The US stores you've been missing.
Canada has its own retail ecosystem — Canadian Tire, Shoppers Drug Mart, The Bay, Indigo, Loblaws — and that ecosystem is great for Canadian needs. But for a long list of US-only brands, US-only product lines, and US-exclusive variants, Canadians have no way to buy them without a US shopper.
🎯
Target USA
Target left Canada in 2015 — but Target.com US ships only within the US. Selectido grabs Target-exclusive Stanley Quenchers, Goodfellow, Cat & Jack, Hearth & Hand, and ships to Canada in 3-5 days.

Major Canadian cities we ship to
Canada customs made simple
Canada's threshold for express courier shipments is CAD $40 per package for de minimis. Below that = free. Above = 5% GST + provincial sales tax (HST/PST/QST). Here's how each province stacks:
| Province | Sales tax over CAD $40 | Total typical |
|---|---|---|
| Ontario | 13% HST | 13% |
| British Columbia | 5% GST + 7% PST | 12% |
| Alberta | 5% GST only | 5% |
| Quebec | 5% GST + 9.975% QST | 14.975% |
| Manitoba / Saskatchewan | 5% GST + 7% PST | 12% |
| Maritime (NB, NS, PE, NL) | 15% HST | 15% |
💡 The split strategy: For a $150 USD order with two clearly different items, ask us to split into 2 outbound shipments under the CAD $40 threshold (≈ USD $30 per package). You pay the $14.99 forwarding fee twice but skip ~$25-35 in sales tax. Above ~$200 USD per package, splits stop making sense — accept the duty and ship in one box.
The questions everyone asks
How do I order from Target US to Canada?
Target.com doesn't ship to Canada — they exited the Canadian market in 2015. Use your free Selectido US address (Minneapolis suite) as the shipping destination at Target.com checkout. We receive, photograph contents, then forward via UPS Cross-Border or DHL to your Canadian address in 3-5 business days. Forwarding fee: $14.99 USD per outbound package.
Can Selectido shop Trader Joe's for me in Canada?
Yes. Trader Joe's has never opened in Canada and doesn't ship. Book live video shopping ($75/hr) — your US shopper walks the aisles in Minneapolis on FaceTime, you pick what you want (Cookie Butter, Joe-Joe's, Everything Bagel Seasoning, frozen meals), and we ship to your Canadian address in 4-7 days.
What's the Canada $40 CAD customs threshold and how does it affect me?
Canada's de minimis is CAD $40 for express courier shipments. Anything over that gets charged 5% GST + provincial sales tax. The strategy: split larger orders into multiple under-$40 packages where it makes economic sense, since forwarding fee is per-package. For orders over $200, the duty is often unavoidable; just declare honest values.
How long does Selectido ship to Toronto / Vancouver / Calgary / Montreal?
From our Minneapolis hub: 3-5 business days via UPS Cross-Border or DHL Express. Toronto/Montreal slightly faster (3-4 days). Vancouver/Calgary 4-5 days. Add 1 day for in-house processing. We also offer USPS Priority International for budget shipments (7-12 days).
Can I buy Costco US exclusives without a Costco Canada membership?
Yes — and there's a meaningful difference between Costco US and Costco Canada inventory. Kirkland Signature US-only items, US wine + spirits, US-specific electronics, US-only seasonal items are routinely cheaper than Canadian equivalents. Book a live shopping session, your US shopper enters our Costco membership account, walks the warehouse, you pick. Ship in 3-5 days.
Does Selectido ship Sephora US exclusives like Drunk Elephant and Patrick Ta to Canada?
Yes. Sephora US carries brands not distributed in Canada (or with delayed/limited Canadian launches): Patrick Ta, Tower 28, Tarte Cosmetics' full US lineup, some Drunk Elephant exclusives, Glow Recipe US-only items. Place the order at Sephora US using your Selectido US address, we forward to your Canadian doorstep.
How do I get Stanley Cup US-exclusive colorways in Canada?
Stanley releases US-exclusive Quencher colors at Target, Walmart, and Stanley.com regularly — Watercolor Dusk, Pool Party, and Target-only LE drops don't ship to Canada. Book a drop-day live session and your US shopper waits in Target Minneapolis at opening to grab the exact color. Same week shipping.
What does it cost to ship from the US to Canada via Selectido?
Forwarding fee: $14.99 USD per outbound package. Plus actual carrier shipping: a 5-lb package to Toronto via UPS Cross-Border runs $18-28 USD; to Vancouver $22-35; to Atlantic Canada $28-40. A 1-lb electronics box runs $15-22. Live video shopping is $75 USD/hour with 15% off 2+ hour bookings.
Can Selectido handle gift shipments to Canadian addresses?
Yes — we mark genuine gift shipments as 'gift' on customs (CAD $60 personal-gift exemption when sender and recipient are both private individuals). Free gift wrap and handwritten note for any holiday or birthday box. Popular for parents in the US sending care packages to kids studying in Canada.
