I got the Summer Fridays Poolside Lip Oil in France for US prices using a freight forwarder

Why I needed the Poolside Edition

As soon as I saw the announcement for the Summer Fridays Dream Lip Oil in the 2026 'Poolside' limited edition shade, I knew I had to have it. This vibrant, sheer aquatic-tinted oil is the defining look for the 2026 summer season. However, if you live in France like I do, you know the struggle. These limited drops usually hit US stores like Sephora and the official Summer Fridays site months before they even appear on French shelves, if they arrive at all.

I didn't want to wait until winter to wear a summer shade, nor did I want to pay triple the price to a reseller on eBay. I decided to shop us store sites directly to get the product while it was still in stock.

US versus France pricing

The price gap is another reason I prefer buying directly from America. In the US, the Dream Lip Oil retails for $24. By the time it reaches France, between the currency conversion and the localized markup, we often see it priced at €32 or more. Even with the cost of international shipping, I find that I save money by bundling my beauty hauls. I used a freight forwarder to bridge the gap between the US warehouse and my home in Paris.

Avoiding cancelled orders with BuyForMe

My first attempt to buy the Poolside edition was a failure. I tried to use my French Visa card on the US Sephora website, but the order was cancelled within minutes. This is a common problem because many US retailers block international credit cards or flag orders sent to a package forwarding address. It is incredibly frustrating when you are trying to buy a high-demand item that sells out in hours.

I solved this by using the comGateway "BuyForMe" service. Instead of me struggling with the checkout, I told them what I wanted, and they bought the item on my behalf using a US domestic credit card. This is the most reliable way to ensure your order doesn't get cancelled by stores like Sephora, Nike, or Apple. It removes the stress of payment blocks and guarantees my spot in the queue for limited 2026 releases.

My step-by-step shipping process

Once the BuyForMe team confirmed my purchase, the lip oil was sent to my tax-free us address in Oregon. Using a tax-free state address saved me an additional 7% to 10% in US sales tax, which makes the price gap even wider in my favor.

I followed a simple step-by-step guide on the how it works page to manage my package. When the item arrived at the warehouse, I was notified immediately. I wanted to estimate shipping cost before committing to a carrier, so I used the shipping calculator provided on the site. I compared several international shipping rates and decided on a balance between speed and cost.

Choosing a carrier

For my France delivery, I usually choose between DHL international shipping or FedEx international shipping. For this specific lip oil, I chose a faster express option because I was eager to start using it. You can always check the latest international shipping fees to see which carrier is offering the best deal for your specific region.

Handling import tax for France delivery

When you buy from US ship to France, you must be aware of the import tax and VAT. Since 2021, all items entering the EU are subject to VAT. I prefer to use a freight forwarder that allows me to see these costs upfront or manage the customs documentation easily. My package arrived at my door in Lyon just five days after leaving the US warehouse, perfectly intact and ready for the summer sun. If you want to ship to France without the typical headaches of restricted US stores, using a proxy shopping service like BuyForMe is my top recommendation for 2026.
