My alert on the Salt & Stone shortage in Singapore and why I use a freight forwarder instead

The Salt & Stone shortage in Singapore

I have spent months tracking the availability of Salt & Stone Natural Deodorant in Singapore, and the situation is dire. While this brand has become a global sensation for its perfume-grade scents like Bergamot & Hinoki, the local stock is consistently depleted. We are often left with marked-up prices from third-party resellers who cannot guarantee freshness. I realized quickly that if I wanted the full range of scents and the newest formulations, I had to look toward the source: the United States.

Why I choose to shop US stores directly

My experience has shown me that US retailers maintain the most consistent inventory. When I shop US store sites, I get access to limited edition collaborations and bulk discounts that simply do not exist in the Singapore market. However, many of these brands do not offer direct shipping to Southeast Asia, or if they do, the costs are prohibitive. This is why I rely on a tax-free US address to bridge the gap.

Check our guide on: Does the retail markup on Salt & Stone in Singapore justify a direct US purchase?. I found that even with shipping costs, my total spend was lower than buying from a local luxury reseller.

My step-by-step guide to international shipping

I often get asked how I manage to get these items delivered so quickly. The how it works process is actually quite straightforward. I use a freight forwarder to receive my packages in the US, which then consolidates them and handles the international shipping to my doorstep in Singapore. This method gives me control over which carrier I use, whether I prefer DHL international shipping for speed or FedEx international shipping for reliability.

Shipping estimates for your deodorant haul

To help you plan your budget, I have prepared an estimate based on my recent orders of Salt & Stone products. You can also use the shipping calculator to estimate shipping cost for your specific order size.

Always verify the latest shipping rules to ensure no prohibited items are included in your shipment, though standard deodorants are perfectly safe for air travel.

Why the BuyForMe service is critical for luxury skincare

I have faced a major hurdle when shopping at certain high-end US beauty boutiques: they frequently block international credit cards. I have had orders from Sephora and other major retailers declined simply because my billing address was in Singapore. This is incredibly frustrating when you are trying to secure a trending item before it sells out.

My solution is the BuyForMe service. This proxy shopping feature allows the team at comGateway to purchase the items on my behalf using a US domestic credit card. By using this assisted purchase method, I avoid the risk of order cancellations and ensure that my Salt & Stone stash is secured the moment it hits the shelves. It is the only way I can guarantee my order goes through on difficult websites.

Dealing with Singapore import tax in 2026

As we move through 2026, it is vital to remember the import tax regulations in Singapore. Every shipment coming into the country is subject to GST. I make it a point to calculate these costs upfront so there are no surprises when my package arrives. Using a freight forwarder allows me to see these costs clearly before the final leg of the journey. While the tax is unavoidable, the savings I find by shopping US sales often outweigh the GST expense entirely. I believe that being informed is the best way to maintain a luxury lifestyle without the local price gouging.
