Why I ship Rhode Peptide Lip Tints from the USA to Australia to beat reseller prices

The obsession with new Rhode Peptide Lip Tint shades

I have watched every single one of Hailey Bieber’s Rhode Skin drops since the brand launched, but the 2026 expansion of the Peptide Lip Tint line is on another level. The new shades have been selling out within minutes in the US. In Australia, we are often left waiting months for local stockists to catch up, or we are forced to deal with resellers who hike the prices up to double the original retail value. I decided I was done waiting and started ordering my beauty hauls directly from the source.

More about shipping to Australia

The appeal of the Peptide Lip Tint isn't just the brand name; the formula actually works for my chronically dry lips. With the latest 2026 shades offering deeper berries and soft neutrals, I knew I had to get them before the limited-edition bundles disappeared. I keep an eye on US trends to make sure I’m ready when the drop happens, as these bundles are often exclusive to the American storefront.

Comparing the US price vs Australian resellers

When I looked at the prices in February 2026, the gap was startling. A single Peptide Lip Tint on the official US site retails for around $16 USD. Meanwhile, Australian resellers are often charging upwards of $45 AUD plus domestic shipping. Even with the exchange rate, buying four tints in a bundle from the US works out significantly cheaper per unit. I found that by using a tax-free US address provided by a forwarder, I could avoid US sales tax entirely, widening the savings gap even further.

My method for shopping the US Rhode store from Australia

I don't let the "US Only" shipping label stop me anymore. My process is straightforward. I use a parcel forwarding service to bridge the gap. When I check out on the Rhode Skin website, I simply enter my dedicated US warehouse address instead of my home address in Sydney. This allows me to shop US store sites as if I were living in Oregon or Delaware.

Once my lip tints arrive at the warehouse, I get a notification. I can then choose to ship them immediately or wait for other packages to arrive so I can consolidate them. Consolidating multiple orders into one box is how I usually save the most money on international transit.

Why I use the BuyForMe service for difficult US checkouts

I have run into a frustrating problem more than once: some major US retailers like Nike, Sephora, or even Apple often block international credit cards. I've had orders for limited-edition drops cancelled because my payment method was registered in Australia, or because I tried to send it to a known freight forwarder. It is a massive headache when you are trying to snag a high-demand item before it sells out.

To get around this, I started using the comGateway BuyForMe service. This is an assisted purchase option where I tell them what I want, and they buy the item on my behalf using a US domestic credit card. Because the payment comes from a US-based card and a US-based buyer, the order is far less likely to be flagged or cancelled. I find this is the safest way to guarantee my order actually goes through during a high-traffic product launch. If you are tired of seeing "Order Cancelled" emails, this proxy shopping method is the most reliable solution I have found.

Calculating my shipping costs to Australia

I never guess what I am going to pay for shipping. Before I commit to a purchase, I use the shipping calculator to get an idea of the total cost. Since lip tints are small and lightweight, they are very cheap to move. I usually wait until I have a few items—maybe some clothes from Nordstrom or tech from Amazon—and then forward packages all at once.

In my experience, the speed of delivery from the US to Australia has improved in 2026. I typically see my packages at my door in Melbourne or Brisbane within 5 to 8 business days once they leave the US warehouse. To estimate shipping cost accurately, I just input the weight and dimensions, which helps me decide if the US price gap is worth it. Spoiler: for Rhode Skin, it almost always is.

What I need to know about Australian import taxes in 2026

I make sure to stay informed about Australian customs regulations. As of 2026, the 10% GST still applies to low-value imports (items under $1,000 AUD). Most of the time, the freight forwarder handles the collection of this tax at the point of international shipping, so I don't have to deal with unexpected bills when the courier arrives at my house. Since my Rhode Skin hauls are usually well under the $1,000 threshold, I don't have to worry about additional import duties, just the standard GST. This makes the process much simpler than people think.

By taking control of where I shop, I have managed to keep my 2026 beauty routine updated with the latest Rhode shades without being taken advantage of by local price gouging. My advice is to stop waiting for local releases and start using a reliable US address to get what you want, when you want it.
