Why am I seeing such a huge price gap for the Free People FP Movement Quilted Carryall Bag on US websites?

My obsession with the Free People Quilted Carryall Bag

I have been seeing the Free People FP Movement Quilted Carryall Bag everywhere on my social media feeds lately. In early 2026, it seems like everyone in the UK and the US is carrying this specific bag. It has a unique, unstructured aesthetic that looks perfectly slouchy but somehow fits everything I need for a full day out. When I checked the local availability here in China, I was disappointed by the limited color selection and the significantly higher price tag compared to what I saw on American fashion blogs.

More about shipping to China

I always keep an eye on us trends to see which items are worth the extra effort to import. This bag is definitely one of them. While retailers in other regions might only carry three or four standard colors, the US Free People site currently boasts over 15 exclusive shades, ranging from vibrant neons to earthy pastels that just aren't available anywhere else.

The massive price gap I found on the US site

When I compared the MSRP, I was shocked. The price for the Free People FP Movement Quilted Carryall Bag on the US website is much lower than what I found at UK-based retailers or through local resellers in China. Even with the cost of international delivery, the savings were too large to ignore. I realized that if I wanted to get the best deal and the most color options, I needed to shop us store directly.

How I ship my US finds to China

Since Free People doesn't always offer direct, affordable shipping to China that includes all the logistics support I prefer, I rely on a package forwarding service. I have found that using a dedicated provider is the most reliable way to get my items safely. By using a tax-free us address provided by comGateway, I avoid US sales tax at checkout, which adds even more to my savings.

To make sure the total cost makes sense, I always use a estimate shipping cost tool before I hit the buy button. It helps me understand the weight-based fees so there are no surprises when my bag arrives at the warehouse.

Solving the problem of blocked international credit cards

One major hurdle I encountered when shopping at certain US stores like Nike, Sephora, or even some high-end boutiques is that they often block international credit cards. It is incredibly frustrating to find the perfect item, only to have my order cancelled because my payment method or my shipping address was flagged. Many US retailers are programmed to decline orders that are sent to known forwarders or those using non-US billing addresses.

I found a solution for this through comGateway's "BuyForMe" service. Instead of me trying to force my payment through, I simply tell them what I want to buy. They use a US domestic credit card to purchase the item on my behalf. This is the safest way to guarantee my order doesn't get cancelled by the store's security filters. For anyone in China trying to buy from stores that are notoriously difficult with international payments, this service is a lifesaver.

What I learned about customs tax and duties

Shipping internationally means I have to be aware of the local regulations in China. I spent some time reading about customs tax to understand how my package would be processed. Depending on the total value of the shipment, I might be responsible for certain import duties upon the bag's arrival.

We found that keeping the total shipment value within certain limits can sometimes simplify the process. However, even with these potential extra costs, the price of the Free People FP Movement Quilted Carryall Bag from the US remains a better deal than buying it locally. My experience has shown that being prepared with the right information makes the whole process of international shopping much smoother.
