I bought the US-exclusive Summer Fridays Iced Coffee Lip Balm for less than reseller prices

The Iced Coffee hype in 2026

I have spent the last week watching my social media feed fill up with the new Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm in Iced Coffee. This limited-edition shade is currently a US-exclusive release, and I noticed immediately that it is not available at local retailers like SpaceNK or Sephora EU. Because I live in the Netherlands, I knew I had to act fast before the stock disappeared or the reseller prices on secondary markets became ridiculous.

The Iced Coffee shade is trending because it offers that perfect neutral tint with a nostalgic scent that everyone seems to want right now. I keep an eye on us trends to see which limited editions are coming next, and this specific drop has been the most requested item of the month. I realized that if I wanted this balm at the retail price of $24 rather than paying a 300% markup to a local reseller, I had to shop directly from the source.

How I bought it from the US

My first step was securing a way to get the product from a US storefront to my door in the Netherlands. I used a tax-free us address provided by comGateway. This is essential because most US beauty brands do not ship directly to Europe, and even if they do, the shipping fees are often higher than the product itself. By using a package forwarder, I managed to consolidate my order and keep the costs manageable.

I simply entered my assigned US address at checkout on the Summer Fridays website. This allowed me to pay the domestic US price. If you are worried about what you can and cannot ship, I suggest you check our guide on restricted goods to ensure your beauty products meet international regulations.

Using BuyForMe for difficult stores

During my shopping process, I encountered a common hurdle. Many US stores, including some major beauty retailers, often block international credit cards or automatically decline orders sent to known shipping forwarders. I have had my orders cancelled in the past when trying to use my Dutch Mastercard on US-only sites.

I solved this by using the comGateway "BuyForMe" service. With this service, I just told them what I wanted to buy, and they used a US domestic credit card to purchase the Summer Fridays balm on my behalf. This is the safest way to guarantee an order doesn't get cancelled by a store's fraud filter. It saved me the frustration of seeing a "Transaction Declined" email after waiting days for a shipping confirmation. If you are struggling with a store that won't accept your local card, this proxy service is the most reliable workaround I have found.

Shipping estimates to the Netherlands

I wanted to make sure I wasn't spending more on shipping than on the balm itself. To stay prepared, I used the shipping calculator to get a rough idea of the costs before I clicked buy. Here are my estimates for this specific item:

Since the lip balm is very light, I found it much more cost-effective to buy two or three tubes, or to wait until I had other US purchases ready to ship. This way, the base shipping cost is spread across multiple items.

Dutch import rules and taxes

When my package arrived in the Netherlands, I had to account for local regulations. We have to pay import tax and VAT on items coming from outside the EU. In 2026, the rules for small packages remain strict, so I always make sure to declare the correct value of the goods to avoid delays at customs. My experience has shown that being honest about the value on the customs form is the fastest way to get the package cleared through PostNL or DHL.

Final thoughts on my purchase

I am very happy with my Iced Coffee Lip Butter Balm. It smells exactly like a fresh brew and the tint is perfect for my daily routine. By avoiding local resellers and shopping directly from the US, I saved a significant amount of money, even after accounting for the shipping costs. If you are looking to grab this limited edition shade before it sells out, I recommend using a freight forwarder and the BuyForMe service to ensure your order goes through without a hitch.
