orders being cancelled, the BuyForMe service is your best friend. Instead of you struggling with a Chinese credit card, comGateway acts as your proxy shopping partner. They use a US domestic credit card to purchase the item for you. This virtually guarantees that the store will accept the order.

By using the BuyForMe service, you skip the headache of payment errors and ensure your Sky Dragon is secured before it sells out again. It is the safest way to buy from US ship to China without the risk of a sudden cancellation.

Calculating your import tax and total savings

When you ship to China, you should always keep the import tax in mind. For toys and collectibles, the rates can vary, but because you are saving so much on the base price by avoiding local resellers, you still come out ahead. If you use FedEx international shipping or DHL international shipping, the customs clearance is usually handled quickly, getting your dragon to your door in China delivery timeframes of about 5-8 business days.

So, if the dragon costs $60 USD in the States and you pay $25 for shipping, your total is roughly 615 RMB. Compared to the 1,100+ RMB prices seen on some secondary markets in China, you are effectively saving 500 RMB. Just make sure to use comGateway to consolidate your packages if you are buying other items, as this can further reduce your costs.
