Why customers in Philippines 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 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.

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.

What customers in Philippines buy from Target

How Selectido buys at Target for you

  1. Book a session — pick a 30-minute or 1-hour video slot, or use $14.99 package forwarding if you'll order online directly.
  2. Video call from the aisle — your shopper opens their phone camera inside the Target store. You point, they pick up, you confirm.
  3. Approve and pay — final basket photo, exact total in USD, your approval, then we pay at checkout.
  4. Ship to Philippines — DHL Express with accurate Bureau of Customs customs paperwork. Door-to-door including customs clearance.
Philippines customs in plain English: BOC exempts personal-use shipments under PHP 10,000 (~USD $180-200) from duty + VAT.

Frequently asked questions

Can I order from Target.com directly to Philippines?
Most US Target websites do not ship internationally to Philippines. 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 Target order shipped to Philippines?
Estimated total landed cost for a typical $200 Target 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 Target 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 Target, ships same-day or next business day from our US warehouse.
Can I get Target loyalty points or rewards as a customer in Philippines?
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.
