Why Bolivian customers use Selectido
Bolivia's import landscape is unique: it's landlocked, the boliviano (BOB) is informally pegged to the dollar but USD is scarce, and the local market for prestige beauty, supplements, and US tech is thin. Mall Las Brisas in Santa Cruz, MegaCenter in La Paz, and Plaza Cochabamba all carry Bolivian and Brazilian brands, but US-only categories — Sephora US, Apple Store US, Whole Foods supplements, brand-name baby formula like Similac and Enfamil — still need a US shopper. Selectido replaces the "ask a relative coming back from Miami" pattern with live video shopping that ships directly via DHL or FedEx.
Top US stores for Bolivian customers
- Sephora US — prestige beauty, fragrance, exclusive brands (Rare Beauty, Drunk Elephant)

- Costco Kirkland Signature — multivitamins, Similac/Enfamil baby formula, bulk household

Shipping to Bolivia
- DHL Express — preferred. 6-9 business days door-to-door including customs at VVI (Santa Cruz Viru Viru International) or LPB (La Paz El Alto International).
- FedEx International Priority — 6-9 days.
- UPS Worldwide Express — 6-9 days via Lima or São Paulo hub.
- USPS to ECOBOL — 14-21 days, more economical but tracking thins out after Bolivia entry.
