How it works for Bogotá-bound shipments
- Sign up for a free Selectido US address. Real Minneapolis suite address (not a PO box, not a blacklisted forwarder ZIP). Sign-up takes 60 seconds at selectido.com/forwarding.
- Use the address at any US e-commerce site. Amazon, Walmart, Target, Best Buy, Apple, Sephora — all of them. We even support live in-store shopping if a US site won't ship to forwarders at all.
- We receive, photograph, and inspect. Every package gets opened, contents photographed, and held in your suite until you say ship.
- Pick the carrier and route. DHL Express / FedEx International Priority for fastest, or USPS/UPS economy for cheaper. You see actual carrier rates — we don't mark them up.

The questions everyone asks
How long does shipping to Bogotá take?
Via DHL Express / FedEx International Priority: 5-7 business days for most orders. Add 1-2 days for in-house processing (we shop or receive your inbound package, photograph contents, then ship). USPS Priority Mail International economy options are slower (8-14 days) but cheaper.
What's the customs duty threshold for Colombia?
US$200 (DIAN envíos personales) Above the threshold, expect import duty + VAT/local sales tax per destination rules. We declare honest values and use gift markings where applicable; under-declaring is illegal and risks confiscation.
Which US stores ship to Bogotá via Selectido?
All of them. Amazon, Walmart, Target, Best Buy, Apple, Sephora, Costco, Trader Joe's (via live shopping since TJ's doesn't ship), Whole Foods, Macy's, Nordstrom, Lululemon, Nike, REI, Patagonia, and 200+ more. We've shipped from every major US retailer.
Can Selectido buy items in-store for me in the US and ship to Bogotá?
Yes — that's our live shopping service. $75/hr with 15% off 2+ hour bookings. Particularly useful when the US site won't ship to forwarder addresses (Apple, Sephora, Best Buy) or when your card gets declined at US checkout. We shop on FaceTime; you see what's in the cart in real time.
What's the cheapest way to ship a package to Bogotá?
For low-value items: USPS Priority Mail International (slower, 8-14 days, cheap). For higher-value or time-sensitive: DHL Express / FedEx International Priority (fast, full tracking, customs cleared smoothly). Consolidating multiple orders into one outbound shipment typically saves 30-50% per item.
How does Selectido handle customs paperwork for Colombia?
Honest declared values on the commercial invoice. Harmonized tariff codes per item category. Gift markings when applicable (lowers duty for personal gifts in some countries). We provide tracking with customs status updates. If a package is held by destination customs, we coordinate with you to provide additional documentation.
¿Qué pasa si DIAN retiene mi paquete?
DIAN es generalmente eficiente con envíos Express bajo US$200. Si hay retención, DHL/FedEx coordina con el destinatario para cédula y aclaración. La mayoría se resuelve en 3-5 días hábiles. Pagamos cualquier impuesto adicional primero.
Can I pay Selectido in pesos colombianos (COP)?
Yes — Stripe handles automatic currency conversion at interbank rates (no FX markup from Selectido). We also accept Wise, Revolut, and many local payment methods including local bank transfer. Pay in your currency or USD, your choice.
📦 Quick reference: Personal-import threshold US$200 (DIAN envíos personales). Primary carrier: DHL Express / FedEx International Priority. We optimize shipment splitting where it makes economic sense (smaller shipments under threshold vs. one big shipment with duty).
