My low-effort way to get Summer Fridays Iced Matcha Lip Butter Balm to Thailand

March 22, 2026

The Iced Matcha fever in 2026

I have been seeing the Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm in Iced Matcha all over my TikTok feed this month. It is easily one of the most talked-about us trends right now. Even though it is March 2026, the obsession with this specific limited edition scent hasn't slowed down. For those of us living in Thailand, seeing every US-based influencer swipe this green-tinted balm across their lips is a bit frustrating because Sephora Thailand simply doesn't carry it.

Why I prefer the US version over local options

I noticed a lot of beauty fans in Japan and Thailand are specifically hunting for the US formulation. From my experience, the US-exclusive scents like Iced Matcha have a much richer fragrance profile compared to the standard vanilla or cherry versions we get locally. The hype isn't just about the color; it is about owning a piece of a collection that is notoriously hard to find outside of North America. I decided I needed it in my collection, but I didn't want to wait months for a local reseller to mark up the price by 300%.

Shipping Estimates for Lip Butter Balm

Before I bought my balm, I needed to know if the shipping would cost more than the product itself. Here is the breakdown I used to plan my package.

Criteria Details
Box Weight Approx. 0.3 lbs (0.15 kg) for a single tube in a mailer.
Box Dimensions Small (Approx. 6 x 4 x 2 inches).
Volumetric Warning This item is very dense and small. You do not need to worry about volumetric weight charges unless you are buying a massive bulk order of empty display boxes.
Battery Check This product contains no lithium batteries. It is safe for standard air travel.

I always recommend using a shipping calculator to see how much the final weight will impact your total before you commit to the purchase.

How I shopped US stores from Bangkok

My first hurdle was the store itself. Many US beauty retailers don't ship directly to Thailand, or if they do, the shipping fees are astronomical. I bypassed this by using comGateway. They provided me with a tax-free us address in Oregon. This meant I didn't have to pay US sales tax on my Summer Fridays order, which saved me a few dollars right at the start. I just entered that address at checkout on the US Sephora site, and my Iced Matcha balm was on its way to the warehouse.

Handling international shipping with zero stress

I don't like dealing with complicated logistics forms. Once my balm arrived at my US address, I used a freight forwarder to handle the move to Thailand. The process was straightforward: they notified me the package arrived, I selected my preferred international shipping service, and they handled the rest. Since the item is small, I actually waited and bundled it with a few other US finds to make the base shipping cost even more efficient.

A note on Thailand import rules

When shipping cosmetics to Thailand, I always make sure I am not accidentally ordering prohibited items. While lip balms are generally fine for personal use, you should always check the latest shipping rules to ensure you aren't exceeding quantity limits that might trigger a commercial import license requirement. For a single tube of Summer Fridays, I had no issues with customs. It arrived at my door in Bangkok about 8 days after it left the US warehouse.
