Just a moment, securing your connection...

However, there is a catch. While the laptop is technically available globally, the highly coveted 'DIY Edition' kits are vanishing from European distribution centers faster than a bike in a canal. This has left many enthusiasts looking across the Atlantic to secure their hardware. Using a freight forwarder has become the standard procedure for those who refuse to wait for the next local restock cycle.

Why the US store is the place to be

The price gap between the US and the European market is hard to ignore. Even with current exchange rates in 2026, the base price in USD often translates to a significant saving compared to the Euro-denominated price tags found in local tech hubs. Furthermore, the US store carries the full inventory of Expansion Cards and localized keyboard layouts that often go out of stock in regional warehouses.

To access these deals, you need a tax-free US address. By shipping your laptop to a warehouse in Oregon, you avoid US sales tax entirely, keeping your initial costs as low as possible before the transit to Europe begins. Check out our guide on international shipping rates to see how the transit costs compare to the savings you gain by shopping at the source.

The BuyForMe solution for Dutch techies

Ordering high-end electronics from major US retailers can sometimes feel like a game of chance. Many popular stores, including tech giants and brands like Nike, Sephora, or Apple, frequently block international credit cards or automatically decline orders that are being sent to a known package forwarding address. This can be incredibly frustrating when you are trying to snag a limited-edition Framework kit.

This is where the BuyForMe service becomes essential. Instead of risking a cancelled order, you can use this proxy shopping feature where comGateway purchases the item on your behalf using a US domestic payment card. This is the safest way to guarantee your order is accepted and processed without the typical headaches associated with cross-border payments. It effectively removes the digital borders that prevent you from getting the gear you want.

Shipping logistics to the Netherlands

Once your Framework Laptop 13 arrives at your US address, the next step is getting it to your doorstep in the Netherlands. Reliability is key when you are shipping a device worth over a thousand euros. Most users prefer a parcel forwarding service that offers premium couriers. Generally, FedEx international shipping or DHL international shipping provide the best balance of speed and security for high-value electronics.

You can use a shipping calculator to get a clear picture of the costs involved. Since the Framework 13 is relatively lightweight, the volumetric weight is low, which helps keep the international shipping fees manageable. Most packages arriving via Schiphol are processed quickly, especially if you have your documentation in order.

Import taxes and Dutch customs

It is a fact that you will need to account for import tax and VAT when the laptop enters the Netherlands. The current VAT rate of 21% is calculated on the value of the laptop plus the shipping costs. While this adds to the total, the initial price difference between the US and EU often makes the total cost comparable or even cheaper than buying locally—assuming you could even find it in stock locally.

If you have questions about how these fees are collected or how to handle the customs paperwork, the FAQ section on our support page offers detailed guidance on the process. Understanding the international shipping landscape ensures there are no surprises when the delivery driver arrives at your door.

The Framework Laptop 13 (Intel Core Ultra Series 2) represents a major leap in repairable computing. By sourcing it directly from the United States, you bypass local stock shortages and ensure you are getting the exact configuration you need for your 2026 tech setup.
