More about shipping to New Zealand

Locating consistent stock across the Pacific

Checking US-based retailers is often the only way to find the Sky Dragon without waiting months for a local restock. Large department stores like Nordstrom or Neiman Marcus, along with specialized toy boutiques in the United States, tend to receive more frequent inventory refreshes. Because the US market is significantly larger, these stores can maintain stock levels that smaller New Zealand retailers simply cannot match. To access these stores, many savvy shoppers use a freight forwarder to bridge the geographical gap.

Choosing to shop US store options allows you to browse a wider selection of Jellycat products that rarely reach our shores. By utilizing a tax-free US address provided by a logistics partner, you can also save on state sales taxes before the item even begins its journey to New Zealand.

Using a proxy shopping service to bypass US payment blocks

Dealing with US retailers often presents a frustrating hurdle: payment rejection. Many popular US stores, including giants like Nike, Sephora, or high-end boutiques, frequently block international credit cards or decline orders that use a known forwarding address. This is the primary reason many New Zealand orders for the Jellycat Sky Dragon are cancelled within minutes of checkout.

Utilizing the BuyForMe service solves this problem entirely. Through this proxy shopping or assisted purchase method, comGateway buys the item on your behalf using a US domestic credit card and a local billing address. This method provides the safest way to guarantee your order isn't cancelled, as the transaction appears as a standard domestic purchase to the retailer. If you have questions about how this works, you can always check the FAQ for detailed instructions.

Managing shipping and import duties for your New Zealand delivery

Calculating the total investment for your new collectible is vital before clicking buy. New Zealand customs regulations in 2026 require a clear understanding of import duties and GST/VAT. Generally, items valued under a certain threshold may avoid heavy taxation, but it is always wise to prepare for potential customs tax or a standard import tax if your total shipment value is high.

Using a shipping calculator helps you estimate shipping cost based on the weight and dimensions of the Jellycat dragon. This ensures there are no surprises when the package reaches our border.

Reviewing the essential steps to forward packages safely

Selecting a reliable parcel forwarding service is the final piece of the puzzle. Once your Sky Dragon arrives at the US warehouse, you can choose to forward packages immediately or combine them with other purchases to save on international transit fees. This package forwarding approach is particularly effective for plushies, which are lightweight but often require sturdy packaging to prevent the fur from being crushed.

Trusting comGateway to handle the logistics ensures your collectible is inspected and repacked if necessary. By following these steps, you can bypass the local stock shortages and bring the magic of the Jellycat Sky Dragon to your home in New Zealand without the stress of constant restock watching.
