I’m breaking the barrier to get this 100ml Drunk Elephant jumbo from the US for my SG routine

Why the 100ml Jumbo Size is a Better Deal

I have been tracking the latest us trends, and the Drunk Elephant Bora Barrier Repair Cream has quickly become a 'Rising Star' in beauty circles. While we can find the standard sizes at local retailers in Singapore, the 100ml Jumbo size remains a US-exclusive. I did the math, and even when you factor in the cost of a freight forwarder, the price per milliliter is significantly lower when buying from the States.

Buy It For Me

My skin has been craving that lipid-rich moisture, especially with the humidity and constant air-conditioning here. The Jumbo size isn't just about the product; it's about the value. By choosing to shop us store options, I managed to secure a supply that lasts twice as long for a fraction of the price of buying two smaller jars locally.

The Logistics of Glow: Shipping Estimates for SG

Before I committed to the purchase, I used the shipping calculator to see if the weight would make it too expensive. Here is what I found for this specific item:

Since the item is relatively light, I found that using an international shipping service is very cost-effective, especially if you consolidate it with other skincare favorites to maximize your shipping fee.

How I bypassed payment blocks with the BuyForMe service

I ran into a bit of a snag when I first tried to order from certain US beauty retailers. Many of these stores are notorious for blocking international credit cards or simply cancelling orders that use a known forwarding address. This is where I decided to use the BuyForMe service.

The problem is frustrating: you have the funds, but the store's security system flags your Singaporean billing address. By using proxy shopping, I let comGateway handle the transaction. They used a US-based card to buy the Bora Barrier on my behalf, ensuring the order went through smoothly. It is honestly the safest way to guarantee your order doesn't get stuck in 'cancellation limbo' when dealing with picky US storefronts.

My Step-by-Step Guide to getting it home

If you are wondering how it works, the process was quite simple for me. I signed up for my tax-free us address in Oregon, which saved me from paying any US sales tax. Once I had that address, I placed my order (or used the BuyForMe option).

Once the package arrived at the warehouse, I was notified immediately. I chose my preferred carrier—I usually go with DHL international shipping for speed or FedEx international shipping if I want to save a few dollars. My package arrived in Singapore within 5 business days, perfectly intact.

A quick note on import tax for Singaporeans

In 2026, we have to be mindful of the 9% GST on all imported goods. When you use a package forwarding service, they help streamline the import tax process. I always make sure to declare the value of my Drunk Elephant haul accurately to avoid any delays at Singapore Customs. Even with the tax and shipping fees, the Jumbo size remains a much smarter financial move than buying the 50ml version locally.
