What FishisFast is

FishisFast is a US package forwarder founded in 2009, warehoused in Oregon (a 0% sales-tax state). Subscription-free per-shipment model with one of the longest free-storage windows in the industry (~90 days). Brand reputation built on detailed photos and meticulous hand-inspection. Especially popular in Japan, Korea, and Greater China.

Strengths: Oregon tax-free address, exceptional 90-day storage window, detailed inspection workflow, Asia-focused service excellence.

Win #1: Oregon tax-free address

Oregon has 0% state sales tax. For retailers that calculate tax by shipping destination, FishisFast's PDX address saves 5-9% on tax-heavy purchases. On a $2,000 camera body, that's $100–$180 saved. Real money for high-AOV online shoppers.

Win #2: 90-day free storage

FishisFast offers around 90 days of free storage — the longest of any major US forwarder. Selectido is 30 days. If you're consolidating slowly across multiple Black Friday / Prime Day / Boxing Day cycles, that 60-day delta matters. For weekly shippers, it's irrelevant.

What Selectido is

Selectido offers two complementary services:

  1. Live-video personal shopping — a specialist drives to a US store, joins a video call with you, walks the aisles together, and physically buys items at the register. $75/hr, no subscription.
  2. US package forwarding — get a personal Suite ID at our Minneapolis hub, order from any US store online, we receive, hand-check, photograph, and forward internationally. $14.99 per package, or free if you book a $75+ live shopping session that month.
The Selectido edge

Three things FishisFast can't match: live video shopping at any US store (Costco, Trader Joe's, Apple retail, Sephora prestige), Aramex outbound carrier (huge for GCC/MENA delivery), and the bundle perk — a single $75 session waives the $14.99 forwarding fee that whole month. Photos and hand-inspection always free, never add-ons.

When to use each

FishisFast Stick with FishisFast when:

  • You buy high-value, tax-heavy electronics from US online retailers — Oregon saves real money
  • You're a slow consolidator — 90 days vs 30 days matters across Black Friday cycles
  • You ship primarily to Japan, Korea, or Greater China — FF's regional expertise is real
  • You prefer FF's detail-rich photo workflow over generic intake photos

Selectido Switch to Selectido when:

  • You need Costco, Trader Joe's, Apple Store retail, or Sephora prestige
  • You ship to GCC / MENA — Aramex outbound carrier is unique to Selectido
  • You want to see items on video before paying for international shipping
  • You want hand-checks always included, never a premium-tier upsell
  • You shop the US 2+ times a year — bundle math beats FF's per-shipment fee
The honest read: FishisFast and Selectido don't really compete on the same axis. FF is "premium online-only forwarder with great storage and Asia strength." Selectido is "forwarder + live shopper with bundle pricing and MENA reach." If you're a pure-online shopper in Asia buying tax-sensitive electronics, FF is great. If you mix online with in-store needs and care about GCC delivery, Selectido wins.

Frequently asked questions

Is Selectido a real FishisFast alternative?
Yes. Both are subscription-free per-shipment US package forwarders. FishisFast has the Oregon no-sales-tax address advantage. Selectido adds live video shopping at any US retailer, which FishisFast doesn't offer.
How does FishisFast pricing compare to Selectido?
Both subscription-free per-shipment. FishisFast charges a base service fee per outbound shipment plus actual shipping. Selectido is $14.99 flat per shipment, with photos, inspection, and customs paperwork all included. The $14.99 is waived if you also book a $75+ live shopping session that month.
Does FishisFast have a no-sales-tax address?
Yes — FishisFast is based in Oregon, which has no state sales tax. For retailers that calculate sales tax by shipping destination, this saves 5-9% on every purchase. A real FishisFast advantage if you're buying high-AOV electronics or luxury.
Does FishisFast offer live video shopping?
No. FishisFast is forwarding-only. For someone to walk a US retailer on live video — Target, Costco, Sephora, Saks, Apple, Best Buy — Selectido is the option.
How long is free storage at FishisFast?
FishisFast offers a generous free storage window (around 90 days, longer than most competitors). Selectido offers 30 days free. If you consolidate slowly over months, FishisFast's longer window is genuinely useful. If you ship within weeks, the difference is moot.
Can I use FishisFast and Selectido together?
Yes. Some customers use FishisFast's Oregon address for tax-sensitive electronics and Selectido for live shopping plus everything else. Not mutually exclusive.
