The 30-second answer
Stackry is a solid forwarding-only service based in New Hampshire (no state sales tax) with a per-shipment model and 45-day free storage. Selectido is also subscription-free and per-shipment ($14.99 flat), but adds live video shopping at any US store, free package inspection and photos, and a bundle perk that waives the forwarding fee when you also book a live session that month.
What Stackry is
Stackry is a US package forwarder founded in 2014, warehousing in New Hampshire (a 0% state-sales-tax state). True subscription-free pricing — pay per shipment, no monthly tier. Photos and customs paperwork included. Strong overlap with Shipito's value proposition but in NH instead of Oregon.
Strengths: NH tax-free address, 45-day free storage, no subscription, established brand among US-online-shopping international customers.
The New Hampshire tax-free advantage (Stackry's real win)
New Hampshire has 0% state sales tax, just like Oregon. For retailers that calculate tax based on shipping destination (a big subset), Stackry's NH address saves 5-9% on US sales tax. On a $1,500 camera, that's $75-135 saved. For pure-online customers buying tax-heavy categories, this is legitimately useful.
Honest credit · Stackry wins on taxWhat 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.
Book a $75 live session for the things you want to see in person (Costco, Apple retail, Sephora prestige). Forwarding for that entire month is free. Plus: photos, hand-checks, customs paperwork all included as standard — never $2/$5 add-ons. Stackry doesn't have a live-shopping bundle because Stackry doesn't shop.

When to use each
Stackry Stick with Stackry when:
- You only order online — never need in-store access
- You buy tax-heavy categories (electronics, jewelry, watches) where NH 0% tax matters
- You consolidate slowly — 45-day window beats 30
- You ship to less-common countries (Stackry serves 200+ vs Selectido's focused 60+)
Selectido Switch to Selectido when:
- You need Costco, Trader Joe's, Apple Store retail, or Sephora prestige — Stackry can't help
- You want to see items on video before paying for international shipping
- You want hand-inspections always included, never an add-on fee
- You'd rather have free forwarding (with a live session) than a tax savings
- You want Aramex as an outbound carrier option (for GCC/MENA delivery)
