Buying from scalpers vs. Using comGateway: Don't lose money on Liquid I.V. Rainbow Sherbet shipments to China

Why the Liquid I.V. Rainbow Sherbet hype is real in 2026
If you have been scrolling through wellness threads lately, you have probably seen the neon-bright packaging of the Liquid I.V. Hydration Multiplier (Sugar-Free Rainbow Sherbet). It is currently the most talked-about flavor in the 2026 wellness scene. While places like the Australian health food market are still waiting for these specific sugar-free profiles, the US market is already stocked up. For those of us living in China, getting our hands on this flavor isn't as simple as walking to a local shop.
The flavor profile is nostalgic, mimicking that classic citrus and cream summer treat, but without the sugar crash. It uses Cellular Transport Technology (CTT) to hydrate you faster than water alone. Since this specific flavor is a US exclusive for now, people are scrambling to find a reliable way to get it delivered to their door without paying 300% markups to gray-market resellers.
The risk of ignoring import rules for China
Here is the part where you need to be careful. If you try to order these supplements blindly, you might run into issues with Customs. China has specific regulations regarding health supplements and personal imports. If you do not understand import duties or the current de minimis values, your Rainbow Sherbet could end up sitting in a warehouse in Shanghai or Guangzhou indefinitely.
I have seen people lose their entire shipment because they didn't use a proper freight forwarder who knows how to handle the paperwork. You want your electrolytes in your water bottle, not stuck in a customs inspection bin. Using a trusted comGateway account gives you a bridge between US retailers and your home in China.
Shipping Estimates for your hydration haul
To help you plan your budget, here is a breakdown of what you are looking at for a standard shipment of Liquid I.V. pouches.
| Factor | Estimate |
|---|---|
| Box Weight | Approx. 0.6 lbs (0.27 kg) per 14-count bag. A 3-pack bundle is roughly 2 lbs. |
| Box Dimensions | Small. Usually around 8 x 6 x 3 inches for a single bag. |
| Volumetric Warning | Low risk. These bags are dense and small, so you likely won't be charged extra for volume. |
| Battery Check | No lithium batteries. No special dangerous goods handling required for this item. |
Before you hit the checkout button, I highly recommend using a shipping calculator to see how much it will cost to send several packs at once. It is usually much cheaper to bundle three or four bags than to ship them individually.
How to shop US stores from China
Most US stores like Target, Walmart, or the official Liquid I.V. website don't ship directly to China, or if they do, the rates are astronomical. This is where how it works becomes important: you get a tax-free US address to use at checkout. The store ships your Rainbow Sherbet to that address, and then it is forwarded to you.
This method allows you to shop US store selections just like a local. You get the authentic product, the latest 2026 expiration dates, and the best prices. Once your package arrives at the US warehouse, you can manage the package forwarding process through your dashboard.
Local markups vs. US retail prices: Why the difference is huge
Let's look at the math. Buying a bag of Sugar-Free Rainbow Sherbet from a local boutique importer in China vs. buying it yourself from a US retailer. Usually, the local markup is at least double the price because the reseller is taking a cut for the "convenience."
When you use a parcel forwarding service, you are paying the actual retail price plus a transparent shipping fee. Even with shipping costs, I usually find that I save about 30% to 40% compared to buying from people on social media platforms who might be selling old stock. Plus, you have the peace of mind knowing your supplement hasn't been sitting in an unregulated hot warehouse for months.
If you are ready to try the flavor everyone is talking about, just make sure you follow a step-by-step guide for international shipping so you don't get hit with surprise fees at the border. Stay hydrated and happy shopping!
