Buy It For Me

Just a moment, securing your connection...

Acquiring this pair directly from a shop US store environment ensures that you are getting the genuine domestic build. Many enthusiasts prefer the US-sourced pairs because the quality control standards for domestic releases remain the gold standard in the footwear industry. By choosing to shop US store options, you gain access to the full size run that is rarely available overseas.

Compare the costs of US versus UK retail pricing

Buying the 990v7 from a US retailer is a strategic financial move. In 2026, the retail price for the 990v7 in the United States is approximately $220. When the same model eventually hits UK shelves, the price is often set at £220 or higher, which translates to nearly $275 at current exchange rates. Even when including shipping, the math favors the smart shopper who imports directly.

To get a precise figure for your specific location in London, Manchester, or elsewhere, you should use the shipping calculator. This tool allows you to estimate shipping cost before you commit to a purchase, ensuring there are no surprises when the box arrives at your door.

Overcome international retail blocks with BuyForMe

A critical barrier for UK shoppers is that major US retailers like New Balance, Nike, and high-end boutiques often block international credit cards. Even if you have a valid shipping address, these stores may decline your transaction if the billing address is outside the United States. Furthermore, many sites automatically cancel orders sent to a known freight forwarder address to protect their regional distribution agreements.

Utilize the BuyForMe service to circumvent these restrictions. Through this assisted purchase program, comGateway acts as your local buyer. We use a US domestic credit card and a verified residential-style billing profile to purchase the New Balance 990v7 on your behalf. This proxy shopping method is the most reliable way to guarantee your order isn't flagged or cancelled by strict US-based e-commerce platforms. If you have questions about how we handle specific retailers, visit our FAQ for more detailed information.

Ship your sneakers safely using a freight forwarder

Once your 990v7 arrives at your tax-free us address in Oregon, you have full control over the next steps. Using a freight forwarder is not just about moving a box; it is about protecting a high-value investment. Our parcel forwarding service includes options for extra padding and inspection to ensure your 'Grey/Silver' pairs are in perfect condition before they cross the Atlantic.

Follow this how it works step-by-step guide to streamline the process:

• Register for a comGateway account to receive your US address.
• Purchase your New Balance 990v7 using that address (or use BuyForMe).
• Wait for the notification that your package has arrived at the warehouse.
• Select your preferred shipping speed to the UK.
• Track your shipment until it reaches your doorstep.

By using a dedicated freight forwarder, you can also consolidate multiple purchases into one box. If you are also eyeing 2026 apparel drops from other US brands, you can forward packages together to save up to 80% on total shipping costs compared to individual international shipments.

Manage UK import taxes and duties for 2026

Importing goods into the United Kingdom requires an understanding of current VAT and customs duty regulations. As of April 2026, most footwear imports exceeding £135 are subject to customs duty and a 20% VAT. However, because you saved significantly on the initial US retail price and avoided the UK markup, the total landed cost remains competitive. Always check the support or help center if you need documentation for customs clearance. Using a professional package forwarding provider ensures that all necessary export paperwork is accurately filed, reducing the risk of your 990v7 being held at the border.
