How I used a freight forwarder to get the Rhode Skin Jumbo 100ml to Malaysia without any hassle

Why I had to get the 100ml Rhode Skin Jumbo Edition

I have been a fan of Hailey Bieber’s Rhode line for a while, but the constant restocking of the small 50ml tubes was getting on my nerves. When I heard the 2026 US-exclusive 100ml Jumbo Edition of the Barrier Restore Cream was launching, I knew I needed it. It offers way better value, but there was one problem: it is only available on the US site and they do not ship directly to my house in Kuala Lumpur.

Buy It For Me

Just a moment, securing your connection...

I didn't want to deal with complicated customs forms or begging friends in the States to help me out. I just wanted a simple way to shop US store options and have my skincare arrive at my door. That is when I decided to use a comGateway account to bridge the gap.

Shipping Estimates and Logistics Breakdown

Before I clicked buy, I wanted to make sure I wasn't going to pay more for shipping than the actual cream. I used a shipping calculator to get a rough idea of the costs. Based on my experience with the 100ml tube, here is what you should expect for your logistics planning:

Choosing the right carrier

I usually prefer DHL international shipping for speed, but FedEx international shipping is also a great choice if you want to save a few ringgits while still getting reliable tracking. Since this is a skincare item, I made sure to choose a service that handles parcels carefully to avoid any leaks.

My lazy method for buying from US stores

The easiest way I found to do this without a US credit card or a US phone number was to use a package forwarding service that offers a tax-free US address in Oregon. This is the ultimate lazy hack because you don't pay any US sales tax, which saves about 7-10% right off the bat.

I simply signed up, got my unique address, and entered it at the Rhode checkout. If you find that a US store won't accept your Malaysian card, you can even use a proxy shopping service where they buy it for you. It really removes all the friction from the process.

How package forwarding made the process easier

I love how step-by-step guide resources make the whole thing feel manageable even if you have never shopped overseas before. Once my Jumbo Rhode cream arrived at the warehouse, I got an email notification. I could see the weight and even request a photo of the package to make sure it was the right 100ml edition.

I then chose my international shipping preference and paid the fee. Using a freight forwarder meant I didn't have to talk to anyone or fill out manual customs declarations; they handled the paperwork for me. It is honestly the most hands-off way to forward packages across the world.

What I learned about Malaysia import tax

One thing we have to be careful about in Malaysia is the import tax threshold. Currently, in 2026, the de minimis value is still around RM500. Since the Rhode Jumbo cream is priced around $58 USD (roughly RM260-RM280), I was well under the limit for a single tube. This meant I didn't have to pay any additional SST or duties upon arrival.

If you are planning to buy multiple tubes or other sets, I recommend keeping your total package value under that RM500 mark to keep your international shipping service costs predictable. If you go over, the courier will usually contact you to pay the tax online before delivery, which is still pretty easy but costs more.

I am so glad I didn't wait for a local reseller to mark up the price by 200%. My skin is hydrated, my wallet is happy, and the process was as lazy as it gets.
