Question 1

How long does shipping from the US to my country take?

Accepted Answer

Typical transit ranges by region from when we hand your outbound shipment off in Minneapolis: 3-5 business days to Canada, 4-7 days across Latin America via UPS Ground or DHL Express, 4-7 days to the UAE and Saudi Arabia via FedEx Priority or DHL, 5-8 days to East Asia (Tokyo, Seoul, Singapore), 6-9 days to India and Southeast Asia, 5-9 days to most of Europe, and 7-14 days across Africa. Add roughly one business day for in-house processing, photographing your items, and choosing the best rate. Live shopping appointments add another half-day for the in-store walkthrough.

Question 2

Which carrier do you use for my country?

Accepted Answer

We quote four carriers at checkout and pick the best mix for your destination. UPS Ground and UPS Cross-Border handle most of North America, including Mexico, Canada, and Caribbean drops. DHL Express is the workhorse for Latin America (Brazil, Argentina, Colombia, Peru), MENA (Saudi, UAE, Jordan, Iraq, Egypt, Morocco), India, and most of Africa. FedEx Priority is fastest to the Gulf (Riyadh, Jeddah, Dubai, Doha, Kuwait City) and to Japan. USPS Priority Mail International is the budget pick for nearly every destination and is often the best value for low-value shipments.

Question 3

What about customs, duties, and taxes?

Accepted Answer

Every country sets its own de minimis threshold — the declared value under which duties and taxes don't apply — and we handle the paperwork either way. Mexico's express courier threshold is $50 USD, Brazil's is $50 USD with a roughly 60% duty above that, the UAE sits at AED 1000, Saudi Arabia at SAR 1000, India at INR 50,000 for gift shipments, Japan at ¥10,000, and the UK at £135. The carrier collects whatever applies at the door. We declare honestly and provide itemized invoices so your clearance moves fast.

Question 4

Can I get a real US shipping address?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Sixty-second signup at selectido.com gives you a real Minneapolis suite number with your unique customer code on line two. Use it as the shipping destination at Target, Amazon, Costco US, Sephora US, Apple, Walmart, Best Buy, Nike, Lululemon, or any US retailer that won't ship to your country directly. There's no subscription fee, no setup charge, and no contract. The address is yours to hold whether you ship one package or twenty, and 60 days of in-house storage is included so you can consolidate orders.
