How I finally secured my Rhode Peptide Lip Tint and the viral Lip Case for my Hong Kong delivery without the reseller headache

Why I am still obsessed with the Rhode Peptide Lip Tint in 2026

It is February 2026, and my TikTok feed is still dominated by one thing: the Rhode Peptide Lip Tint. I remember when Hailey Bieber first launched the brand, and we all thought the hype would die down. Instead, it has only grown, especially here in Hong Kong. The obsession with the viral 'Lip Case'—that silicone phone case that holds your lip treatment—has made Rhode the most sought-after accessory of the year.

More about shipping to Hong Kong

I see so many people in Hong Kong browsing local resellers and paying double or even triple the retail price. I used to think that was the only way to get my hands on the latest shades like 'Salty Tan' or 'Guava.' However, I realized that the US store remains the only reliable source for authentic stock and the full range of accessories. I wanted the real deal, not a potentially expired product from a random marketplace. That is when I decided to take matters into my own hands and use a freight forwarder to shop like a US local.

My strategy for shopping the Rhode US store from Hong Kong

When I first visited the Rhode website, I was worried about the logistics. Most of these viral US brands do not offer direct shipping to my apartment in Causeway Bay. I knew I needed a tax-free US address to make this work. By using comGateway, I was able to get a dedicated suite in a tax-free state, which saved me a significant amount of money on US sales tax right off the bat.

The process is actually quite simple once you see how it works. I just signed up, grabbed my US address, and entered it at the Rhode checkout. But I hit a snag that many of my friends in Hong Kong have experienced: my local credit card was flagged. This is a common hurdle when shopping at high-demand US stores, but I found a workaround that changed everything for my 2026 shopping habits.

How I bypassed credit card declines with BuyForMe

I have learned the hard way that many popular US retailers—including Rhode, Nike, Sephora, and even Apple—frequently block international credit cards. They often decline orders that use a billing address outside of the United States or those sent to known forwarding addresses. It is incredibly frustrating to see your order cancelled minutes after you think you have secured a restock.

This is where I started using the BuyForMe service. Essentially, we tell the comGateway team exactly what we want to buy, and they use a US domestic credit card to purchase the items on our behalf. This assisted purchase method is the safest way to guarantee an order goes through without being flagged by the store's security filters. For me, it was the only way I could finally get the Peptide Lip Tint and the Lip Case in a single order without the headache of constant cancellations. If you are tired of your HK card being rejected, this proxy shopping solution is your best bet.

Calculating my international shipping costs

Once my items arrived at my US address, I had to decide how to send them home. One thing I always do before placing an order is check the shipping calculator. It helps me estimate shipping cost based on the weight of the lip tints and the case. Since Rhode products are relatively light, the international shipping rates are actually quite affordable if you consolidate them with a few other items.

We often find that shipping multiple items together significantly lowers the cost per item. I usually wait until I have a few US packages ready before I trigger my Hong Kong delivery. This way, I am getting the most value out of my international shipping fees.

The truth about Hong Kong import taxes and delivery

A common myth I hear in my social circles is that importing from the US involves a mountain of paperwork and high taxes. In reality, one of the best parts about living here is that Hong Kong is a free port. We generally do not have to worry about a broad GST/VAT or a general customs tax on cosmetics.

However, it is always a good idea to stay updated on import duties just in case regulations change. For most of my 2026 hauls, I have paid zero import tax on my Rhode orders. When you choose to buy from US ship to Hong Kong, the process is much smoother than people expect. My packages usually arrive at my door within a few business days after leaving the US warehouse, proving that you do not need to rely on local resellers who inflate prices. By using comGateway, I get exactly what I want, straight from the source, with the peace of mind that it is 100% authentic.

In my experience, even with the shipping fees, I am saving money and ensuring I get the limited edition 2026 shades before they disappear.
