I found the fastest route for Summer Fridays Iced Coffee Lip Balm to Switzerland

March 26, 2026

Why I had to get the Iced Coffee balm

I’ve been tracking popular products on social media for months, and the Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm in Iced Coffee is the latest 2026 obsession. This flavor is currently a US exclusive, and the TikTok engagement is through the roof. I noticed that third-party resellers in Europe are charging nearly triple the retail price, which I refuse to pay. Getting it directly from a shop us store is the only way to avoid those insane markups.

My strategy for shopping US stores from Switzerland

I prefer to use comGateway because they provide a tax-free us address in Oregon. This means I don't pay any US sales tax when I order from Sephora or the Summer Fridays website. Since I live in Zurich, I rely on a parcel forwarding service to forward packages to my home. I always use the shipping calculator before I place my order so I know exactly what my costs will be.

The BuyForMe solution for restricted retailers

I ran into a problem that many international shoppers face. Some major retailers, including Sephora and Nike, frequently block international credit cards or cancel orders sent to a freight forwarder. When my initial order was declined, I switched to the BuyForMe service. With this, comGateway uses a US-based card to purchase the item on my behalf. We found this to be the most reliable way to guarantee that my limited-edition balm actually gets shipped. It’s the safest method to ensure your order isn't flagged or cancelled by the merchant.

Estimated shipping for your package

To help you plan your purchase, I’ve put together a quick breakdown of what to expect when shipping this specific item to Switzerland. You can use the estimate shipping cost tool for your specific city, but here are the basics for a single lip balm:

Box Weight Approx. 0.15 kg (0.3 lbs)
Box Dimensions Small padded mailer (approx. 15 x 10 x 5 cm)
Volumetric Warning Low risk. This item is very dense and small, so volumetric weight will not apply.
Battery Check None. This product contains no lithium batteries.

Managing Switzerland import duties

When my Switzerland delivery arrives, I have to account for local regulations. In 2026, the Swiss customs process is fairly efficient, but you should still check our guide on import duties to understand how VAT is calculated on cosmetics. I find that even with the shipping cost and potential customs tax, it is still significantly cheaper than buying from a local reseller. Getting my ship to Switzerland order processed took less than a week from the time it arrived at my US address.
