My obsession with the 2026 New York Jellycat Series

I have been a collector for years, but the 2026 Jellycat 'New York' City Series hit differently. The minute I saw the 2026 Exclusive Apple with its little stem hat and the iconic yellow Taxi plush on my social feed, I knew I needed them. These aren't just toys; they are highly collectible snapshots of NYC culture that are currently blowing up on TikTok and Instagram. Since it is already May 2026, the hype has reached a fever pitch, and these specific designs are becoming increasingly hard to find even within the United States.

We often see popular products like these trend globally, but the distribution is rarely equal. While I was browsing for top us deals, I realized that these plushies are part of a localized strategy. They are meant for the flagship New York stores and specific high-end US boutiques, making them a "hidden barrier" for those of us living in Europe.

Why we can't find the Apple and Taxi in Switzerland

I spent an entire weekend checking every boutique in Geneva and Zurich, only to be told the same thing: "We don't get the City Series." It turns out that Jellycat keeps these as location-specific exclusives. If you aren't physically in Manhattan, you are basically out of luck—unless you know how to shop us store websites directly.

The problem I faced was that most US retailers stocking the 2026 Apple and Taxi simply do not offer international shipping to Switzerland. Even if they do, the shipping fees are often more expensive than the plush itself. This is the invisible wall that prevents us Swiss collectors from completing our sets.

The method I used to shop US stores from Zurich

I decided to take matters into my own hands. I used a freight forwarder to bridge the gap. By signing up, I was given a tax-free us address based in Oregon. This is a total game-changer because it allows me to checkout on US websites as if I were living there. I simply entered my US address at checkout, and the store shipped my New York Jellycats there for free.

If you are curious about the logistics, the how it works page provides a great step-by-step guide on how to set this up. Once my package arrived at the warehouse, I was notified and could choose my preferred shipping method to Switzerland. It made the whole process feel like I was just ordering from a local shop.

Shipping Estimates for your Jellycat haul

Before I committed to the purchase, I wanted to make sure I wasn't going to spend a fortune on the flight from the US to my house. I used the shipping calculator to estimate shipping cost based on the typical size of these plushies.

Safety checks and restricted goods

I always make it a habit to check the prohibited items list before I buy anything from overseas. While stuffed animals are generally safe, some countries have restrictions on specific filling materials or "intellectual property" if they are counterfeit. Since I was buying authentic Jellycats, there were no issues with restricted goods. If you are ever unsure, the shipping rules are clearly outlined on the site.

What I learned about Swiss customs and VAT

Shipping to Switzerland has its own quirks. We have a relatively low threshold for VAT and customs duties compared to some other countries. When my 2026 New York exclusives arrived, I had to pay the Swiss VAT (currently 8.1%) because the value of my items exceeded the de minimis limit. I found some really helpful info in the FAQ section of the help center regarding how duty is calculated for international shipments. It is always better to be prepared so you don't get a surprise bill from Swiss Post.

My final verdict on the NYC exclusives

The 2026 New York Apple and Taxi are even cuter in person. The quality of the stitchwork on the taxi's checkered pattern is incredible, and the Apple has that signature Jellycat softness that we all love. Using comGateway made it possible for me to bypass the regional restrictions that usually keep these treasures away from us in Switzerland. If you're struggling to find them, don't wait for a local release that might never happen. If you have more questions, the support team is usually very responsive to help you out.
