The reality of shipping the 2026 Jellycat NYC exclusives to Australia

Why everyone wants the bagel

The 2026 City Series has sparked a massive wave of interest among collectors. Specifically, the Jellycat "New York City" Series - Bagel & Coffee Set has become the must-have item of the year. While these are regional exclusives meant for the US market, the global community in places like Hong Kong and Australia has been scrambling to find ways to import them. The set features a plush bagel with a cream cheese smile and a classic to-go coffee cup that perfectly captures the NYC aesthetic.

Just a moment, securing your connection...

It is not just about the cute faces; it is about the scarcity. Since these are not officially sold in Australian boutiques, they have become a status symbol in the local plushie community. If you want to keep up with the latest popular products from overseas, this set is currently at the top of the list.

Shipping myths for Australians

There is a common assumption among Aussie collectors that shipping small items from the US is a waste of money because of the "Australia Tax" or high courier fees. People often think that a single plush toy will cost $100 just to fly across the Pacific. That is not actually how it works if you use a freight forwarder.

The secret is using a tax-free us address. Most US retailers charge sales tax based on the delivery zip code. By using a service like comGateway, you can shop at US stores and ship to a warehouse in a tax-free state like Oregon. This immediately saves you around 6-10% on the purchase price, which helps offset the international postage.

Shipping estimates breakdown

To help you plan your budget, here is a realistic look at what it takes to get this specific set from a US warehouse to your door in Sydney, Melbourne, or Perth. You can always use a shipping calculator for a more precise quote based on your exact suburb.

A quick note on volumetric weight: Even though a Jellycat is very light, shipping companies calculate costs based on the size of the box. If the box is much larger than the bagel and coffee set, you might pay more. It is usually smarter to bundle your Jellycat with other us trends items to make the most of the base shipping rate.

How to buy from US stores

Many US retailers like FAO Schwarz or the official Jellycat US site do not ship directly to Australia, or if they do, the rates are astronomical. This is where international shipping services become essential.

First, you sign up for a US-based address. When you check out at the US store, you enter that address as your shipping destination. Once the Bagel & Coffee set arrives at the warehouse, you will be notified. From there, you can choose your preferred international shipping service to have it sent to Australia. This method often gives you access to better tracking and faster delivery times than standard postal services.

Australian customs and GST

One thing to keep in mind is how the Australian government handles imports. For most items under $1,000 AUD, you will typically just pay the 10% GST. Some forwarders collect this at the time of shipping to speed up the process through customs. If you are worried about extra costs, check out this guide on import duties to see how GST is applied to your specific order. Generally, for a single Jellycat set, the import tax will be minimal, making it a very affordable way to get a US exclusive in 2026.

By understanding the logistics, you can stop worrying about the distance and focus on growing your collection. The Bagel & Coffee set is a great piece of the NYC series, and with the right parcel forwarding service, it will be sitting on your shelf in Australia before you know it.
