Why the Giant Basketball is the must-have plush of 2026

If you have been keeping an eye on the plushie collector circles lately, you know that the 2026 season has been all about the Jellycat Amuseables Sports 'Basketball' (Giant Size). While the standard Amuseables are already popular, the Giant-sized sports collection has become a massive trend, particularly within the Taiwan collector community and now across Europe. The problem for those of us living in France is that this specific oversized basketball is a US exclusive for the current season.

Buy It For Me

Just a moment, securing your connection...

Collectors are drawn to the incredible detail and the sheer scale of the Giant Basketball. It is not just a toy; it is a statement piece for any room. Because it is only being stocked by major US retailers, finding one in Paris or Lyon is virtually impossible right now. This is where a reliable freight forwarder becomes your best friend to bridge the gap between US stock and your doorstep.

Picking up US exclusives from France

To get your hands on this plush, you first need a way to shop us store websites that do not offer direct shipping to Europe. When you sign up for a service like comGateway, you get a tax-free us address. This address allows you to checkout at US retailers as if you were living in Oregon, saving you from paying US sales tax on top of the product price.

Once you have your address, you can browse sites like Nordstrom, the official Jellycat US store, or high-end boutique toy shops. Before you hit that buy button, it is always a smart move to estimate shipping cost using a shipping calculator. This helps you understand the total cost of bringing that giant basketball home before you commit to the purchase.

Using the BuyForMe service to avoid order cancellations

Here is where things can get a bit tricky for international shoppers. Some major US retailers—think of the strict policies at stores like Nike, Sephora, or Apple—often have systems that block international credit cards. They might also automatically decline orders if they detect a known shipping forwarder's address. It is incredibly frustrating to see your order cancelled just hours after you thought you had secured your Jellycat.

The safest way to handle this is through the BuyForMe service. Instead of you struggling with the checkout process, comGateway buys the item on your behalf using a US domestic credit card. This effectively removes the risk of your order being flagged or cancelled due to your location or payment method. If you are trying to snag a high-demand item like the Giant Basketball, using this assisted purchase method is the most reliable way to ensure you don't miss out while the item is still in stock.

Managing your France delivery and customs

After your package arrives at your US address, you can choose your preferred international shipping service to get it to your home. When you are ready to ship to France, you should be aware of how local regulations work. For a France delivery, your package will pass through customs, and you will likely need to account for import duties and VAT. These are standard for any high-value item coming from outside the EU.

While plushies are generally very easy to ship, it is always a good idea to stay informed. Check our guide on shipping rules to ensure you aren't accidentally trying to ship prohibited items or restricted goods. Since the Giant Basketball is quite large, you might also consider consolidating it with other US purchases to save on the overall international shipping fees. By combining multiple orders into one box, you can significantly reduce the price per item for shipping across the Atlantic.

Getting that elusive 2026 Jellycat doesn't have to be a logistical nightmare. By using a US address and the BuyForMe service, you can skip the paperwork and the technical errors, leaving you with nothing to do but wait for your massive new basketball to arrive in France.
