Why I think importing the Drunk Elephant B-Goldi Jumbo from the US to Switzerland makes sense right now

The logic behind my jumbo serum obsession

I have been a fan of the B-Goldi Bright Illuminating Drops for a while, but the 30ml bottles we get locally just don't last long enough for my daily routine. When I saw that US retailers launched a 60ml Jumbo 'Value Size' in early 2026, I did some quick math. Even with the cost of getting it across the ocean, the price per milliliter is significantly lower than buying two standard bottles here. My skin loves the 5% niacinamide and the champagne gold finish, so I wanted to find a way to make this US exclusive work for my budget.

We often get the short end of the stick with beauty releases, and this 2026 jumbo version is a perfect example. It is currently a North American exclusive, meaning if I wanted those extra milliliters, I had to look into a freight forwarder like comGateway to bridge the gap. My goal was simple: get the best value for my favorite serum without waiting for a local launch that might never happen.

Where I found the 60ml exclusive bottle

I spent some time browsing the usual suspects like Sephora and Ulta in the US. Both stores carry the 60ml Jumbo B-Goldi, often bundled with other rewards or samples. I found that shopping these stores directly is the only way to secure the specific 2026 value packaging. Since these stores don't ship directly to my front door here, I realized I needed a tax-free US address to make the purchase possible.

When I shop US store sites, I use the address provided by my forwarding service. This allows me to access the same inventory as a US resident. I noticed that the jumbo size is frequently in stock compared to the smaller versions which tend to sell out faster due to their lower entry price. For me, the bigger bottle is the smarter play for long-term use.

My shipping estimates for the B-Goldi

Before I clicked 'buy', I needed to know if the shipping would eat up all my savings. I put together some estimates to help anyone else looking to do the same. This is what I found for a single bottle of the Jumbo 60ml drops.

I used a shipping calculator to get a better idea of the total. Since the package is quite light, I found it actually makes more sense to buy two bottles or add a few other US exclusives to the same box to optimize the international shipping rates. My experience shows that the first half-kilogram is usually the most expensive, so adding a little more weight doesn't hurt the wallet too much.

How I handled the US-to-Switzerland logistics

Once I had my items at the US warehouse, the process of Switzerland delivery became the focus. I checked the international shipping fees and selected a courier that offered tracking. I've found that using a dedicated international shipping service gives me a bit more peace of mind than standard postal services, especially for skincare products that I don't want sitting in a hot warehouse for weeks.

The steps were pretty straightforward. I placed my order, sent it to my US address, and then triggered the shipment to my home. I also made sure to look at the list of prohibited items just in case. While serums are generally fine, some aerosol sprays or high-alcohol toners can sometimes have restrictions. Luckily, B-Goldi is a water-based serum, so it passed through without any issues.

Dealing with Swiss import rules in 2026

Shipping to our corner of the world involves a bit of paperwork. When I ship to Switzerland, I always keep the VAT and customs duties in mind. As of May 2026, the thresholds haven't changed much, but it's always good to be prepared for the administrative fee charged by the courier for customs clearance.

My logic was that even with the Swiss VAT added at the border, the 60ml US exclusive still comes out cheaper than buying the equivalent volume here. Plus, the convenience of having a larger supply means I won't have to re-order for several months. We have a very efficient buy from US ship to Switzerland pipeline these days, and my package arrived in about six business days. If you are looking to get your hands on this specific Drunk Elephant drop, I highly recommend looking at the US stores first.
