Why the Iced Tea Edition is 2026's biggest drop

If you have been scrolling through social media lately, you have probably noticed the massive hype surrounding the Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm in the 2026 'Iced Tea' edition. Originally a viral sensation on Japanese social media, this specific tint has become a must-have for beauty enthusiasts in the Netherlands. The catch? The 'Iced Tea' version sold in the US has a unique pigment profile that is not available in local boutiques or European stockists.

Just a moment, securing your connection...

This seasonal drop is flying off the shelves at Sephora and the official Summer Fridays site. Because the demand is so high, Dutch shoppers are often forced to look at resellers who mark up the price significantly. However, there is a better way to get your hands on this balm without paying those inflated prices.

The blueprint for getting US exclusives to the Netherlands

Getting this balm to Amsterdam or Rotterdam requires a solid architectural plan for your shopping. Since Summer Fridays often limits their most popular seasonal drops to domestic US customers, you need a way to bridge the gap. You can save roughly €15 compared to local reseller markups by grouping your Sephora haul through a single package forwarding box.

The first step in your plan is to register for a tax-free US address. When you use a freight forwarder like comGateway, you get a dedicated suite number in a state like Oregon, which means you do not pay US sales tax on your purchase. This instantly lowers your initial cost before the item even starts its journey to the Netherlands.

If you are curious about the logistics, you can check out this step-by-step guide on how the process works from warehouse to your doorstep.

Why US stores block Dutch credit cards

One of the most frustrating parts of shopping US brands from the Netherlands is the checkout process. Many major retailers, including Sephora, Apple, and Nike, have strict security protocols that often block international credit cards. Even if your card is authorized for global use, these stores may decline the order if the billing address does not match a US domestic profile.

Furthermore, some stores automatically cancel orders if they detect they are being sent to a known freight forwarder address. This can make it feel almost impossible to secure a limited edition drop like the Iced Tea Lip Butter Balm before it sells out.

Using BuyForMe to secure your order

This is where the proxy shopping strategy comes into play. To avoid the headache of cancelled orders, you can use the comGateway "BuyForMe" service. Instead of trying to use your Dutch card, we buy the item on your behalf using a US domestic credit card.

The Benefit: This is the safest way to guarantee your order doesn't get cancelled. Since the transaction looks like a local US purchase, it bypasses the filters that usually stop international shoppers. This is especially vital for the Summer Fridays 2026 drop, as items sell out in minutes. You simply tell us what you want, and we handle the purchase, tracking, and delivery to our warehouse. For more details on this, visit our FAQ or help center.

Managing international shipping and import tax

Once your balm arrives at your US address, you have control over how it gets to you. You can use the shipping calculator to estimate shipping cost before you commit. If you are buying more than just the balm—perhaps some rare 2026 sneakers or other beauty products—you can combine multiple packages into one to save on international shipping rates.

Don't forget to account for the import tax when the package enters the Netherlands. The Dutch customs office will apply VAT based on the value of your goods. Check our guide on import duties to see how these fees are calculated for 2026. Understanding these costs upfront ensures there are no surprises when international shipping carriers like FedEx or DHL deliver to your door.
