Why I am using a freight forwarder to get the Rhode Lip Boost in Belgium before everyone else
The Sugarmint Hype in 2026
I have been obsessed with Hailey Bieber's Rhode line for a while now, and the new sugarmint Peptide Lip Boost is all over my feed. It is currently trending because of its overnight plumping effects, but there is one major problem: it is a US-first launch. As someone living in Belgium, I was tired of waiting months for local stores to catch up. I wanted that viral scent and the glossy finish now, not in six months.

US Pricing vs. Belgian Resellers
The price gap is real. I noticed that when these items finally hit European markets or secondary resellers, the price doubles. By shopping directly from the US, I get the authentic product at the original price. Even with the cost of shipping, I often find it's better value than paying a premium to a local reseller who marked up the price by 50%.
How I use a Freight Forwarder
To get my haul, I signed up with comGateway. They provide me with a tax-free us address which I use at checkout on the Rhode website. Once the package arrives at their warehouse, they forward it to my doorstep in Belgium. It is a simple how it works process that has saved me so much frustration.
Using a package forwarding service is the only way I can access these exclusive US drops. I simply shop the US store like I live there, and comGateway handles the rest of the journey to Europe.
Shipping Estimates for Rhode
I know many of you are worried about the cost of moving a small lip treatment across the ocean. To help you plan, I put together these estimates based on my recent orders. You can also use the estimate shipping cost tool for more accuracy.
| Factor | Details |
|---|---|
| Box Weight | Approx. 0.1 kg to 0.2 kg (it is very light!) |
| Box Dimensions | Small mailer or a tiny box (e.g., 15x10x5 cm) |
| Volumetric Warning | No risk here. Since it is small and dense, you will be charged by actual weight. |
| Battery Check | No lithium batteries contained in this item. |
Solving Order Cancellations with BuyForMe
I have faced a few issues where US stores block my Belgian credit card or refuse to ship to a known freight forwarder. This is where I use the "BuyForMe" service. It is a form of proxy shopping where comGateway uses their own US domestic payment methods to buy the product for me. This is the safest way to guarantee my order doesn't get cancelled by picky retailers like Rhode or Sephora. It takes the stress out of the purchase process entirely.
Dealing with Import Tax in Belgium
When my package arrives in Belgium, I do have to keep import tax in mind. For items coming from the US, VAT is usually applicable. However, by using a reliable international shipping service, the customs documentation is handled professionally. I always check the FAQ on the site if I have questions about specific Belgian customs limits for beauty products. My packages usually arrive via DHL international shipping or FedEx international shipping, which means they get through customs quickly and I can track them every step of the way.
