Why customers in Mexico 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 Mexico customers specifically, SAT 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.

Frequently asked questions

Can I order from Apple.com directly to Mexico?
Most US Apple websites do not ship internationally to Mexico. Some categories — supplements, lithium batteries, cosmetics — are blocked from international shipping even when general shipping is available. Selectido provides a US shipping address and a live US shopper to bridge this gap.
How much will customs cost on a $200 Apple order shipped to Mexico?
Estimated total landed cost for a typical $200 Apple order to Mexico: about $306 including SAT customs, VAT/IVA 16%, DHL courier (~$51), and the Selectido $14.99 forwarding fee. USMCA personal-use exemption applies under USD $50. SAT collects IVA + DTA on courier-regime shipments.
How long does shipping from Apple to Mexico take?
DHL Express from US to Mexico typically takes 4-9 business days door-to-door including customs at the major Mexico entry port. Selectido buys at Apple, ships same-day or next business day from our US warehouse.
Can I get Apple loyalty points or rewards as a customer in Mexico?
Selectido shoppers can apply your Apple account number, Beauty Insider, Apple ID, Costco membership, or other loyalty program credentials at checkout if you provide them. Points and benefits accrue to your account directly.
What if Apple runs out of stock during my video session?
Selectido shoppers will offer alternatives in real time — comparable brands, different colors or sizes, or another nearby Apple store. You approve every substitution on camera before we buy.
