My shortcut to getting the Summer Fridays Iced Coffee balm delivered to Germany fast

Why everyone is obsessed with Iced Coffee

I was scrolling through my feed last week and noticed that the Japanese beauty community is absolutely losing it over the Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm - 2026 'Iced Coffee' Edition. It’s a limited-run release that captures that perfect cool-toned brown tint with a scent that actually smells like a fresh brew. While it’s blowing up in Tokyo, the supply there is non-existent. My research showed that the most reliable stock is currently sitting in US Sephora stores.

Just a moment, securing your connection...

As someone living in Germany, I knew I couldn't just walk into a store and grab one. We often miss out on these niche US drops, or they take months to arrive. I wanted to find the quickest path to get this balm into my hands before the 2026 summer season ends. If you've been following us trends, you know that these limited editions vanish in days.

Getting it from Sephora US to your door

The main hurdle I faced was that Sephora US doesn't offer direct international shipping to Germany for most of its exclusive drops. This is where I decided to use a freight forwarder. By using comGateway, I was able to get a tax-free US address. This is a huge win because it means I don't pay US sales tax on the purchase, which helps offset the shipping costs later.

Sometimes, US stores can be picky about international credit cards. If you run into that, I found that the BuyForMe service is a total lifesaver. It’s a proxy shopping feature where they handle the actual purchase for you. I just sent them the link to the Iced Coffee balm, and they took care of the rest. If you're unsure about how it works, you can always check their FAQ for a quick rundown.

Shipping and logistics breakdown

Since I want to help you plan your budget, I put together an estimate of what this specific shipment looks like. A lip balm is tiny, so the international shipping cost is mostly determined by the minimum weight brackets of the carriers.

I highly recommend using the shipping calculator to see the exact price for Germany delivery based on whether you want DHL international shipping or FedEx international shipping. For a single lip balm, I usually wait and bundle it with a few other items to make the base shipping fee more worth it.

What you need to know about Germany delivery

Shipping to Germany involves dealing with the import tax (VAT). Since 2021, the de minimis threshold for VAT in the EU is gone, so expect to pay the 19% Einfuhrumsatzsteuer on your package. My experience is that if you use a premium package forwarding service, the customs clearance is much smoother. You can find more details on the ship to Germany page.

One thing I always check before ordering is the list of prohibited items. While lip balms are generally safe, some specific medicinal ointments can be restricted. This Summer Fridays balm is a standard cosmetic, so it shouldn't face any major issues at the German border.

The fastest way to order right now

If you want this balm before it sells out, here is the exact "speed run" method I used:

• Step 1: Sign up for a comGateway account to get your US address immediately.
• Step 2: Go to Sephora US and search for the 2026 Iced Coffee edition.
• Step 3: At checkout, use your new US shipping address.
• Step 4: Once the package hits the warehouse, select the fastest DHL international shipping option.
• Step 5: Pay the import tax online through the carrier's portal once it reaches Germany to avoid delivery delays.

I managed to get my package from the US warehouse to my door in Berlin in just 4 business days. For a viral 2026 release that isn't even officially in Europe yet, that's incredibly fast. You might also like our guide on how to bundle multiple beauty hauls to save on international shipping costs!
