Why I used international shipping to get the Logitech MX Master 4 from the US early

The excitement surrounding the MX Master 4 release

I have been using the MX Master 3S for years, but as soon as the Logitech MX Master 4 dropped yesterday on April 14, 2026, I knew I couldn't wait for the local German stock to arrive. The new sensor and the haptic feedback features are already making waves in tech communities from Taiwan to Berlin. While local retailers here often take weeks or months to list new releases, I wanted mine on my desk immediately.

Why I chose to shop from US stores

My experience has shown that US retailers like Amazon or Best Buy are usually the first to have stock. More importantly, even with the costs of international shipping, the price difference often works in my favor because of the competitive US market. I decided that instead of refreshing German tech sites, I would simply shop us store directly and use a middleman to handle the logistics.

Setting up my US address with comGateway

To make this happen, I needed a US presence. I signed up for a tax-free us address which allows me to avoid US sales tax at checkout. This is a massive win because it offsets a good chunk of the shipping fees later on. Using a freight forwarder like comGateway provides a secure location for my tech gear to land before it starts its journey to Europe.

The fix for stores that block German credit cards

One major headache I ran into in the past was my German credit card being declined. Many big US brands like Apple, Nike, or Sephora are notorious for blocking international billing addresses or canceling orders sent to known shipping hubs. This is where I found a workaround that actually works.

I used the comGateway "BuyForMe" service, which is essentially a proxy shopping solution. Instead of me struggling with a payment gateway that doesn't like my local card, I tell them what I want, and they buy it on my behalf using a US domestic card. It is the safest way to ensure my order doesn't get flagged or cancelled by picky retailers. If you have ever had an order mysteriously disappear after checkout, this service is exactly what you need.

Getting my mouse to Germany safely

Once the MX Master 4 arrived at my US suite, I had to decide how to get it home. I used the shipping calculator to compare rates between carriers. For small electronics, I usually prefer FedEx international shipping because of their reliability, though DHL international shipping is often just as fast for German deliveries.

I also made sure to check the prohibited items list before I bought anything extra, like cleaning sprays for my keyboard. You don't want your whole package held up because of a small bottle of restricted liquid.

What I paid for import tax and fees

When you bring electronics into Germany, you have to account for import tax and the standard VAT (Einfuhrumsatzsteuer). I always suggest being honest on the customs declaration. I checked the FAQ on the comGateway site to see how they handle the paperwork. Generally, for a mouse like the MX Master 4, the process is straightforward, but it is good to have your invoice ready for the German customs office just in case they ask.

My verdict on the process

Is it more work than going to a local store? A little. But I have my MX Master 4 today, while my colleagues are still waiting for a "pre-order" button to appear on local German sites. By using a package forwarding service and the BuyForMe option, I avoided all the usual regional blocks and payment issues. If you are a productivity nerd like me, this is the most reliable path to getting the best gear the moment it launches in 2026.
