Why customers in India use Selectido for Target

Target's house brands — Cat & Jack kids' clothing, Threshold home, Up&Up baby and personal care, Good & Gather pantry — are quietly some of the best-rated US private labels and are not available outside US Targets.

Target.com does not ship internationally. Resale on eBay carries 2-3x markup. For India customers specifically, CBIC 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 shops Target on a video call, confirms color/size/availability on camera, and ships via DHL Express. Target's exclusive collaborations (Stoney Clover Lane, Tabitha Brown, Diane von Furstenberg) sell out fast and are a major reason customers book us.

Estimated total landed cost for a typical $200 Target order to India: about $380 including CBIC customs, VAT/IVA 18%, DHL courier (~$58), and the Selectido $14.99 forwarding fee. Personal courier: IGST 18% + Basic Customs Duty + Social Welfare Surcharge stack. Effective duty often 38-44% on electronics.
How long does shipping from Target to India take?
DHL Express from US to India typically takes 4-9 business days door-to-door including customs at the major India entry port. Selectido buys at Target, ships same-day or next business day from our US warehouse.
Can I get Target loyalty points or rewards as a customer in India?
Selectido shoppers can apply your Target 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 Target 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 Target store. You approve every substitution on camera before we buy.
