I found the easiest way to get the US-only Anker MagGo Qi2 power bank to Belgium using a freight forwarder
The 2026 Anker MagGo Hype
I have been waiting for the 2026 refresh of Anker’s Qi2 lineup since the rumors started earlier this year. The Anker MagGo Power Bank (Qi2, 10K, 2026 Ultra-Slim Edition) just dropped in the US, and it is a massive step up from the previous bulky models. Unfortunately, like most cool tech, it has not hit the shelves in Brussels or Antwerp yet. I did not want to wait months for a local release, so I decided to source it directly from a US store.
Why this version is different
The standout feature for me is the new ultra-slim profile. While previous 10,000mAh packs felt like carrying a brick, this 2026 edition fits comfortably behind my phone without blocking the camera or weighing down my pocket. It uses the latest Qi2 standard, which means I get a full 15W wireless charging speed—twice as fast as standard MagSafe-compatible chargers that are capped at 7.5W on many non-Apple devices. Since it is currently only available in the US market, I had to find a reliable freight forwarder to handle the logistics for me.
The struggle of US exclusivity
I noticed that the US version also features an improved thermal management system that we likely won't see in the European variants for another six months. To get ahead of the curve, I simply used a tax-free us address provided by comGateway, which allowed me to shop us store sites just like a local would.
Getting it to Belgium
If you have never done this before, it is actually quite simple. I followed this step-by-step guide on how it works. Once I signed up, I was given a personal US address. I placed my order on a US electronics site, shipped it to that address, and comGateway notified me the moment it arrived.
The best part is that you can estimate shipping cost before you even commit to the purchase. I used their shipping calculator to see if the total price (including the power bank and the delivery) was still cheaper than waiting for the marked-up European retail price. It turns out, I actually saved about 15 Euros.
The Lazy Method: comGateway BuyForMe
I ran into a small hiccup when I tried to buy from a specific US retailer that has a habit of blocking international credit cards. It is a common headache—stores like Apple, Sephora, or certain tech outlets often decline orders if the billing address isn't in the US. This is where I switched to what I call the "lazy method."
I used the BuyForMe service. Basically, I told comGateway what I wanted, and they bought it on my behalf using a US domestic card. If you are worried about your order being cancelled by a picky store, proxy shopping through this assisted purchase program is the safest way to guarantee your gear actually gets shipped. It took all the paperwork and stress out of my hands.
Shipping and Customs for Belgium
When it comes to international shipping, I usually worry about how long it takes to clear customs in Belgium. However, the process was pretty smooth this time. I checked the international shipping rates beforehand to choose between DHL international shipping and FedEx international shipping.
| Carrier | Speed to Belgium | Reliability |
|---|---|---|
| DHL Express | 3-5 Business Days | Excellent |
| FedEx Priority | 2-4 Business Days | Very High |
I opted for a slightly faster speed because I was impatient to try out the Qi2 charging. Regarding the import tax, remember that Belgium applies VAT on items coming from outside the EU. I made sure to include these shipping fees in my total budget. Even with the tax, having the 2026 Ultra-Slim edition months before my friends in Brussels was worth every cent. It is the most convenient way to keep my devices powered without the bulk of older technology.
