Shipping the Rhode Jumbo size from the US saves you $50 compared to Singapore resellers

The math behind the Rhode Jumbo hype

Hailey Bieber’s Rhode has been a constant presence on our social feeds, but for those of us in Singapore, the struggle has always been the markups. As of February 2026, the standard 50ml Barrier Restore Cream is often sold by local resellers for anywhere between $70 to $85 SGD. That is a steep price for a mid-range moisturizer.

The recent release of the 100ml Jumbo Size in the US has changed the equation. Priced at $52 USD (~$70 SGD), you are getting double the product for essentially the price of one bottle in Singapore. Even when you factor in international shipping, you are looking at a total cost that is significantly lower than buying two standard bottles locally. By our calculations, you save about $50 SGD per 100ml when you shop us store directly rather than settling for local stock.

Myth versus reality: Is shipping skincare too expensive?

There is a common assumption in the Singapore skincare community that shipping a single item from the US isn't worth the freight costs. Many believe the delivery fee will wipe out any savings. However, this is a myth that ignores how a freight forwarder works. By using a tax-free us address in Oregon, you immediately save the 7-10% US sales tax that you would otherwise pay if you shipped to a friend in California or New York.

Furthermore, because the Rhode Jumbo tube is lightweight, it doesn't hit the high-weight brackets. You can use a shipping calculator to see that the cost of air freight for a small parcel is surprisingly manageable, especially if you bundle it with a few other US-exclusive beauty finds.

Shipping Estimates Breakdown

To help you plan your budget, here is what you can expect when shipping the Rhode Barrier Restore Cream (Jumbo Size) to Singapore:

Metric Estimate
Box Weight Approx. 0.6 lbs (0.3 kg) including mailer packaging
Box Dimensions Small (Approx. 8 x 3 x 3 inches)
Volumetric Warning Low. This item is dense and small, so you will likely be charged by actual weight rather than size.
Battery Check None. This is a topical cream and contains no lithium batteries or restricted electronics.

If you are worried about the checkout process, you can always refer to the FAQ for more details on restricted liquids, though standard creams are perfectly fine for DHL international shipping or FedEx international shipping.

Getting it to Singapore: A step-by-step guide

Since the Rhode official store does not offer direct Singapore delivery for the Jumbo size yet, you'll need to follow this how it works process:

  • Sign up for a free ship to Singapore account to get your US address.
  • Head to the Rhode Skin website and place your order using that address.
  • If you find that the US store is being picky with Singapore-issued credit cards, don't worry. You can use a proxy shopping service like the BuyForMe service. They will purchase the item on your behalf and handle the local US transaction.
  • Once your Jumbo cream arrives at the warehouse, you'll be notified to ship it home!

GST and import tax considerations for 2026

When bringing goods into Singapore, you need to stay updated on the latest import tax rules. In 2026, the GST applies to all goods imported via air or post, regardless of value. However, the process is streamlined. Usually, your freight forwarder will handle the GST payment on your behalf and bill you during the shipping checkout. For more details on how these charges are calculated, check our guide on import duties.

By purchasing the Jumbo size, you are maximizing the value of your shipment. Instead of paying shipping and GST for a small 50ml tube, you are spreading those fixed costs over a much larger volume of product. It is the smartest way to keep your skin barrier healthy without the reseller markup.
