You can save $45 on the original Glossier Strawberry Balm Dotcom by avoiding Australian resellers

Why everyone is obsessed with the 2026 Strawberry return

If you have been keeping an eye on the beauty community lately, you know that the 2026 return of the original Glossier Strawberry Balm Dotcom formula is a massive deal. After years of the vegan formula, Glossier finally listened to the fans and brought back the lanolin-based goodness that we all loved. It has that perfect red tint and the nostalgic strawberry scent that actually lasts.

The problem? It is currently a US-only restock. While shoppers in New York can just walk into a store, those of us in Melbourne or Perth are seeing local resellers list these tubes for $75 or even $80 AUD. That is a huge markup for a lip balm that retails for $14 USD. The good news is that you don't have to settle for those prices. By using a parcel forwarding service, you can get the real deal directly from the source.

Busting the myth that shipping to Australia is too expensive

I see this all the time on Reddit: people think that if you want to ship to Australia from a US store, the shipping costs will be three times the price of the product. That is usually a myth, especially for small, light items like makeup. I found that you can save $45 by shipping directly from the US rather than paying the inflated prices on eBay or local marketplace groups.

When you use comGateway, you get a tax-free US address. This means you don't pay US sales tax when you buy from the Glossier website, which already saves you a few dollars. If you are worried about the final bill, you can always check a shipping calculator before you click buy. It makes the whole process transparent so you aren't surprised by the total.

How to shop US stores from Australia

Getting your hands on US exclusives is actually pretty straightforward once you have the right setup. First, you sign up for a parcel forwarding service to get your US suite address. Then, you head over to the Glossier site and shop US store items just like a local would. You enter your US address at checkout, and Glossier ships it there for free (usually if you spend over a certain amount).

If you find that the US store won't accept your Australian credit card—which happens sometimes with big brands—you can use the BuyForMe service. They will handle the purchase for you using a US-based payment method, so you don't have to stress about your order being cancelled. Once your Strawberry Balm arrives at the warehouse, you can check the international shipping rates and choose the delivery speed that fits your budget.

Shipping Estimates for your Glossier haul

To help you figure out your total spend, here are the typical logistics for a Glossier order. Since these tubes are small, they are very affordable to move across the ocean.

Because the items are so light, it is often smarter to buy a few tubes at once or combine your order with other US-exclusive beauty brands. This way, you maximize the international shipping fee you are already paying.

Handling GST and import rules

One thing to keep in mind for Australia delivery is the GST. Since 2018, Australia applies a 10% GST on low-value imported goods. Usually, your freight forwarder will help manage this at the point of shipping so your package doesn't get stuck in a warehouse. You can check out more details on how to handle import tax and GST/VAT on the comGateway blog.

Check our guide on import duties to make sure you aren't overpaying when your package hits Aussie soil. Most Glossier hauls fall well under the $1,000 AUD threshold for additional customs duties, making it a very smooth process for 2026 shoppers. Stop waiting for a local release that might never happen and get that original formula Strawberry tint today.
