The exact steps I took to ship the Rhode Skin Summer Glaze set to China in 2026

May 05, 2026

Why the Summer Glaze set is so hard to find

I have been tracking Hailey Bieber’s brand for a while, and the Rhode Skin "Summer Glaze" Peptide Lip Tint Set is easily the most anticipated drop of 2026. If you live in China like I do, you know the struggle. These limited edition bundles hit the US site and disappear in minutes, often months before the brand even considers international shipping. Since I didn't want to pay triple the price to a reseller, I decided to map out a way to get it directly from the source.

I noticed that the US store often features these us trends and exclusive products that aren't available elsewhere. The Summer Glaze set is particularly popular because it combines four full-sized tints with a limited-edition summer finish that isn't sold individually. To get mine, I had to think like a local US shopper.

My plan to buy from the US store

The first thing I realized is that Rhode Skin’s US website is the only place to get the bundle at the retail price. However, they don't ship directly to China. I needed a reliable freight forwarder to bridge the gap. By using a US-based address, I could bypass the geographical restrictions and ensure my order was processed just like a domestic US customer's would be.

I’ve found that the most efficient way to handle this is to have a dedicated tax-free us address in Oregon. This saved me about 7-10% in US sales tax immediately, which I then put toward my international shipping rates. It’s a small detail that makes a big difference when you're importing luxury skincare.

Using a freight forwarder for a tax-free US address

When I shop us store sites, I always use comGateway. They provide a suite of tools that make the process feel seamless. Once the Rhode set arrived at my US address, I received a notification and could see the actual weight of the package. If you are worried about costs, I highly recommend using their shipping calculator before you even place your order. It helped me visualize the total landed cost including the journey to my doorstep.

Why I used the BuyForMe service for Rhode Skin

Here is where things got tricky for me. Many high-demand US stores, including Rhode Skin, Sephora, and even Nike, have started implementing strict filters. They often block international credit cards or automatically decline orders that are sent to known shipping hubs. My first attempt with my local card was cancelled within ten minutes.

This is why I switched to the BuyForMe service. Essentially, I told the comGateway team what I wanted, and they used a US domestic payment method to buy the item on my behalf. This proxy shopping method is the safest way to guarantee your order doesn't get flagged. If you've ever dealt with a cancelled order on a limited drop, you know how frustrating it is. Using the assisted purchase option took that stress away entirely.

Shipping estimates for your lip tint bundle

To help you plan your budget, I’ve put together some estimates based on my own experience with the "Summer Glaze" set. Lip tints are small, but the packaging for these sets can be surprisingly sturdy.

Metric Estimate
Box Weight Approx. 1.1 lbs (0.5 kg)
Box Dimensions Small (Approx. 7 x 5 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 item does not contain lithium batteries and is safe for standard air travel.

If you have more questions about specific item types, I always check the FAQ or their help center to make sure I'm not buying anything restricted.

Getting your package to China

Once my package was ready at the warehouse, I chose the fastest shipping option for my China delivery. Since the lip tints are liquid-adjacent (gels/creams), I wanted to ensure they weren't sitting in a hot transit hub for too long. My buy from US ship to China experience took about 8 business days from the warehouse to my door in Shanghai.

Regarding import tax, remember that China has specific thresholds for personal imports. I usually keep my beauty hauls under a certain value to simplify customs clearance. If you are unsure about the current 2026 regulations, the comGateway support team is quite helpful with international shipping queries. Using a reputable package forwarding service made the whole process of getting the Rhode Skin Summer Glaze set feel like I was just ordering from a local app.
