Why customers in Chile use Selectido for Amazon
Amazon US has the deepest US selection of any retailer on earth — but Amazon's international sites carry maybe 20% of the US catalog, often at 30-60% markup, and many third-party sellers refuse international addresses.
Amazon Global is unreliable for many product categories. Lithium batteries, supplements, cosmetics, and gaming consoles often won't ship internationally. Lightning Deals and Prime Day pricing exclude international shoppers entirely. For Chile customers specifically, SNA customs requires accurate value declaration on courier shipments — guesswork ends in seizures or paid-twice scenarios. Selectido marks customs accurately, includes the original receipt, and confirms exact landed cost before charging your card.
Selectido provides you a US shipping address. Order from amazon.com normally to that address — we receive, photograph, and forward. For Lightning Deals or live-on-camera authentication, switch to a video session.
Landed cost estimate — typical $200 Amazon order to Chile
+ 69% over US retail
