My plan for getting Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm Iced Coffee to Malaysia

Why Iced Coffee is the current aesthetic

I have noticed a massive shift in the beauty landscape in early 2026. Following the intense hype surrounding Rhode last year, Summer Fridays has established itself as the premier US beauty export for the Malaysian Gen-Z crowd. The specific draw right now is the Lip Butter Balm in the 'Iced Coffee' shade. I find it to be the perfect neutral aesthetic—a subtle, creamy cocoa tint that smells exactly like a cold brew. It is a seasonal exclusive, which means it is rarely in stock, making the search for it quite a challenge.

More about shipping to Malaysia

I always keep an eye on the latest us trends to see which shades are dropping next, and Iced Coffee is currently the most sought-after item. Because it is a US-centric release, we often have to wait months for local retailers to get stock, if they ever do. My strategy is to go straight to the source.

My plan for sourcing from US stores

I buy my beauty products directly from US retailers like Sephora US or the official Summer Fridays website. These stores offer the full range of products that we simply cannot find in Kuala Lumpur or Penang. To do this, I use a tax-free US address provided by a freight forwarder. This allows me to shop like a local and avoid the immediate high costs of direct international shipping from a single brand's site.

I've found that by sending my items to a warehouse in Oregon, I save on US sales tax, which I can then put toward my shipping costs. I always check the shipping calculator before I place an order so I have a clear idea of what the final cost to Malaysia will be. This prevents any surprises when the package is ready to fly across the Pacific.

How I bypass US payment restrictions

I have faced many frustrations when trying to check out on US websites. Stores like Sephora or even the main Summer Fridays site frequently block international credit cards or decline orders sent to a freight forwarder address. We often see our orders cancelled within minutes because our billing addresses are in Malaysia.

I solve this by using the BuyForMe service. This is a proxy shopping solution where comGateway purchases the item on my behalf using a US domestic credit card. I simply provide the product link, and they handle the transaction. I have found this to be the safest way to guarantee my order doesn't get cancelled, especially for high-demand drops like the Iced Coffee balm where every second counts before stock runs out.

Shipping weight and size estimates

I have put together some estimates to help you plan your shipment for the Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm. Since this is a small beauty item, the costs are usually very manageable if you consolidate them with other purchases.

I recommend shipping multiple items together. Since a single lip balm is so light, the first half-kilogram is the most expensive part of shipping. I usually add a few more items to my cart to maximize the value of the international shipping service.

International shipping to Malaysia

I rely on a streamlined process to ship to Malaysia. Once my Iced Coffee balm arrives at the US warehouse, I receive a notification. I then choose my preferred courier—usually DHL or FedEx—to bring it to my door. My experience has shown that shipping to Malaysia typically takes 5 to 8 business days once the package leaves the US facility.

I find that the tracking provided by an international shipping service is essential for peace of mind. I can see exactly when my package clears customs in Sepang and when it is out for delivery to my house. This reliability is why I prefer this method over standard postal services which can take weeks.

Handling import duties and tax

I always consider the financial aspect of importing goods into Malaysia in 2026. For small beauty purchases, you should be aware of the Sales and Service Tax (SST) and potential import duties. Generally, items under a certain value (De Minimis) may be exempt, but these rules can change.

Check our guide on import tax to stay updated on the latest 2026 thresholds for Malaysia. I make it a habit to calculate the total landed cost—including the product price, shipping, and any potential import tax—before I finalize my order. This direct approach ensures that I stay within my budget while still getting the US exclusives I want. Following this blueprint has made my 2026 shopping much more efficient.
