Why am I still ordering the Skims Fits Everybody Lace from the US when I live in Switzerland?

The obsession with the 2026 Lace collection

I have been watching the Spring 2026 trends closely, and honestly, the Skims Fits Everybody Lace Collection is all I see on my feed. Living in Switzerland, we usually have access to great brands, but there is a catch with Skims this year. The full range of sizes and those specific 2026 'Lace' seasonal shades are currently exclusive to the US webstore. If you try to shop locally, you are often stuck with the basic colors from two years ago.

We all know the 'Fits Everybody' fabric is legendary for its stretch, but the 2026 lace detail adds a level of delicacy that I haven't seen before. I noticed that several us trends are leaning toward this "utility-glamour" look. Because the Swiss site doesn't stock the full inventory, I decided to look into how I could get my hands on the onyx and petal pink lace sets directly from the source.

My experience getting these items from the US

To get my order through, I used comGateway. It is a freight forwarder that provides you with a tax-free us address. This is a huge deal because sales tax in some US states can add 10% to your bill before you even think about international shipping. By using their Oregon-based warehouse, I saved that extra cost immediately.

I found that the process is fairly straightforward. You shop us store sites just like a local would, enter your suite number at checkout, and wait for the notification that your lace bodysuits have arrived at the warehouse. From there, you can choose your shipping speed to Switzerland.

Shipping estimates for your Skims haul

I know we all worry about the cost of shipping lightweight clothing across the Atlantic. Here is a breakdown of what I estimated for a typical Spring 2026 lace order (3-4 items):

Metric Estimate
Box Weight Approx. 0.5 kg (1.1 lbs)
Box Dimensions Small (Typically a 25x20x5 cm polybag or small box)
Volumetric Warning Low. These items are highly compressible, so you won't get hit with large volume fees.
Battery Check None. These are textiles; no lithium batteries to worry about.

If you are planning a bigger haul, I suggest using the shipping calculator to see how much more it might cost. Usually, adding a few more bralettes doesn't change the shipping price much because they are so light.

The BuyForMe service for tricky orders

One thing I encountered—and many of my friends have too—is that some US stores are becoming very picky. Brands like Nike, Sephora, or even Skims during high-traffic drops sometimes block international credit cards or refuse to ship to a package forwarding address if they detect it.

This is where I found the BuyForMe service to be a lifesaver. Essentially, comGateway acts as a proxy shopping partner. We tell them what we want, and they use a US-based payment method and a domestic billing address to buy the items for us. This assisted purchase is the most reliable way to make sure your order doesn't get cancelled at 2 AM. It takes the stress out of the checkout process entirely.

What I learned about Swiss customs in 2026

Shipping to Switzerland has its own quirks. Since we are in 2026, remember that the VAT and processing fees for imports are still a factor. When I forward packages, I always make sure to declare the value accurately. Swiss Customs is efficient, but they are thorough. If you keep your total order value (including shipping) under certain thresholds, you might find the process even smoother. I always recommend checking the current 2026 Swiss Federal Office for Customs and Border Security (OFAC) rates before clicking buy.

Overall, I think the exclusive colors in the Fits Everybody Lace line make the extra step worth it. There is something satisfying about having a piece that isn't available in every shop window in Geneva.
