I used a US freight forwarder to get the Salt & Stone Jumbo 3-Pack shipped to Hong Kong

Why I obsessed over the 2026 Salt & Stone Jumbo 3-Pack

If you have been following clean beauty trends this year, you know that Salt & Stone has basically taken over. Their 2026 deodorant gel formula is incredible—it actually lasts through a humid Hong Kong afternoon without that sticky feeling. While we can find individual sticks in some local boutiques, the US-exclusive Jumbo 3-Pack is where the real value is. I realized that by buying the bundle from a US store, I was getting nearly double the product for a much better price per ounce.

The problem, as usual, was that the US site wouldn't ship these specific bundles directly to my door in Kowloon. That is when I decided to take matters into my own hands and use a freight forwarder to bridge the gap. I wanted those Santal & Vetiver sticks enough to do a little bit of logistics legwork.

Comparing the costs: Hong Kong local vs US direct

I did some quick math before clicking buy. Locally, a single stick of Salt & Stone can run you upwards of $240 HKD. Buying three would set me back $720 HKD. The 2026 US Jumbo 3-Pack was priced at roughly $54 USD (about $420 HKD). Even after adding the cost of international shipping, I was still coming out ahead. Plus, the jumbo size isn't even available here yet.

To make sure I wasn't going to get hit with a surprise bill, I used a shipping calculator. It gave me a clear idea of what the total land cost would be. By using a tax-free us address from comGateway, I also avoided US sales tax, which saved me another 7-10% right off the top.

Shipping Estimates for your 2026 order

For those of you looking to replicate my haul, here is the data from my package to help you plan your budget. These are based on the standard 2026 Salt & Stone Jumbo 3-Pack packaging.

My step-by-step guide to using a US address

I started by signing up for a parcel forwarding service. It is much simpler than I thought it would be. Once I had my US address, I went to the Salt & Stone website, added the Jumbo 3-Pack to my cart, and used that address at checkout. If you are curious about the technicalities, you can check out this step-by-step guide which explains the process from warehouse to doorstep.

Once the package arrived at the warehouse in the US, I received a notification. I chose a freight forwarder that offered reliable tracking because I’m always a bit anxious when my skincare is crossing the Pacific. The international shipping service was surprisingly fast; my package moved from Oregon to Hong Kong in about 5 business days.

What I learned about import tax in Hong Kong

One of the best things about being a shopper in Hong Kong is our free port status. When I was looking into the import tax rules, I confirmed that for personal shipments of cosmetics and deodorants, we generally don't have to worry about extra duties. This makes package forwarding a very attractive option for us compared to shoppers in Europe or the UK.

If you have specific questions about restricted items or local delivery limits, I found the FAQ page very helpful. It covers most of the common concerns we face when we forward packages from the states to Asia.

Final thoughts on the international shipping experience

I am honestly so happy with how this turned out. I have enough deodorant to last me through the rest of 2026, and I saved a significant amount of money. If you are tired of waiting for local stock or paying the massive markup at high-end boutiques, I highly recommend looking into a freight forwarder to access these US exclusives.

Getting a ship to Hong Kong notification is always the highlight of my week. For more details on how to optimize your deliveries, check out the Hong Kong delivery page to see the latest rates. Happy shopping, and enjoy that Santal scent!
