Why customers in Chile use Selectido for Apple
Apple Store US prices are the global benchmark — every other Apple Store, authorized reseller, or carrier markup is measured against them.
Local Apple Stores in most countries charge 15-50% more than US retail for identical hardware, and many countries simply do not have Apple Store retail at all. AppleCare+ enrollment from outside the US is notoriously fiddly. 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.
A Selectido shopper buys at a US Apple Store on a video call with you, confirms IMEI and configuration on camera, and ships fully insured via DHL Express. AppleCare+ within 60 days remains valid worldwide.
