Why paying $49 for the Flipper Zero Video Game Module in the US beats the €120 local price

The Logic Behind the Video Game Module Hype

If you have been hanging around the Flipper community lately, you know that the Video Game Module is basically the holy grail of expansions right now. It is not just about playing games; it is about the Raspberry Pi RP2040 chip inside that adds a massive amount of processing power to your Flipper Zero. In 2026, hobbyists are using it for everything from motion-sensing applications to complex signal processing that the base Flipper cannot handle alone. Because it is constantly out of stock in Europe, the recent replenishment in the US store has everyone looking across the Atlantic.

Securing Your Module from the US Store

The math is pretty simple. Local resellers in the Netherlands often list these for €120 or more due to scarcity. However, the official US store sells them for $49. Even with international transport, you are looking at a saving of roughly $40 to $50. The challenge is that the US store typically only ships within North America. This is where using a freight forwarder becomes the smartest move for your wallet. By using a tax-free us address, you avoid US sales tax and get the item sent to a warehouse that can then forward packages directly to your door in Amsterdam or Rotterdam.

If you find that the US store does not accept your Dutch credit card, you can use the BuyForMe service. This assisted purchase option means someone in the US buys the item for you, so you never have to worry about regional payment blocks.

Shipping Estimates and Logistics Data

To help you figure out the total cost, here is the data you need for your shipping calculator. These figures are based on the standard 2026 retail packaging for the Flipper Zero Video Game Module.

Using these numbers, you can easily estimate shipping cost before you commit to the purchase. It is one of the most popular us trends for techies right now because the shipping is so affordable due to the small form factor.

How the Freight Forwarding Process Works

For those new to the scene, here is a quick step-by-step guide on how to bridge the gap between the US and the Netherlands. First, you sign up with comGateway to get your personal US suite address. You then shop us store sites just like a local would. Once the package arrives at the warehouse, you will be notified and can choose your preferred delivery speed. This how it works flow ensures that you are in control of the timing and the cost.

Importing to the Netherlands and VAT

When the module arrives in the Netherlands, you will need to account for import duties and VAT (BTW). Since the value is around $49, it falls under the typical threshold where duties might be minimal, but you will still owe the 21% VAT. Even after adding the €10-€15 for VAT and the small shipping fee, the total is still significantly lower than the €120 local scalper price. Keeping an eye on customs tax regulations is always a good idea to ensure there are no surprises when PostNL or DHL knocks on your door.

By following this logic, you are essentially getting the latest 2026 hardware for a fair price while others are stuck waiting for European restocks that might not happen for months. It is the most efficient way to keep your hobby going without overspending on local markups.
