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.
Honest credit · FF wins on taxWin #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.
Honest credit · FF wins on storageWhat Selectido is
Selectido offers two complementary services:
- 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.
- 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.
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.
