What MyUS Premium doesn't include
MyUS positions Premium as the "smart shopper" tier with discounted shipping. What it doesn't include: free repack, live shoppers, and freedom from the annual lock-in. Three places we beat them.
- 1$0 membership vs $99/yr
MyUS Standard is free to join but every shipment is more expensive. Premium discounts shipping but costs $99/year up front. Selectido is $0 to join, $14.99 per ship. Always.
- 2Free repack vs TruePrice surcharges
MyUS's TruePrice gives a predictable shipping number — but repacking to true dimensions is a paid add-on. We repack every parcel free, often saving 40-60% on the carrier bill.
- 3Live US shoppers
MyUS is forwarding-only. We forward AND have real shoppers who walk Costco, Trader Joe's, Apple, Sephora — stores that refuse third-party mailbox addresses.
MyUS's TruePrice doesn't include repack savings.
TruePrice tells you what shipping will cost — at the box's current size. But US stores ship in oversized boxes, so carriers bill you for empty space. We repack every parcel to true dimensions before forwarding, free.
Big box, small bill. We shrink it down.
Typical save: a 24×24×24 box from Target with 4 small items, repacked to 14×10×10. FedEx Ground international drops from ~$160 to ~$60.

Questions, answered
How much does MyUS actually cost vs Selectido?
MyUS Standard is free to join but charges per-parcel handling plus carrier costs. MyUS Premium is $9.99/month or $99/year and offers discounted shipping rates — but adds annual lock-in. Selectido is $14.99 flat per outbound shipment, zero membership. For shoppers who send 1-4 packages a year, Selectido is typically $80+ cheaper than MyUS Premium.
Does MyUS charge for repacking?
Yes. MyUS's TruePrice gives you a predictable shipping quote, but repacking to true dimensions is a paid add-on most customers skip. Selectido repacks every parcel for free, which can cut FedEx, UPS, and DHL rates up to 60% on oversized US-store boxes.
Does MyUS offer live shopping like Selectido?
No. MyUS is forwarding-only — they receive packages at their Sarasota, FL warehouse and ship them onward. Selectido has live US shoppers who walk Costco, Trader Joe's, Apple, Sephora, and 200+ other stores on video for shoppers in 60+ countries.
When does MyUS Premium actually make sense?
MyUS Premium starts paying off only above ~5–6 packages per month, and only if every one is a tightly-packed standard box where MyUS's shipping discounts beat our free repack savings. For most international shoppers — 1–3 packages a month, often oversized — Selectido's $14.99 flat + free repack ends up cheaper without the annual lock-in.
