Why people switch

Speed is the whole product

A forwarder has one job: get your package moving. When a box sits in a warehouse queue for two weeks, you're paying for storage of your own frustration. Selectido's operation is built around a same-day rule at both ends.

  1. 1Checked in the day it arrives — with photos

    Every package is weighed, measured, photographed and registered the same day it reaches our Minneapolis hub. You get an email with photos before you've even wondered where it is.

  2. 2Ships the same day you pay

    The moment your payment clears, we buy the label at the live carrier rate — no markup — and hand the box to the carrier the same day. No "preparing" limbo, no promised-date roulette.

  3. 3Free repack, done while you decide

    We shrink oversized retail boxes to their true size — free on every parcel — which cuts international shipping cost by up to 60%. It happens during check-in, not in a paid queue.

What reviewers report

The forward2me complaints we hear most

To be fair: forward2me has plenty of happy customers and years of history. But as of mid-2026, recurring themes in public reviews on Trustpilot, Sitejabber and ComplaintsBoard describe the exact problems we designed against:

  1. Waiting weeks for packages to ship

    Reviewers describe combine-and-repack queues with a "huge backlog" (notably after the myGermany merger), missed promised ship dates, and shipping quotes that took up to two weeks to arrive.

  2. 📵Support that's hard to reach

    Multiple reviews report the phone line "always goes to voicemail" and email replies taking days while a package sits. Our approach: reply to the shipping email — a human reads every message, and WhatsApp is on every page.

  3. 💸Paying for services stuck in a queue

    Reviewers note being charged for repack/combine services that then sat unprocessed. Ours is free and happens at check-in, so there's nothing to queue for.

FAQ

Questions, answered

How fast does Selectido actually ship?

Two same-day rules: packages are registered and photographed the day they arrive at our hub, and once you pay for shipping, the label is bought and the box goes to the carrier the same day. The only wait in our flow is yours — free storage while you shop and consolidate.

Is forward2me bad?

No — it's an established forwarder with many satisfied customers, especially in the UK and Europe. But public reviews in 2026 repeatedly describe processing backlogs, slow quotes and hard-to-reach support. If speed is what you care about, that's the difference we built for.

What does it cost?

$14.99 flat per outbound shipment plus the actual carrier rate — we show you the live rate with no markup, instantly. Repack, photos and inspection are free. No subscription, no charge in months you don't ship.

Can you buy from stores that reject forwarder addresses?

Yes — that's our signature service. A real US shopper buys for you on live video (you approve every item before purchase), so stores like Costco, Apple and Trader Joe's are within reach even when they refuse third-party addresses.

Where do you ship?

200+ countries via UPS, USPS, FedEx and DHL. Import taxes are the destination country's own charge — see our 46-country import tax study for exactly what your country charges.
