Why the Lofree Flow remains a top pick in 2026
The Lofree Flow has maintained its position as a favorite for enthusiasts who want a low-profile typing experience without sacrificing the feel of mechanical switches. While many brands have attempted to replicate its gasket-mount design in a slim form factor, the Flow stays ahead because of its POM switches and premium aluminum build. In early 2026, the demand in Germany has surged, leading to frequent stock shortages across European distributors.

For users in Berlin, Munich, or Hamburg, waiting months for a local restock is often the only alternative to importing. However, US-based specialty tech stores frequently receive larger shipments, making the USA the most reliable source for this specific peripheral.
Where to find stock in the United States
Retailers like Best Buy, specialized mechanical keyboard shops, and large tech marketplaces in the US currently have the Lofree Flow in both the 75% and 100% layouts. Because these stores are catering to a massive domestic market, their inventory refresh cycles are much shorter than what is typically seen in the EU. To access these stores, you will need a tax-free US address provided by a reliable freight forwarder.
Using a freight forwarder for German delivery
When you shop at a US store, they rarely offer direct shipping to Germany at a reasonable price, if they offer it at all. This is where a shop us ship international strategy becomes necessary. By using comGateway, you can have your keyboard sent to a warehouse in a tax-free state like Oregon, which eliminates US sales tax from your purchase price.
Once the item arrives at the warehouse, you can check the international shipping rates to decide which courier service fits your budget. This how it works guide provides a clear look at the transition from a US warehouse to your German doorstep.
Shipping Estimates and Logistics
Providing an accurate estimate for your shipment helps you budget effectively. The Lofree Flow is a compact but sturdy device, and its packaging reflects that.
| Box Weight | Approx. 1.1 kg (2.4 lbs) including retail packaging and outer shipping box. |
| Box Dimensions | Small. Typically around 38cm x 18cm x 7cm. |
| Volumetric Warning | Low. The box is dense and small, so you are unlikely to be charged based on volume rather than actual weight. |
| Battery Check | Yes. The Lofree Flow contains a 2000mAh Lithium-ion battery. This requires a "Lithium Battery" declaration. Most couriers handle this easily, but it may limit you to specific shipping lines. |

Solving payment issues with BuyForMe
A common hurdle when shopping at US stores like Best Buy or Apple is the payment wall. Many US retailers automatically decline orders that use an international credit card or a billing address outside of the United States. They may also flag and cancel orders sent to known freight forwarding addresses if the payment method doesn't match the region.
The BuyForMe service is the solution to this problem. Instead of risking a cancelled order, you tell comGateway what you want to buy, and they purchase it on your behalf using a US-issued payment card. This is the most effective way to guarantee your Lofree Flow is secured from stores that have strict regional payment policies. Using a domestic US card ensures the order is processed as a local transaction, bypassing the filters that often block German shoppers.
Importing electronics to Germany
When the keyboard arrives in Germany, it will be subject to standard import regulations. As of 2026, you should expect to pay the 19% Einfuhrumsatzsteuer (Import VAT) on the total value of the item and shipping. Since the keyboard is usually valued under €150, it may be exempt from additional customs duties, but the VAT remains mandatory. Most express couriers will handle the customs clearance for you and send you an invoice for the taxes once the package enters the country.
Following this direct path ensures you get the keyboard you want without waiting for European stock that may not arrive for several months.
