Smoothing your Rhode to New Zealand with fresh lip tints and zero paperwork

March 16, 2026

It is March 2026, and Hailey Bieber’s Rhode brand shows no signs of slowing down. The Rhode Peptide Lip Tint (New Shades) collection has just dropped, and TikTok is currently a sea of glossy swatches and "get ready with me" videos. The hype remains focused on that specific high-shine, restorative formula that doubles as a treatment and a sheer pop of color. For those in New Zealand, seeing these US-exclusive bundles and limited-edition shades sell out in minutes is a familiar sting.

The 2026 palette includes deeper berries and soft pastels that are notoriously difficult to find outside of the official US storefront. While international expansion is often teased, the reality is that the freshest drops remain firmly behind the US border, making it a challenge for Kiwis to stay on-trend without a little help.

Overcoming the New Zealand shipping barrier

Trying to shop us ship international style often leads to a checkout error when you enter a Kiwi address. Rhode’s US site frequently restricts shipping to domestic addresses, leaving international fans out in the cold. This is where the "lazy method" comes in—a way to bypass the paperwork and geographical blocks without having to bribe a cousin in California to mail you a package.

Using the lazy method to shop US stores

The most efficient way to secure your gloss is by using a parcel forwarding service. This provides you with a tax-free us address that you can enter at checkout just like a local. Once your Rhode Peptide Lip Tint (New Shades) arrive at the warehouse, they are redirected straight to your doorstep in Auckland, Wellington, or anywhere else across the islands.

This method removes the stress of dealing with US retailers who don't offer direct international postage. By utilizing comGateway, you can consolidate multiple orders—perhaps some Rare Beauty or Glossier to go with your Rhode—into one single shipment to save on costs.

Shipping Estimates for Rhode Bundles

To help you prepare your beauty budget, here is a breakdown of what you can expect when shipping these specific items to New Zealand in 2026.

To get a precise figure for your specific location, we recommend using the shipping calculator before you place your order. This ensures there are no surprises when your package is ready to cross the Pacific.

Handling NZ import duties and taxes

When bringing luxury beauty products into New Zealand, it is important to be aware of the current GST/VAT rules. As of 2026, New Zealand Customs requires GST to be paid on most imported goods. In many cases, for low-value goods, this is handled at the point of sale or via your freight forwarder. Keeping your total order value under certain thresholds can often simplify the process. For a deeper look at how this works, you might also like to check the FAQ on the customs support page.
