In Spain, the demand for these fleeces often outstrips local supply. Fashion enthusiasts in Madrid and Barcelona are finding that local boutiques and European distributors carry only a fraction of the collection. This scarcity has led many to look toward the source: the United States stores.

Why the best prints never reach Spain

It is a common frustration for international shoppers. The US Free People storefront frequently stocks dozens of exclusive prints that never see a European release. When they do appear on Spanish sites, the price markup is significant. By the time you account for local retail margins, you could be paying upwards of €210 for a fleece that retails for $168 in the US.

Save €55 on your purchase by shopping directly from US retailers and using a freight forwarder to bridge the gap. Not only do you get a better price, but you also gain access to the full 2026 print catalog that local stockists simply don't have. To get started, you will need a tax-free us address which allows you to receive packages at a warehouse in a state like Oregon, where no sales tax is applied.

Bypassing payment hurdles with BuyForMe

One of the most common obstacles when shopping at major US retailers like Free People, Nike, or Sephora is the strict payment gateway. Many US stores often block international credit cards or automatically decline orders that are being sent to known package forwarding addresses. This can make the dream of owning that limited-edition 'Hit The Slopes' print feel impossible.

This is where the comGateway "BuyForMe" service becomes essential. Instead of risking a cancelled order, you can use this assisted purchase service. The process is simple: you tell us what you want to buy, and we use a US domestic credit card to purchase the item on your behalf. This is the safest way to guarantee your order goes through without a hitch. It eliminates the frustration of regional payment blocks and ensures that your fashion finds are secured before they sell out.

Shipping from the US to Spain

Once your fleece arrives at your US warehouse, you have full control over the next steps. If you are worried about the cost of Spain delivery, you can use the shipping calculator to get an instant estimate of the costs involved. Generally, shipping a single fleece is lightweight and affordable, but the real savings happen when you combine multiple items.

If you are eyeing other US-exclusive brands, you can forward packages from different stores to your Oregon address. We can then consolidate them into a single box, which significantly reduces the international shipping rate per item compared to sending them individually.

Customs and Importation in Spain

When you buy from US ship to Spain, it is important to remember that items entering the EU are subject to VAT and potentially customs duties. However, even with these costs factored in, the total price for a US-exclusive fleece is often still lower than the inflated prices found in high-end Spanish boutiques, especially when you consider the value of owning a print that no one else in your city can find.
