Why I am ordering the 2026 Framework Laptop 13 from the US to the Netherlands right now

Why the 2026 Framework is a big deal

I have been waiting for the 2026 modular refresh for months. The new Framework Laptop 13 featuring the Intel Core Ultra Series 2 chips is finally here, and it is everything I hoped for. This year, they really pushed the boundaries of what a repairable laptop can do. We are seeing significantly better thermal management and a massive jump in battery efficiency compared to last year's models.

The hype is real because of the early-access mainboard upgrades. I saw on several us trends platforms that these specific configurations allow for a level of customization that just isn't standard in the laptop industry yet. While some markets are still waiting, the US store is already shipping these high-performance kits.

The problem with international availability

Living in the Netherlands, I often feel like I am in the second or third wave of tech releases. For the 2026 Framework Laptop 13, the US-exclusive configurations and those coveted early-access mainboards are not yet available in our local retail market. Even major hubs like Singapore haven't seen these specific 2026 parts yet, which makes me think it will be a long wait for us here in Europe.

My strategy to buy from the USA

I decided I wasn't going to wait. My plan involves using comGateway to bridge the gap. By using a tax-free us address, I can purchase the laptop directly from the US Framework store just like a local would. I have found that this is often the only way to get my hands on bleeding-edge tech before it becomes obsolete or overpriced by local resellers.

When I shop this way, I use a parcel forwarding service to handle the logistics. It is a straightforward process where the store ships to my Oregon address, and then my packages are sent directly to my door here in the Netherlands.

How to fix order cancellations with BuyForMe

I have run into a few walls when trying to buy from big US brands in the past. Stores like Apple, Sephora, or even Nike are notorious for blocking international credit cards or automatically declining orders that are sent to a known freight forwarder. It is incredibly frustrating to have your order cancelled within minutes of placing it.

To solve this, I use the comGateway "BuyForMe" service. This is essentially an assisted purchase where they buy the item on my behalf using a US domestic credit card. Since the transaction looks like a local US purchase, it bypasses those strict filters that usually flag my Dutch card. I have found this is the safest way to guarantee my order doesn't get cancelled, especially for high-value electronics like the Framework 13.

Getting it to the Netherlands safely

Once my laptop reaches the warehouse, I focus on the transition to buy from US ship to Netherlands. One thing I always do is check the shipping calculator to get a clear picture of what the final cost will look like. It helps me decide which shipping speed I want to pay for.

I also make sure to review the shipping rules for my specific region. Since laptops contain lithium batteries, there are specific prohibited items and restricted goods guidelines that we need to follow to ensure the package isn't held up at customs or by the airline.

Managing costs and rules

I always recommend being mindful of the import duties and VAT in the Netherlands. While using a freight forwarder saves me a lot of trouble on the US side, I still need to be ready for the local delivery process. I've found that being proactive with my documentation makes the Netherlands delivery much smoother.

We are in a great era for tech, and I am glad that I don't have to let a border stop me from getting the exact hardware I want for my workspace.
