I found the simplest way to ship Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm to Australia

Why I joined the Summer Fridays craze

I noticed the Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm becoming a viral sensation across social media, particularly within the Indian beauty community. While it is a rising star over there, we in Australia face a similar problem: limited local stock and high prices. This balm is famous for its vegan formula and the way it adds a perfect sheen without being sticky. In early 2026, the demand has only intensified, especially for specific shades like Pink Sugar and Cherry.

I wanted the full collection, but waiting for local retailers to restock felt like a waste of time. I decided to take the direct route and buy from the source in the United States. Read more: The reality of getting US-exclusive Summer Fridays balms to Australia faster than local shipping.

My strategy to shop US stores

When I want the latest beauty drops, I always shop US store sites directly. The variety is better, and the prices are often significantly lower than what we see on Australian shelves. My first stop is usually the official Summer Fridays website or Sephora US. I found that even with the currency conversion, I was coming out ahead.

How I use a freight forwarder to skip the wait

The main obstacle for most Australians is that these US stores do not offer direct shipping to our neck of the woods. I solved this by using comGateway. They provide me with a tax-free US address located in Oregon. This means when I buy my lip balms, I do not pay any US sales tax, which usually saves me around 7% to 10% immediately.

As a freight forwarder, they receive my packages and then send them over to me in Australia. It is a seamless process that removes the frustration of seeing "this item does not ship to your location" at checkout. If you are new to this, you can check their FAQ or support section to see how the warehouse handling works.

Why I rely on the BuyForMe service for difficult checkouts

I have encountered situations where a US store, such as Sephora or Apple, declines my Australian credit card. These stores often block international cards or orders sent to known shipping hubs. This is where I use proxy shopping. Specifically, I use the comGateway BuyForMe service.

The process is simple: I tell them what I want, and they buy it on my behalf using a US domestic credit card. This is the safest way to guarantee my order doesn't get cancelled by picky retailers. If you have ever had a "Birthday Cake" balm order cancelled at the last second, you know how annoying it can be.

Estimating costs and handling import tax

Before I commit to a purchase, I always use the shipping calculator. It helps me estimate shipping cost based on the weight of the items. Since lip balms are lightweight, I often wait until I have a few items and then use the consolidation service to save on international shipping rates.

In Australia, we need to be mindful of import tax (GST). Since 2026 regulations remain strict, I make sure to factor this into my budget. However, because lip balms are small and relatively low-value, the customs process is usually very straightforward. I prefer knowing my shipping fees upfront so there are no surprises when the package hits the border. You can view the current international shipping rates on their website to plan your haul.

Getting fast international shipping

I value speed. Once my Summer Fridays order arrives at the warehouse, I choose my preferred carrier. I typically go with DHL international shipping or FedEx international shipping because they are reliable and provide excellent tracking. My international shipping experience with comGateway has generally been fast, with packages arriving at my door in Sydney within 5 to 8 business days.

I find this method far more efficient than waiting for a local distributor to announce a restock that sells out in seconds. By using a freight forwarder and the BuyForMe service, I get exactly what I want from the US without any of the traditional shopping hurdles.
