I used a freight forwarder to snag the US-exclusive Jellycat S'mores for way less than Singapore resale prices

Why I am obsessed with the 2026 Jellycat S'mores

I have always had a soft spot for plushies, but the moment I saw the Jellycat 'Amuseable S'mores' (2026 US Exclusive), I knew I had to have it. It is perfectly toasted, with those signature little boots and a chocolatey smile that just melts my heart. As a collector based in Singapore, I was heartbroken to learn that the official APAC release isn't planned until late 2027. I am not exactly known for my patience when it comes to limited editions, especially when I see collectors in Hong Kong and the US already posting their photos online.

I spent my morning looking at the latest us trends and realized that this specific S'mores design is quickly becoming one of the most sought-after items of the year. Because it is a US exclusive for now, local resellers in Singapore are already trying to charge double or triple the retail price. I decided I wouldn't let those crazy markups ruin my fun. I wanted my marshmallow friend now, and I wanted it at a fair price.

The staggering price gap I found

I did some quick math and the results were shocking. In the US, the Amuseable S'mores retails for about $45 USD. Meanwhile, some independent sellers here in Singapore are listing pre-orders for over $120 SGD! That is a massive price gap that I simply could not ignore. Even with the cost of getting it across the ocean, I realized I could save a significant amount of money if I just bought it directly from a shop us store myself.

I also noticed that many US retailers offer free domestic shipping, which makes the deal even sweeter. By using a tax-free us address, I managed to avoid US sales tax entirely, keeping my initial purchase cost as low as possible. This is the only way I shop for my collection now, as it allows me to spend more on the actual toys and less on the logistics fluff.

My secret to shopping US stores from Singapore

My go-to method for these situations is using a freight forwarder. Since most US Jellycat retailers don't offer direct international shipping to Singapore—or if they do, the rates are astronomical—I use a service that gives me a dedicated US address. I simply have my S'mores sent to that warehouse, and then they forward packages directly to my doorstep in Singapore.

I’ve found that comGateway is incredibly reliable for this. I can shop at multiple stores, consolidate my packages, and then ship to Singapore in one go. It makes the whole process feel like I’m just shopping at a local mall, except my mall happens to be 9,000 miles away. If you are worried about the complexity, don't be. I found it quite simple once I had my US address set up.

Shipping estimates for your S'mores plush

I know many of you are wondering about the actual logistics of moving a plush toy across the world. Based on my experience with this specific Jellycat 'Amuseable S'mores' (2026 US Exclusive), here is what you should expect when you use a parcel forwarding service.

Metric Estimate
Box Weight Approx. 1.1 lbs (0.5 kg)
Box Dimensions Small (Approx. 8" x 6" x 6")
Volumetric Warning High. While the S'mores is light, retailers often use boxes with extra air. Always ask for repacking to save on space!
Battery Check No lithium batteries. This is a standard plush toy.

I always recommend that my friends check the international shipping rates before they commit. Because plush toys are light but can be bulky, the volumetric weight (the space the box takes up) can sometimes be higher than the actual weight. I’ve learned to look for services that offer repacking to minimize that extra space.

Calculating the total cost to ship to Singapore

I didn't want any surprises when my credit card bill arrived, so I used a shipping calculator before I hit the checkout button. This helped me estimate exactly how much the Singapore delivery would cost. Even with the shipping fees, my total cost stayed well under the $100 SGD mark, which is still much cheaper than what the local resellers are asking for this 2026 exclusive.

I also kept an eye on shipping fees to ensure I wasn't overpaying for speed. Since I wanted my S'mores quickly, I opted for a standard express service. One thing to remember for my fellow Singaporeans: keep the total value of your shipment (including shipping) in mind for GST purposes. Since the S'mores is relatively affordable, I didn't have to worry about hitting high tax brackets for a single item, but it is always good to be aware of the 2026 import rules.

My final thoughts on this 2026 exclusive

I am so glad I didn't wait until 2027 to get my Amuseable S'mores. By being a bit proactive and using a package forwarding service, I managed to beat the crowd and save money at the same time. There is a certain thrill in owning a piece of a collection before it officially hits the local shelves. It’s not just about having the toy; it’s about the satisfaction of knowing I navigated the international shipping process like a pro.

If you are looking to buy from US ship to Singapore, I highly recommend giving this a try. My S'mores is currently sitting on my shelf, looking adorable and reminding me that I don't have to wait for the rest of the world to catch up to the things I love. Happy hunting, and I hope you get your toasted marshmallow friend soon!
