How I get Rhode Jelly Lip Tints to Switzerland without the checkout headache

April 01, 2026

The Rhode Jelly hype in 2026

I have been tracking Hailey Bieber’s brand since day one, and the Spring 2026 'Jelly' Collection is easily the most viral release yet. These new Peptide Lip Tint shades have a translucent, high-shine finish that is perfect for the season. However, there is a catch: they are currently US-exclusives. While everyone in Singapore is going crazy for them, I wanted to ensure I got mine delivered right to my door in Switzerland.

I check the us trends regularly, and Rhode products consistently sell out within minutes. Trying to buy these from Europe usually results in disappointment because the global site often lacks the specific 'Jelly' inventory found on the US storefront.

Why I couldn't check out directly

When I first tried to buy the tints, I hit a major wall. Like many high-demand US brands, Rhode's store—and others like Nike or Sephora—often block international credit cards. Even when I tried to use my Swiss card, the transaction was flagged. Worse, many US retailers decline orders if they detect a known warehouse address. I wanted a way to shop like a local without the paperwork or the stress of a cancelled order.

My lazy method: The BuyForMe service

I found a way to bypass all these restrictions using the BuyForMe service. This is what I call the "lazy method" because I don't have to deal with the US store's payment system myself. I simply tell comGateway what I want, and they buy the item on my behalf using a US domestic credit card.

This proxy shopping approach is the safest way to guarantee an order goes through. Since they are using a local US card and a residential-style billing profile, the store doesn't flag the purchase. If you have ever had your order cancelled by a US brand, I highly recommend this assisted purchase route. If you have questions about how it works, you can always check their FAQ or help center.

How I handled shipping to Switzerland

Once comGateway bought the lip tints for me, they were sent to my tax-free us address in Oregon. This is a huge benefit because it saves me the 7% or 10% US sales tax that I would otherwise have to pay if I shipped to a state like California or New York.

As my preferred freight forwarder, comGateway notified me as soon as the package arrived. From there, I could choose my preferred carrier. I usually opt for DHL international shipping or FedEx international shipping because they are fast and reliable for Switzerland delivery.

Managing costs and Swiss import tax

Before I ship anything, I always use the shipping calculator to estimate shipping cost. It helps me decide if I should buy more items to consolidate into one box, which significantly reduces the international shipping rates per item.

When the package enters Switzerland, I am mindful of the import tax. Swiss customs are quite efficient, and by keeping my international shipping documents transparent through the comGateway suite, the process is usually seamless. I prefer paying a bit more for shipping fees to get tracking and insurance, especially for limited edition beauty drops like the Rhode Jelly collection. For a full breakdown of costs, I always check the latest international shipping rates on their site.
