Is using a freight forwarder to get the Summer Fridays Jumbo Balm to the Netherlands worth the cost?

Why the 2026 Jumbo Edition is trending

The Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm in 'Pink Sugar' has reached a new level of demand in 2026. This year, the brand released a Jumbo Edition exclusively for the US market. For beauty enthusiasts in the Netherlands, this isn't just about owning a limited item; it is about the math. The Jumbo size offers double the product of the standard tube, significantly lowering the cost per ounce. Since this version is currently a Sephora US exclusive, Dutch shoppers are turning to comGateway to secure their supply before stock runs out.

US Sephora vs local beauty shops: A price check

When comparing the availability of Summer Fridays products, the gap between regions is clear. Local retailers in Amsterdam or Rotterdam often carry the standard 15g tubes, but the 2026 Jumbo Edition remains out of reach. US Direct Shipping vs comGateway: A price check for Dutch shoppers reveals that even with shipping costs, the bulk value of the Jumbo tube often outweighs the price of buying multiple standard tubes locally. To get a precise breakdown of these costs, you should use a shipping calculator to estimate shipping cost based on the weight of your total haul.

The checkout problem: Why Sephora blocks Dutch cards

Buying from major US retailers like Sephora, Nike, or Apple is rarely straightforward for residents of the Netherlands. These stores frequently block international credit cards or automatically decline orders that use a known **package forwarding** address at checkout. This practice is meant to prevent fraud, but it often stops legitimate Dutch customers from accessing US-only releases. If your order is repeatedly cancelled, it is likely due to your payment method's billing address not matching a US domestic profile.

Proxy shopping via the BuyForMe service

The most effective way to bypass these retail blocks is through proxy shopping. Instead of risking a cancelled transaction, you can use the comGateway BuyForMe service. Under this **assisted purchase** model, we buy the item on your behalf using a US domestic credit card. This guarantees that the store accepts the order. This is the safest way to ensure your Summer Fridays Jumbo Balm is secured and shipped to our warehouse without administrative delays. You can find more details on how to start an order in our FAQ or support section.

International shipping to the Netherlands

Once your balm arrives at our warehouse, you benefit from a tax-free us address, which eliminates US sales tax on your purchase. From there, we handle the **international shipping** to your doorstep. Whether you prefer **DHL international shipping** for speed or **FedEx international shipping** for reliability, we provide the options necessary for a smooth Netherlands delivery. Choosing a reputable **freight forwarder** ensures that your package is handled correctly and arrives in pristine condition.

Import tax and final costs

When you buy from US ship to Netherlands, you must account for the local **import tax** and VAT. In the Netherlands, the standard VAT rate is 21%, and items exceeding a certain value may be subject to additional customs duties. We recommend consolidating multiple items into one shipment to reduce the per-item shipping fee. By combining your Summer Fridays order with other US exclusives, you maximize the efficiency of your **freight forwarder** and reduce the overall impact of the landing costs.
