Securing US exclusives from France

Buying directly from American retailers like New Balance US, Kith, or Bodega is the most reliable way to find your size before the resellers hike up the prices. However, most of these shops don't offer direct international shipping. Using a freight forwarder is the easiest way to bridge the gap. When you sign up, you get a tax-free us address based in Oregon. This means you won't pay any US sales tax at the checkout, saving you about 7-10% right off the bat. If you are new to this, checking out a step-by-step guide will show you just how simple it is to shop like a US local.

Solving credit card blocks with BuyForMe

One of the biggest headaches when trying to shop us store sites from France is the dreaded payment cancellation. Many premium US retailers have strict security filters that automatically decline orders made with international credit cards or those using a billing address outside the United States. This is where the BuyForMe service becomes your best friend. Instead of wrestling with a checkout page that won't accept your French bank card, you simply tell comGateway what you want. They will use a US-based domestic card to purchase the New Balance 990v6 on your behalf. This assisted purchase method is the safest way to guarantee your order goes through without being flagged as fraudulent by the store's system.

Shipping estimates and specs

Before you hit the buy button, it is smart to get an idea of the international shipping rates. Shoes are generally straightforward to ship, but here is what you should expect for a standard pair of 990v6s in their original box:

• Box Weight: Approx. 2.8 lbs (1.3 kg) including the outer shipping carton.
• Box Dimensions: Usually around 14 x 10 x 6 inches (Medium-sized box).
• Volumetric Warning: Shoes are dense enough that volumetric weight (size vs. weight) usually isn't an issue, but if you order multiple pairs, consider consolidating them to save on shipping fees.
• Battery Check: This item contains no lithium batteries or electronic components, so there are no special hazardous material restrictions to worry about.

To get a precise quote, you can use the shipping calculator to see the total cost from the Oregon warehouse to your doorstep in Paris, Lyon, or anywhere else in France.

Managing France delivery and import customs

When you choose ship to France, your package will undergo standard EU customs clearance. Since the 990v6 'Sea Salt' is a high-value item, you should be prepared for French VAT (TVA) and potential import duties. The beauty of a France delivery through a professional forwarder is that the paperwork is handled digitally, so you don't have to deal with manual customs forms.

By using the lazy method of consolidation, you let the warehouse team do the heavy lifting of repacking while you just wait for the delivery truck.
