Need us to buy it? Flat fees start at $7.
Some US stores reject international cards, require a US payment method, or simply make checkout difficult. Send Selectido the item you want and we can purchase eligible items for you — with a simple flat service fee and no merchandise markup.
Four steps. No percentage service fee.
Assisted Purchase is separate from package forwarding. We buy the item first; once it reaches our US hub, you use the same forwarding flow as any other Selectido package.

You find it. We buy it.
Use Assisted Purchase when a US store will not accept your card or you simply want Selectido to handle the purchase. If you can buy the item yourself, use our normal package-forwarding service instead.
