Why I almost gave up on getting the Rhode Peptide Lip Tint phone case in Singapore

Why Hailey Bieber's Rhode is taking over my feed

It started when I saw Hailey Bieber casually pull a lip tint out of the back of her phone. Like many people in Singapore, I was immediately hooked on the Rhode Peptide Lip Tint and the matching silicone phone case. In 2026, these products remain the ultimate status symbol for anyone keeping up with us trends. They are aesthetic, functional, and unfortunately, extremely difficult to get if you live outside the United States.

More about shipping to Singapore

I spent weeks watching TikToks of the "Rhode Phone Case" before I decided I had to have one. The problem? Rhode is primarily a US-based brand, and while their popularity is global, their shipping logistics are still quite restricted. For those of us in Singapore, the viral lip-tint-holding case is a US exclusive that feels just out of reach.

The invisible wall between me and my Rhode order

I thought I could just hop onto the Rhode website, enter my Singapore credit card details, and wait for the mail. I was wrong. I quickly realized that many high-demand US stores, including major names like Nike, Sephora, or Apple, often block international credit cards. Even when I tried to use a freight forwarder address, my order was flagged and cancelled almost immediately. This is the hidden barrier that many Singaporean shoppers face when trying to access popular products from the US.

It is frustrating to have the funds ready but be blocked simply because your billing address doesn't match a US zip code. I found that these stores are increasingly strict about shipping to known warehouse addresses, which makes the standard parcel forwarding service route a bit of a gamble for high-heat drops like Rhode.

How the BuyForMe service saved my purchase

After my second order cancellation, I decided to try a different approach. I discovered the BuyForMe service offered by comGateway. Instead of me struggling with my local card, I asked them to act as my proxy. I simply provided the product links, and they used a US domestic card to make the purchase on my behalf.

This was the safest way to guarantee my order didn't get cancelled. Because the transaction looks like a local US purchase, the store processed it without a hitch. If you are struggling with a store that refuses to ship to a freight forwarder, this proxy shopping method is honestly the only way to go. It took the stress out of the checkout process, especially during those 2026 restocks where every second counts.

Shipping the Rhode case from the US to Singapore

Once comGateway received my package at their tax-free us address, I was notified immediately. One of the perks I appreciate is that their warehouse is in Oregon, meaning I didn't have to pay any US sales tax on my Rhode order. From there, I used their international shipping service to get the items to my doorstep in Singapore.

I checked the shipping calculator beforehand to see how much I should budget. Since I was already ordering the phone case, I decided to look at other top us deals to bundle more items into one shipment. Consolidating packages is a great way to manage international shipping rates effectively.

My estimated shipping costs and specs

If you are planning to shop us store items like the Rhode kit, here is what you can expect for the logistics side of things:

• Box Weight: Approximately 0.4 kg (0.88 lbs) for the case and a couple of lip tints.
• Box Dimensions: Small (roughly 15cm x 10cm x 5cm). It is a very compact shipment.
• Volumetric Warning: The Rhode case is small and dense, so you won't get hit with high volumetric fees. However, if you add a large plushie or a puffer jacket to your order, always check the shipping fees as the size might cost more than the actual weight.
• Battery Check: This item contains no lithium batteries, so there are no special handling surcharges or restrictions for air travel.

What I learned about Singapore import rules in 2026

When you shop us ship international, you have to keep Singapore's GST rules in mind. In 2026, the GST is applied to all goods imported into Singapore, regardless of the value. I made sure to factor this into my total cost when using the international shipping platform.

Using a reliable parcel forwarding service makes the customs declaration process much smoother. They handle the paperwork, and I just pay the GST through the portal. It’s a seamless way to bring a piece of US viral culture back home without the headache of handling customs myself. My Rhode case arrived in perfect condition, and it’s every bit as satisfying to use as the videos promised.
