I found a way to bypass US store blocks for the new Rhode Barrier Butter

Why the Rhode Barrier Butter hype is real in 2026

I have spent the last few weeks watching the Rhode Barrier Butter take over social media feeds from Tokyo to Los Angeles. In February 2026, Hailey Bieber’s brand has reached a new peak of popularity, specifically with this intensive moisture balm. While Rhode has expanded globally, this specific product remains a US-exclusive release for now, designed to provide that heavy-duty hydration necessary for the 'glass skin' look we all want.

More about shipping to Malaysia

I noticed that the Japanese market has already gone wild for it through resellers, but for those of us in Malaysia, getting our hands on a fresh drop directly from the source is the only way to ensure authenticity and a fair price.

The struggle of buying US-exclusive drops from Malaysia

I tried to purchase the Barrier Butter directly from the Rhode US website the moment it dropped. My transaction was immediately flagged. This is a common issue many of us face when shopping from Malaysia. US stores like Nike, Apple, and even boutique beauty brands often block international credit cards or simply refuse to ship to addresses they recognize as belonging to a warehouse.

I have seen many orders cancelled because the billing address didn't match the US shipping address, or because the store has a strict policy against a freight forwarder. It is frustrating to see 'In Stock' only to be met with a 'Transaction Declined' message at the final checkout stage.

My experience using BuyForMe to bypass order cancellations

I found the solution to this problem through the comGateway "BuyForMe" service. When a store like Rhode or Sephora US refuses my Malaysian credit card, I don't give up. Instead, I use this assisted purchase service. Here is how I did it: I provided the product link and details to the comGateway team, and they bought the item on my behalf using a US domestic credit card.

This is the safest way to guarantee your order doesn't get cancelled. Since the purchase is made by a US-based entity, the store sees it as a local transaction. I no longer have to worry about my payment being rejected or my account being flagged. It is a straightforward way to shop us store selections that are usually off-limits to us.

We use comGateway for tax-free shipping from the US

Once the BuyForMe team secured my Rhode Barrier Butter, it was sent to my tax-free us address in Oregon. One thing I appreciate about using comGateway is that Oregon has 0% sales tax. This saved me about 7-10% right off the bat compared to shipping to a warehouse in California or New York.

I rely on this freight forwarder because they provide a step-by-step guide on how to manage my packages once they arrive at the warehouse. I can choose to consolidate multiple items from different stores into one box, which significantly reduces the cost of international shipping. If you are new to this, you can see how it works on their main portal.

Costs and logistics for the Malaysian market

I always recommend checking the shipping calculator before committing to a large haul. For a single item like the Rhode Barrier Butter, the weight is minimal, but the international shipping service base rates still apply. I usually wait until I have three or four items to ship together to maximize the value of the parcel forwarding service.

We need to be realistic about the costs in 2026. You can estimate shipping cost easily to avoid surprises. For more details on the financial side, Read more: Will Rhode Barrier Butter shipping fees to Malaysia become a financial burden in 2026?

Customs and Import Tax in Malaysia

I keep a close eye on the de minimis value for Malaysia. As of early 2026, if your total shipment value (including shipping) exceeds RM500, you are likely to be hit with import duties and SST. I make it a point to keep my individual beauty hauls below this threshold when I forward packages to ensure a smooth delivery process without extra visits to the customs office.

Estimating your delivery timeline

My orders typically take about 3 to 5 business days to reach Kuala Lumpur once they leave the US warehouse. Using a premium international shipping option ensures that the skincare products are not sitting in a hot warehouse for weeks, which is vital for maintaining the integrity of the Barrier Butter's ingredients. I always choose the package forwarding option that includes tracking so I can see exactly when my package clears Malaysian customs.

I have found that the combination of a tax-free us address and the BuyForMe service is the only reliable way to keep up with these fast-moving US beauty trends. If you want to shop us ship international destinations like Malaysia without the headache of cancelled orders, this is the exact method I use every time.
