I found the easiest way to get a Rabbit R2 from the US to the Netherlands

Why I needed the Rabbit R2 AI Companion

I have been watching the 2026 AI hardware landscape closely, and the Rabbit R2 is the first device that actually makes sense for my daily routine. With its new built-in camera and a significantly faster Large Action Model (LAM), it handles my scheduling and research better than any smartphone app. Since the initial rollout is focused on the US market, I knew I had to find a way to get it to my house in the Netherlands without waiting for a global release that might never happen.

Buy It For Me

Just a moment, securing your connection...

I track a lot of us trends to see what tech is worth the import fees, and the R2 currently sits at the top of my list. You might also like to read more: Does the Rabbit R2 actually offer enough value to justify importing it to the Netherlands?

The problem with buying from US stores

My first attempt to buy the R2 directly was a disaster. Many US retailers, including the big tech giants like Apple or specialty AI labs, have a habit of blocking international credit cards. Even when I tried using my Dutch Mastercard, the transaction was flagged and cancelled within minutes. To make matters worse, some stores refuse to ship to addresses they recognize as belonging to a freight forwarder.

I don't have time to argue with customer support or try five different credit cards. I wanted a solution that required zero paperwork and zero stress. Check our guide on the situation: Read more: Get the Rabbit R2 AI Companion delivered to the Netherlands despite US retail restrictions.

My lazy method: The BuyForMe service

I shifted my strategy and used comGateway’s BuyForMe service. This is the ultimate lazy method for anyone in the Netherlands who wants US-exclusive gear. Instead of me fighting with the checkout page, I simply told them what I wanted. They used a US domestic credit card to purchase the Rabbit R2 on my behalf.

This proxy shopping approach is the safest way to guarantee an order doesn't get cancelled. They handle the entire transaction, and since they use a US billing address, the store treats it like a local sale. It completely removes the headache of being an international buyer trying to navigate restrictive US payment systems.

Getting it to my door in the Netherlands

Once the Rabbit R2 arrived at my tax-free us address, I received a notification to choose my shipping method. Because the R2 is a small, lightweight device, the costs were surprisingly low. I always suggest using a shipping calculator before you buy so you aren't surprised by the final bill.

I’ve done this before with other gadgets, and the process is seamless. You might also like: Read more: Rabbit R2 Batch 1 shipping to the Netherlands works via US freight forwarding. I didn't have to fill out complex customs declarations myself; the platform handled the logistics data for me.

Managing costs and shipping rules

Before I ship anything containing lithium batteries or new AI sensors, I always double-check the shipping rules. You don't want your new Rabbit R2 stuck in a warehouse because it falls under restricted goods. Fortunately, for the Netherlands, electronics like this are generally fine as long as the paperwork is handled correctly.

I used the estimate shipping cost tool to factor in the VAT for the Netherlands. By shipping from a tax-free state in the US (like Oregon), I saved on the initial US sales tax, which offset a good portion of the international shipping fees. It’s a direct, no-nonsense way to get the latest 2026 tech without leaving my house in Amsterdam.
