Buy It For Me

Just a moment, securing your connection...

The NYC-based brand has built a reputation for exclusivity, but this 2026 drop takes it further with colorways that are only stocked on their North American webstore. For shoppers in Germany, getting these pieces through a freight forwarder is often the only way to avoid the massive markups found on secondary resale markets where prices frequently double.

Securing the collection from US boutiques

Buying directly from the US allows you to pay the original retail price in USD, which is significantly lower than the imported prices seen in boutique shops across Berlin or Hamburg. To do this effectively, you need a tax-free US address. Using a US address provided by comGateway allows you to bypass US sales tax at checkout, ensuring your initial purchase price remains as low as possible.

Once your items reach the warehouse, you can forward packages to your home in Germany with ease. This method is the smartest way to shop because it gives you access to the same inventory as a New York local, ensuring you don't miss out on limited-run sizes that sell out instantly globally.

Solving international payment issues with BuyForMe

Many high-end US retailers, including the boutiques that stock Aimé Leon Dore, have strict security protocols that often block international credit cards or orders with billing addresses outside the United States. It is common for orders to be cancelled if the store detects a non-US payment method, even if you are using a legitimate shipping address.

To prevent these cancellations, you should utilize the BuyForMe service. Through this assisted purchase program, comGateway acts as your US proxy. We buy the items on your behalf using a domestic US credit card, which guarantees that your order is accepted by the merchant. This is the safest way to ensure your Year of the Horse hoodie or cap is secured before the stock disappears.

Projected shipping estimates for your ALD order

Calculating your landed cost is essential for smart shopping. Below are the estimated logistics details for typical items in the Aimé Leon Dore Year of the Horse collection to help you plan your budget. You can also use the shipping calculator for more precise figures based on your specific cart.

A note on Volumetric Weight

While clothing is generally light, large orders or bulky jackets can take up significant space. If the box is large but the items inside are light, carriers may charge based on the box's volume rather than its actual weight. If you are buying multiple items, consider using a parcel forwarding service that offers repacking or consolidation to minimize empty space and reduce your international shipping rates.

Managing customs and VAT in Germany

When your package arrives in Germany, it will be subject to local import regulations. Because the Year of the Horse items are luxury goods, you should prepare for the standard 19% VAT (Einfuhrumsatzsteuer) plus any applicable customs duties for clothing. By reviewing the shipping fees and import estimates beforehand, you can ensure that the total cost of importing from the US still beats the inflated resale prices currently circulating in Europe.

Shopping the US drop directly remains the most effective way to guarantee authenticity and obtain the specific 2026 Lunar New Year embroidery that defines this collection. Use your shop US store access to get ahead of the local market today.
