Why people want US OTC medications shipped abroad
US OTC formulations are often unique. Tylenol PM (acetaminophen + diphenhydramine) is not sold under that name in most international markets — equivalents exist but the combination, dosage, and packaging differ. Benadryl in the US is 25mg diphenhydramine; some markets only sell 50mg or different antihistamines entirely. Pepto Bismol's bismuth subsalicylate formulation isn't approved in much of the EU. Tums Smoothies and Chewy Delights flavors are US-specific. Sudafed has been reformulated in many countries due to pseudoephedrine restrictions. DayQuil/NyQuil has US-specific combinations of dextromethorphan, doxylamine, and acetaminophen.
For expat Americans, international students from the US, parents who want the exact childhood-familiar formulation for their kid, and travelers stocking up before a trip — Selectido is the way to get the US versions of these everyday OTC medicines.

- Live shopper or forwarding. Live shopping $75/hr (great for live walk-through of CVS/Walgreens). Forwarding $14.99/package for online orders.
- Inspect, photo, pack, ship. Expiry checked (12+ months remaining), sealed, climate-aware packing, customs paperwork accurately filed.

The questions everyone asks
Can you ship US OTC medications internationally?
Yes — we ship sealed, over-the-counter medications to 60+ countries. Customer is responsible for destination customs compliance. We are NOT a pharmacy, do NOT provide medical advice, and only ship OTC items (no prescription medications).
Why do people want US OTC medications shipped abroad?
US OTC formulations are often different from what's sold internationally. Tylenol PM (acetaminophen + diphenhydramine combination) isn't sold in many countries. Benadryl 25mg (US dose) is unavailable in markets that only sell 50mg. Pepto Bismol's bismuth subsalicylate formula isn't available in EU. Many parents abroad want the exact US dosage they grew up with.
Are there customs restrictions on shipping medications?
Yes — every country has its own rules. Some accept small personal-use quantities of sealed OTC items; others restrict specific active ingredients (codeine, pseudoephedrine in some markets, dextromethorphan in others). We flag restrictions before booking. CUSTOMER IS RESPONSIBLE for verifying destination legality.
Can you ship prescription medications?
No — we ship OTC (over-the-counter) only. Anything requiring a US prescription is excluded. Anything that's prescription-only in the destination country is the customer's responsibility to handle.
How long does OTC shipping take?
From Minneapolis: 3-10 business days. Mexico/Canada: 3-5 days. EU/UK: 5-8 days. UAE/Saudi: 4-7 days. Asia: 5-10 days.
Are these the same products sold in US pharmacies?
Yes — exactly the same. Your shopper grabs them at CVS, Walgreens, Target Pharmacy, Walmart Pharmacy, or Costco. Same formulation, same packaging, sealed and unopened.
How much does shipping OTC meds cost?
Forwarding $14.99 + carrier shipping. A typical 4-5 lb medication care package runs $35-65 to most destinations.
Can I get a US-only medication formulation?
Yes — many US OTC formulations are unique (combinations, strengths, or active ingredients not approved abroad). We ship them as personal-import quantities. Verify destination legality first.
Will medications stay fresh in transit?
Yes — OTC medications are shelf-stable and typically have 18-36 month expiration dates. We only ship items with 12+ months remaining. Sealed bottles are climate-stable for international transit.
Do I need a prescription to order Tylenol PM / Benadryl / Pepto?
No — these are all over-the-counter in the US. You don't need a prescription to order from Selectido. Verify they're legal to import as personal-use to your destination.
