Just a moment, securing your connection...

While fans in the UK are being told to wait until late summer, those of us in New Zealand are often left off the map entirely. Because Glossier still doesn't ship directly to NZ, getting this specific 2026 drop requires a bit of a workaround. Keeping up with us trends like this usually means looking toward the States for the earliest stock.

Dealing with the US-exclusive release hurdles

Buying from the US store directly is the only way to secure the chrome cap edition before it sells out. The problem is that Glossier’s US website requires a US shipping address. This is where a freight forwarder becomes your best friend. By using a service that provides a tax-free us address, you can shop US store sites just like a local would, avoiding the immediate "we don't ship to your country" block at checkout.

Using a freight forwarder to bridge the gap

Setting up an account with comGateway gives you a dedicated suite in a sales-tax-free state like Oregon. When you purchase your Strawberry Balm Dotcom, you simply enter that address at checkout. Once it arrives at the warehouse, they notify you, and you can then forward packages directly to your door in Auckland, Wellington, or anywhere else in NZ.

Shipping estimates for the anniversary set

Providing an accurate estimate helps you plan your budget before you click buy. Since the 2026 Anniversary Edition comes in a larger jumbo tube and specialized packaging, here is what you should expect for the logistics side of things:

Consolidating your haul

Since a single lip balm is very light, the international shipping rates are much more efficient if you buy a few extra items. You might want to grab the full Glossier line or other US-exclusive beauty products to make the most of the base shipping fee.

Estimating your total landed cost

Before committing, use a shipping calculator to see the projected cost from the US to New Zealand. This helps avoid surprises when the bill arrives. Remember that the jumbo tube is slightly heavier than the original 0.5 oz version, so factor in that extra bit of weight for the chrome hardware and larger volume.

Handling New Zealand import duties and GST

New Zealand has specific rules regarding goods coming from overseas. Since December 2019, the NZ government requires GST (15%) to be collected on low-value goods. When you ship your Glossier haul, you should check our guide on import duties to see how GST is applied at the point of sale or upon arrival. Usually, for items under $1,000 NZD, the process is quite straightforward, but it is always good to stay informed.

Checking shipping rules for cosmetics

Most lip balms are perfectly safe to ship, but it is always a smart move to review the list of prohibited items before placing an order. Some beauty products, like aerosol dry shampoos or certain high-alcohol perfumes, have restricted shipping rules. Thankfully, the Strawberry Balm Dotcom is a stable ointment and doesn't fall into the dangerous goods category.

Waiting for a local release often leads to disappointment or paying triple the price on auction sites. By using a parcel forwarding service, you get the 2026 Anniversary Edition at the same time as US fans, ensuring your summer glow starts early.
