I used a freight forwarder to get the Rhode Jumbo Barrier Restore Cream in Switzerland and it actually worked

Why I am obsessed with the Rhode Jumbo Barrier Restore Cream

It is March 2026 and the hype around Hailey Bieber’s Rhode Skin hasn’t slowed down one bit. If anything, it’s harder to get your hands on the good stuff now that they are releasing limited-edition drops. I’ve been using the standard Barrier Restore Cream (BRC) for a year, but the 100ml Jumbo Size is the real prize. It is currently a US exclusive, which is a massive bummer for those of us living in Switzerland.

I wanted the Jumbo size because it’s way more sustainable for my routine and much better value for the price. The formula is still that perfect peptides-and-niacinamide blend that saves my skin during the dry Swiss winters. Since Rhode doesn't offer direct international shipping to my house in Zurich, I had to find a workaround that didn't involve begging friends in New York to mail it to me.

Shipping Estimates for Switzerland

Before I committed to the purchase, I needed to know if the shipping costs would outweigh the savings of buying the larger tube. Here is the breakdown I used to estimate shipping cost for the Rhode Jumbo BRC.

Since the item is light, I found it much more cost-effective to bundle it with a few other US beauty finds. Most freight forwarder services allow you to consolidate packages, which is exactly what I did to save a few francs.

How I used a freight forwarder to shop the US store

The logic is pretty simple: I needed a tax-free US address to act as a middleman. I signed up for an account with comGateway because they have a warehouse in Oregon. This is a huge deal because Oregon has 0% sales tax, meaning I only paid the sticker price on the Rhode website.

If you are wondering how it works, here is the short version of my experience. I placed the order on the Rhode website and used the Oregon address provided by the freight forwarder as my shipping address. Once the package arrived at the warehouse, I received a notification and was able to choose my preferred courier for Switzerland delivery.

I usually opt for FedEx international shipping or DHL international shipping because they are incredibly reliable when navigating the Swiss mountains. My package arrived in about 5 business days, which is faster than some local deliveries I’ve dealt with!

Using proxy shopping when your card gets declined

One hurdle I faced initially was the payment. Some US stores are really picky about non-US credit cards or billing addresses. When my Swiss card was rejected by the Rhode checkout, I didn't panic. I switched to the BuyForMe service.

This proxy shopping option is basically a lifesaver. I just sent the link to the Jumbo BRC to the team, and they bought it on my behalf using a US payment method. It took all the stress out of the transaction. If you ever find yourself stuck at a US checkout, I highly recommend using a buy for me service to bypass those regional restrictions.

Dealing with Switzerland import tax and customs

We all know that ship to Switzerland services come with the inevitable conversation about the Federal Office for Customs. When you bring goods into Switzerland, you have to consider the import tax (VAT), which is currently 8.1% for most items.

Because the Rhode Jumbo BRC is a relatively low-value item, the import tax was manageable. However, I always make sure to declare the value accurately to avoid any delays at the border. The beauty of using a professional freight forwarder is that they handle all the customs documentation for you, so you don't have to fill out confusing paperwork in German or French.

My total cost, even with shipping and the small customs fee, was still cheaper than buying marked-up versions from secondary markets in Europe. Plus, I have the peace of mind knowing it’s the authentic 2026 jumbo edition straight from the source.
