My urgent alert on why buying Rhode Barrier Butter from Singapore resellers is a financial mistake in 2026

February 25, 2026

Why Rhode Barrier Butter is dominating my feed

I have spent the last few weeks watching Rhode Barrier Butter become a viral sensation on my TikTok feed. Hailey Bieber has created a product that every skincare enthusiast in Singapore seems to want, yet the official store still does not offer direct shipping to our region in 2026. This artificial scarcity has created a frantic market, but I believe we need to be smarter about how we acquire these products.

The massive price gap for Singaporean buyers

I recently performed a cost comparison between local Singaporean resellers and the official US retail price. The results were concerning. Local platforms are listing Rhode products at nearly double the original price. I realized that by using a tax-free us address, I could bypass these predatory markups entirely.

My strategy to shop US stores safely

To get my hands on this launch, I followed a strict process. First, I secured a US shipping address through a freight forwarder. This allowed me to shop US store sites as if I were a local resident. If you are new to this, I recommend checking this step-by-step guide to understand the logistics of parcel forwarding. It is the most reliable method I have found for Singapore delivery of US-exclusive items.

Why some US orders get cancelled and how we fix it

One of the most frustrating obstacles I encountered was the strict payment policies of certain US retailers. It is a common problem: many major brands, including Nike, Sephora, and Apple, often block international credit cards or automatically decline orders sent to known shipping hubs. This is a serious barrier for us in Singapore.

I found the solution in the BuyForMe service. When a store refused my Singaporean credit card, I used this proxy shopping option where the team at comGateway buys the item on my behalf using a US domestic card. This assisted purchase is the safest way to guarantee my order doesn't get cancelled at the checkout stage. I no longer worry about my transaction being flagged as "suspicious" just because I am shopping from overseas.

Estimating my total costs for Singapore delivery

I never finalize an order without knowing the final price. I always use a shipping calculator to estimate shipping cost before I commit. This transparency is vital for staying within my budget. For anyone looking to buy from US ship to Singapore, being aware of the weight and dimensions of your skincare haul will save you from surprises at the warehouse. If you have questions about consolidation or storage, the FAQ section is a great resource for support.

Important shipping rules for skincare imports

Before you ship liquid or cream products, you must be aware of local regulations. We must check the list of prohibited items to ensure our ship to Singapore request complies with shipping rules. Skincare is generally safe, but there are limits on quantities and specific ingredients that could be flagged as restricted goods.

I am convinced that taking these extra steps to import directly is the only way to avoid being exploited by the current 2026 market prices in Singapore. My experience has shown that with the right tools, we can access any global launch without the local markup.
