I saved 60 NZD on the Rhode Skin Summer 2026 Bundle by ordering from the US

Why I wanted the Rhode Skin Summer 2026 Bundle

I have followed Hailey Bieber’s brand since its inception, but the Rhode Skin Summer 2026 Bundle is on another level. The viral hype surrounding the new Pocket Blush shades has made them almost impossible to find in New Zealand. Every time I checked local resellers or international stockists, the items were either sold out or marked up to double the original price. I realized that the only way to get my hands on the full set was to go straight to the source: the US Rhode store.

Just a moment, securing your connection...

The Summer 2026 collection features cream-to-powder finishes that are perfect for the humid weather we expect later this year. I noticed that the US store restocks much more frequently than any other region. By using a tax-free US address from comGateway, I managed to secure my bundle during a Tuesday morning restock while everyone else in Auckland was still sleeping.

The price gap between the US and New Zealand

I did the math before I clicked buy. In the US, the Pocket Blush bundle retails for approximately $130 USD. When I looked at what people were charging in New Zealand, the prices were often upwards of $280 NZD. Even after accounting for the exchange rate and shipping, I saved about 60 NZD by managing the purchase myself. We often pay a "distance tax" in New Zealand that I find unnecessary if you know how to use a freight forwarder.

My experience with US-exclusive sticker packs

One detail I loved about the US version of the Summer 2026 bundle was the inclusion of the exclusive 'Sticker Pack.' These are not available on the international shipping versions of the site. These small custom decals allow you to personalize your Peptide Lip Treatment or the Pocket Blush compacts. I wanted the full experience, and shopping like a US local was the only way to get these extras. I simply signed up for a international shipping service to bridge the gap between the warehouse in Oregon and my front door.

Why my New Zealand credit card was declined at checkout

I hit a major snag when I first tried to pay. Many major US retailers, including brands like Sephora, Apple, and even Rhode Skin, have strict fraud prevention filters. I found that my New Zealand-issued Visa card was being automatically declined because the billing address didn't match a US residency. Furthermore, some stores specifically block orders if they detect a known warehouse address. I was worried my order would be cancelled and I would lose the limited-edition shades.

I used BuyForMe to secure my order

I decided to use the "BuyForMe" service offered by comGateway to solve this payment issue. Instead of me trying to force my NZ credit card through their system, I asked comGateway to buy the items on my behalf. They used a domestic US credit card and their own purchasing agents to complete the transaction. This is the safest way I have found to guarantee that an order doesn't get flagged or cancelled by picky US merchants. It took the stress out of the process, and I knew my bundle was secured the moment they sent the confirmation email.

How I forwarded my package to New Zealand

Once the package arrived at my US address, I needed to forward packages to my home in New Zealand. I trust comGateway for this because they offer a streamlined dashboard where I can see photos of my items. I chose to consolidate my Rhode order with a few other items I bought from Nike to save on the total cost. This international shipping method is much more efficient than paying individual shipping fees for every single item.

I calculated my shipping and import costs beforehand

I didn't want any surprises when my package hit the border. I used a shipping calculator to get an estimate of what the transit would cost from the US to New Zealand. I also made sure to check the current rules for import duties and GST. In New Zealand, you need to be aware of the 15% GST that may apply to imported goods. You might also like to check our guide on import tax to see how these fees are calculated for different product categories.

Checking for restricted goods before shipping

Before I finalized the shipment, I did a quick search on prohibited items. Since the Pocket Blush is a cream product, it is generally safe to ship, but some aerosol sprays or high-alcohol perfumes in the same beauty category can be restricted. I always check the restricted goods list before I buy anything liquid or chemical-based from the US. If you have questions about a specific product, I recommend visiting the FAQ page or contacting their support team to avoid your package being held up.

My Rhode Skin Summer 2026 Bundle arrived in perfect condition. By navigating the US store directly and using a proxy service for payment, I bypassed the stock shortages and the inflated prices we usually see in New Zealand.
