My personal strategy for getting the Our Place Splendor Skillet delivered to the Netherlands

Why I am obsessed with the Our Place Splendor Skillet

I have been a fan of Our Place for years, but their latest 2026 release, the Splendor Skillet, really caught my eye. Unlike the original Always Pan, this one is built for high-heat cooking. It is incredibly lightweight but can handle temperatures up to 600°F (315°C). For someone like me who loves searing steaks but hates heavy cast iron, it is a dream. The problem? As of May 2026, it is only shipping within the United States.

I knew I couldn't just wait for a local release that might never happen. I wanted that sleek, non-stick performance now. The Splendor Skillet is trending because it bridges the gap between professional-grade stainless steel and the convenience of ceramic non-stick. Since I live in the Netherlands, I had to figure out a reliable way to get it across the Atlantic without it getting lost or costing a fortune.

How I shop at US stores from the Netherlands

My first step was finding a way to actually **shop US store** websites that don't offer international shipping. I decided to use a **freight forwarder** to bridge the gap. By signing up with **comGateway**, I received a **tax-free US address** located in Oregon. This is a huge win because it means I don't have to pay US sales tax on top of the product price.

When I placed my order, I simply entered that Oregon address as my shipping destination. It's a straightforward **how it works** process: the store sends it to the warehouse, and then the warehouse notifies me when it arrives. If you are new to this, I recommend checking out this **step-by-step guide** on their website to see how easy the setup is.

My experience using the BuyForMe service for tricky orders

We have all been there: you find the perfect item, go to checkout, and the order is immediately cancelled. Many US retailers, including big names like Nike, Sephora, and even some boutique kitchen brands, often block international credit cards or refuse to ship to known forwarding addresses. This happened to me once when I tried to buy a limited edition set, and it was incredibly frustrating.

To avoid this with the Splendor Skillet, I used the **BuyForMe service**. This is an **assisted purchase** option where comGateway actually buys the item on my behalf using a US domestic credit card. It is the safest way to guarantee an order doesn't get flagged or cancelled by a picky retailer. If you've ever had trouble with a US site declining your Dutch card, you should look into this **proxy shopping** solution. You can find more details in their **BuyForMe service** FAQ section.

Managing the shipping process to the Netherlands

Once the skillet arrived at the warehouse, I had to decide on the best shipping method. I used the **shipping calculator** to **estimate shipping cost** beforehand so there were no surprises. Because the Splendor Skillet is designed to be lightweight, the shipping fees were much lower than I expected for a piece of cookware.

Before I cleared it for international transit, I made sure to check the **prohibited items** list. While a skillet is perfectly fine, sometimes the accessories or cleaning kits might contain **restricted goods**. It's always better to be safe, so I suggest you browse the **shipping rules** for your specific region before you buy. If you want to see more about what's allowed, you might also like to check our guide on common shipping restrictions.

Dealing with import tax and Dutch customs

Shipping to Europe always involves a bit of paperwork. When you **buy from US ship to Netherlands**, you have to account for **import tax** and **GST/VAT**. In my case, I knew that Dutch customs would apply charges once the package hit the border. I made sure to set aside a small budget for these **customs tax** fees so I wouldn't be caught off guard.

I found it very helpful to read up on how **import duties** are calculated for the EU. Being prepared for the **Netherlands delivery** process meant I could just wait for the postman to arrive without worrying about hidden costs. You can find a lot of clarity on this by visiting the comGateway section on **import tax** rules.

My final checklist for a successful delivery

Getting my hands on the Our Place Splendor Skillet was a smooth process because I followed a specific plan. If you are looking to do the same, here is the summary of what worked for me:

I'm already planning my next purchase. Now that I know the system, I'm looking at some US-exclusive baking sets that aren't available in Amsterdam yet. Happy cooking!
