Is getting the Summer Fridays Iced Coffee balm to the Netherlands actually worth the effort?

Is it actually possible to snag a Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm in the Iced Coffee shade without waiting months for a restock in Europe? If you have been scrolling through your feed lately, you know the 'Coffee-core' aesthetic has taken over 2026. This specific shade has become the crown jewel of that look, but for those of us living in the Netherlands, it feels like it is constantly sold out at local boutiques and major European retailers.

Why the Iced Coffee shade is dominating TikTok in 2026

The obsession with 'Coffee-core' has transformed how we look at daily beauty routines. Summer Fridays tapped into this perfectly with their Iced Coffee Lip Butter Balm. It provides that perfect sheer, cocoa-tinted glow that looks incredible on every skin tone. Because it has gone viral so many times, the supply in international markets simply cannot keep up with the demand. While boutiques in Amsterdam or Rotterdam might get a shipment, they are often cleared out within hours by shoppers looking for that authentic, vegan formula that actually stays hydrated.

Why shopping from US retailers is the best strategy

When the local shelves are empty, your best bet is to look at the source. US retailers like Sephora and the official Summer Fridays website tend to have much deeper inventory levels. Even when they do sell out, their restock cycles are significantly faster than what we see here in Europe. The challenge, of course, is that many of these stores do not offer direct Netherlands delivery or the shipping costs are high enough to make you think twice.

This is where using a freight forwarder becomes the most logical move. By using a service like comGateway, you get access to a tax-free us address. This allows you to shop us store sites as if you were living in Oregon or Delaware, avoiding US sales tax entirely before you even think about the overseas journey. If you find a store that doesn't accept international credit cards, you can even use a BuyForMe service to have a local agent handle the purchase for you.

The step-by-step plan for Netherlands delivery

If you want to ensure your package arrives safely, you need a solid plan. First, sign up for a package forwarding account. Once you have your US address, you can place your order for the balm (and maybe a few other US-exclusive treats to make the shipping worth it).

Once your items arrive at the warehouse, you can use the shipping calculator to estimate shipping cost for the final leg of the trip. Since the lip balm is small, it is often a great idea to forward packages from multiple stores together. Consolidation can significantly lower your overall international shipping rates compared to sending three or four small boxes separately.

Shipping estimates and box specifications

To help you plan your budget, here is what you can generally expect when shipping this specific product from the US to the Netherlands.

Before you finalize your shipment, always double-check the current international shipping fees to see which courier offers the best balance of speed and price for the 2026 season.

Importing beauty products into the Netherlands

When you buy from US ship to Netherlands, you should be aware of the local VAT and customs rules. Since 2021, the VAT exemption for small goods under €22 has been removed, so you will likely need to pay the standard 21% VAT on your purchase. Using a reliable parcel forwarding service ensures that all the necessary digital paperwork is ready for the Dutch customs authorities, which helps prevent your Iced Coffee balm from getting stuck in a warehouse in Schiphol.

Also, keep in mind the shipping rules regarding liquid or cream cosmetics. While lip balms are generally safe, some highly flammable aerosols or alcohol-based perfumes are considered restricted goods. Always verify the prohibited items list before adding extra items to your cart. By following this blueprint, you can stop hunting through empty local shelves and finally get that viral glow delivered straight to your doorstep.
