The 2026 Jellycat New York exclusives cost much more in Belgium than in the United States

The social media hype for the 2026 New York City exclusives

The 2026 Jellycat New York City Series featuring the exclusive Apple and Taxi designs has become a major target for collectors. These items are currently distributed only through specific US-based retailers and flagship stores. Because these specific designs are not stocked by retailers in Belgium or the wider EU region, availability is restricted to the North American market. Social media platforms are currently seeing a surge in demand for these plush toys, leading to rapid sell-outs upon restock.

Just a moment, securing your connection...

Collectors in Belgium often find that the only way to acquire these items is through international shipping. Using a tax-free us address allows shoppers to access US inventory directly from the source rather than waiting for local stockists that may never receive the collection.

The price gap between US retail and Belgian resellers

The retail price for the Jellycat New York Apple and Taxi in the US is significantly lower than the prices found on European secondary markets. Resellers in the EU often list these exclusives at double or triple the original retail value due to their scarcity. By purchasing directly from a shop us store, you can avoid these inflated local prices. Even when factoring in international shipping rates, the total cost of importing from the US frequently remains lower than buying from a local reseller.

Shipping estimates for the Apple and Taxi plushies

When planning your purchase, it is important to consider the physical characteristics of the items to understand your potential costs. You can use a shipping calculator to get a more precise figure based on current rates.

Shipping rules and volumetric weight considerations

Plush toys like the Jellycat New York series are lightweight but can take up considerable space in a shipping container. You should be aware of the Volumetric Weight policy. If the box used by the retailer is larger than necessary, you will be charged based on the dimensions rather than the actual weight. To mitigate this, comGateway offers repacking services to minimize box volume. Regarding safety regulations, these plush toys do not contain lithium batteries, meaning they are not subject to the restricted handling procedures required for electronics.

Overcoming US store payment restrictions with the BuyForMe service

A common obstacle for shoppers in Belgium is that many US boutiques and department stores do not accept international credit cards. Stores like FAO Schwarz or specific Jellycat stockists often decline orders that use a non-US billing address or those associated with a freight forwarder. This can lead to order cancellations and temporary fund holds on your card.

The BuyForMe service serves as a solution to this problem. Through this proxy shopping method, comGateway purchases the item on your behalf using a US domestic payment method. This is the most reliable way to ensure your order for the New York City exclusives is accepted and processed without issues. This assisted purchase option removes the technical barriers between Belgian shoppers and US-only inventory.

How to manage Belgium delivery and customs

Once your items arrive at your US address, you can initiate the Belgium delivery process. It is important to understand that all imports into Belgium from outside the EU are subject to import tax and VAT. As of 2026, the standard VAT rate in Belgium is 21%. These import duties are typically calculated based on the value of the goods plus the shipping fees.

To start your order, follow this step-by-step guide:

• Register for a US shipping address.
• Purchase the Jellycat New York Apple or Taxi from a US retailer, or use the BuyForMe service.
• Wait for the notification that your package has reached the warehouse.
• Select your preferred shipping speed to Belgium and pay the international shipping cost.
• Track your package until it arrives at your door in Belgium.

Managing the process this way ensures you receive the authentic 2026 exclusives without relying on the unpredictable stock levels of local boutiques.
