Why customers in Peru use Selectido for Whole Foods
Whole Foods carries USDA-certified organic supplements, allergen-free protein powders, and specialty groceries (gluten-free, keto, paleo) that are years ahead of what most international supermarkets stock.
Whole Foods does not ship internationally and Amazon Prime shipping of Whole Foods items is US-domestic only. Local 'health food stores' carry maybe 10% of the assortment at 3x the price. For Peru customers specifically, SUNAT 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 walks Whole Foods on a video call, scans labels for your dietary restrictions, and ships via DHL Express. Customers commonly book us for monthly supplement restocks.
