Why I save money by ordering Skims from the US to Belgium

Why the Skims square neck bodysuit is taking over my feed

I have spent far too much time lately looking for the perfect base layer. The Skims Fits Everybody Square Neck Bodysuit has been all over my social media, and honestly, I finally understand why. The fabric is incredibly stretchy but still holds everything in place perfectly. However, when I looked at the prices at local European boutiques or the Italian site, I realized we were paying a significant premium compared to what our friends in the United States pay.

Submit Order

In 2026, the trend has only grown. The US store frequently drops exclusive colors and "Value Packs" that simply aren't available to us here in Belgium. By ordering from the US, I managed to get a three-pack for nearly the same price as two individual pieces bought locally. It made me realize that even with international shipping, the math works out in our favor if we shop smart.

My secret to getting US value packs from Belgium

Since the US site often restricts shipping on certain limited drops, I rely on comGateway to handle my orders. They provide me with a tax-free US address in Oregon, which means I don't pay any US sales tax on my Skims purchase. This tiny detail saves me an extra 7% to 10% right off the bat.

Using a freight forwarder is the only way I've found to access the full US catalog. When you visit the US site from a Belgian IP address, they sometimes redirect you or hide the best deals. By using my US address, I can see every exclusive color drop. If you are curious about the process, I recommend reading their step-by-step guide to see how easy it is to set up.

Shipping estimates for your Skims haul

Before I buy anything, I always check the shipping calculator to make sure the total cost makes sense. Here is what I have found based on my recent orders for the Skims Fits Everybody Square Neck Bodysuit:

Weight and battery considerations

One of the best things about shipping clothes is that they aren't bulky. I usually don't have to worry about a Volumetric Warning because the bodysuits are light and can be folded flat. Unlike a large plush toy or a pillow, the actual weight and the volumetric weight are almost the same for clothing. This keeps the international shipping costs quite low.

Also, since these are simple garments, there is no battery check required. There are no lithium batteries or electronic components to worry about, which means we avoid those extra "dangerous goods" handling fees that sometimes pop up with tech gadgets.

How I bypass store cancellations with BuyForMe

I have had a few frustrating experiences where US stores like Nike or even the main Skims shop occasionally decline my Belgian credit card. Some stores are very strict and will only allow purchases made with a card issued in the United States. They might even cancel the order if they see it is going to a parcel forwarding service.

This is where I use the BuyForMe service. It is a form of proxy shopping where comGateway actually buys the item on my behalf using their own US domestic payment method. I just send them the link to the bodysuit I want, and they handle the checkout. This is the safest way to guarantee my order doesn't get cancelled by a picky retailer. It saves me the headache of wondering why my transaction was flagged, and it is a lifesaver for those high-demand color drops that sell out in minutes.

What I learned about Belgian import tax in 2026

When the package arrives in Belgium, we do have to account for import tax and VAT. My experience has been that even after paying the duties, the US Value Packs are still a better deal than the local retail prices here. I always keep my receipts handy in case the freight forwarder or customs needs to verify the value. If you have specific questions about how much you might owe, the FAQ on the support page has some great info on customs documentation.

I usually choose FedEx international shipping because they handle the customs clearance process very efficiently for my deliveries in Brussels. It makes the whole experience feel like I'm just ordering from a shop down the street, rather than from across the Atlantic. If you want a balance of speed and cost, I have found that DHL international shipping is another reliable choice for Belgian shoppers who want their fashion hauls delivered quickly.
