I found a way to get the new Merit 100ml Great Skin Moisturizer delivered to Taipei in record time

Why I am obsessed with the Merit Great Skin Jumbo Edition

I have been waiting for Merit Beauty to launch a heavy-duty version of their skincare line for months. This week, they finally released 'The Great Skin' Moisturizer in a massive 100ml Jumbo Edition. The problem? It is a US-exclusive value size. I checked my usual spots like Cult Beauty in the UK, but they don't have it. Because this product is currently restricted to the US market, I had to find a creative way to get it to my doorstep here in Taiwan.

The 100ml size is such a better value compared to the standard bottle. Since I use this moisturizer every single morning, I knew I needed to shop US store options to get the best deal. I wanted the fastest path possible because I didn't want to wait weeks for a standard international shipment that might get lost.

My secret to fast Taiwan delivery from US stores

I used a reliable freight forwarder to bridge the gap between New York and Taipei. By using comGateway, I was able to get a tax-free US address which I used at the Merit checkout. This is the only way I've found to reliably buy from US ship to Taiwan without the high costs of direct shipping, which Merit doesn't even offer to our region yet.

I found that using an international shipping service specifically built for US-to-Asia routes made the process much smoother. I simply entered my provided US address at checkout, and once the package arrived at the warehouse, I was notified immediately. If you are curious about the costs, you can use the shipping calculator to see how much it costs to ship to Taiwan based on the weight of the moisturizer.

Shipping estimates for the Merit Moisturizer

When I planned my purchase, I needed to know exactly what the logistics would look like. Based on my experience with the 100ml glass bottle packaging, here are the estimates I used to calculate my costs.

Since the item is relatively light, I suggest consolidating it with other small beauty finds to make the most of your Taiwan delivery. You can always check the FAQ if you are unsure about shipping liquids or specific beauty ingredients into the country.

How I solve payment blocks with BuyForMe

One major hurdle I faced was that many US stores, including some beauty boutiques, often block international credit cards or refuse to ship to addresses they flag as forwarders. I have had orders cancelled in the past when trying to use my Taiwan-issued Visa card on US sites. This is where I found the "BuyForMe" service to be a lifesaver.

The BuyForMe service is an assisted purchase option where the team at comGateway buys the item on my behalf using a US domestic credit card. This is the safest way to guarantee my order doesn't get cancelled by a store's fraud detection system. If you've ever been frustrated by a Sephora or Merit order getting voided, this is the solution you need. It ensures the purchase goes through as a domestic transaction, and then the package is simply forwarded to me.

My experience managing Taiwan customs and taxes

Whenever I import luxury skincare, I have to keep an eye on the local regulations. In Taiwan, we have specific thresholds for when an import tax or GST/VAT might apply. I always make sure my total order value, including shipping, stays within the legal limits to avoid unnecessary delays at customs.

Check our guide on import duties to see how much you might owe depending on the current 2026 regulations. I found that being proactive about this allowed my Merit Jumbo Moisturizer to clear customs in just one day. If you have questions about the process, the support team is always available through the help center. My skin has never felt better, and I am glad I didn't wait for a local release that might never happen.
