How I got Rhode Barrier Restore Cream delivered to the Netherlands in record time

March 11, 2026

Why I am still obsessed with Rhode in 2026

It is March 2026 and I still haven't found a moisturizer that compares to the Rhode Barrier Restore Cream. Hailey Bieber’s line has moved past the initial hype and proven itself as a staple for anyone who wants that glazed, healthy skin look. While there are local alternatives in Europe, I’ve found that the US store remains the most reliable source for fresh, authentic stock. Every time I try to wait for a local restock, it sells out in minutes. That is why I decided to take matters into my own hands and source it directly from the source.

I’ve been tracking us trends for a while now, and Rhode continues to dominate the skincare conversation. If you are living in the Netherlands like me, you know the struggle of seeing these viral products all over social media but having no easy way to get them delivered to your door without waiting weeks or paying massive markups to resellers.

My shortcut to buying directly from the US

My secret to getting my hands on these products quickly is using a freight forwarder. Specifically, I signed up for a tax-free us address through comGateway. This allowed me to shop us store websites just like a local would. Instead of waiting for an international shipping option that might never come, I simply ship my Rhode orders to my US suite and then forward packages to my home in the Netherlands.

I’ve found this to be the fastest path because US domestic shipping is incredibly quick, and once it hits the warehouse, the international leg is handled by premium couriers.

Why I use BuyForMe to avoid cancelled orders

One thing I learned the hard way is that many popular US beauty brands, including those found at Sephora or even some standalone brand sites, can be very picky about payment. I have had my orders cancelled because I used a Dutch credit card or because the billing address didn't match the US shipping address. This is a common hurdle when you try to forward packages from high-demand brands.

To solve this, I started using the "BuyForMe" service. Here is how it works: I tell the team what I want, and they use a US domestic credit card to make the purchase on my behalf. This is the safest way to guarantee my order doesn't get flagged or cancelled by the store’s security filters. It saves me the headache of seeing that "Order Cancelled" email right when I thought I had secured my Barrier Restore Cream.

Shipping estimates for the Netherlands

Before you place your order, you should always estimate shipping cost to avoid surprises. Skincare items are generally easy to ship, but it helps to know the specs. Here is my breakdown for the Rhode Barrier Restore Cream:

  • Box Weight: Approx. 0.5 lbs (0.23 kg) for a single tube. Even with protective packaging, it rarely exceeds 1 lb.
  • Box Dimensions: This is a small item. The packaging is typically around 6x4x2 inches.
  • Volumetric Warning: Since the item is very light and small, you don't really need to worry about volumetric weight. However, if you decide to buy a large vanity case or a plush bag along with it, remember that comGateway calculates cost based on whichever is higher: actual weight or the space the box takes up.
  • Battery Check: This item contains no lithium batteries, so there are no special air travel restrictions to worry about.

Final tips for fast shipping

I have found that the fastest way to get my skincare is to choose the "Express" shipping option once my package arrives at my US address. In 2026, most packages reach the Netherlands in about 3 to 5 business days after leaving the US warehouse. I also make sure to provide my BSN or any necessary customs information to the parcel forwarding service ahead of time to ensure there are no delays with PostNL or local customs.

By using a package forwarding strategy combined with the BuyForMe service, I’ve managed to stay stocked up on Rhode without ever having to rely on expensive local resellers. If you are tired of waiting for European launches, this is definitely the path I recommend.
