Why customers in Philippines use Selectido for Sephora

Sephora US stocks brands and exclusives that simply do not exist outside the United States — Rare Beauty by Selena Gomez, Drunk Elephant's full lineup, Glow Recipe's newest drops, Patrick Ta, OUAI, and Charlotte Tilbury's US-exclusive sets among them.

Even when local Sephora stores exist, they carry maybe 40% of the US assortment, often six months behind, and at 40-80% markup. International shipping from sephora.com is blocked outright for most countries. For Philippines customers specifically, Bureau of Customs 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 opens a video call from inside a US Sephora, walks the aisles you point to, swatches shades on their hand for you, and ships your final basket via DHL Express.

Frequently asked questions

Can I order from Sephora.com directly to Philippines?

Estimated total landed cost for a typical $200 Sephora order to Philippines: about $330 including Bureau of Customs customs, VAT/IVA 12%, DHL courier (~$56), and the Selectido $14.99 forwarding fee. BOC exempts personal-use shipments under PHP 10,000 (~USD $180-200) from duty + VAT.
How long does shipping from Sephora to Philippines take?
DHL Express from US to Philippines typically takes 4-9 business days door-to-door including customs at the major Philippines entry port. Selectido buys at Sephora, ships same-day or next business day from our US warehouse.
Can I get Sephora loyalty points or rewards as a customer in Philippines?
Selectido shoppers can apply your Sephora 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.
