Package forwarding to Buenos Aires — desde Minneapolis a CABA, sin vueltas.
Selectido ships from Minneapolis, USA to Buenos Aires via DHL Express / FedEx International Priority in 6-9 business days on most orders. Forwarding fee is $14.99 per outbound package, plus actual carrier shipping with no markup. Buenos Aires es un destino con desafíos aduaneros pero alta demanda por productos US-only. AFIP aplica US$50 umbral en couriers y 50% sobre exceso (más IIBB). Apple es muy popular — incluso después de impuestos, es 30-40% más barato comprar US vs. Argentina retail.
How it works for Buenos Aires-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.

The questions everyone asks
How long does shipping to Buenos Aires take?
Via DHL Express / FedEx International Priority: 6-9 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 Argentina?
US$50 (AFIP umbral para couriers) 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 Buenos Aires 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 Buenos Aires?
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 Buenos Aires?
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 Argentina?
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 AFIP retiene mi paquete?
AFIP es estricta — retenciones son comunes para envíos sobre US$50. DHL/FedEx coordina con el destinatario para CUIT/DNI y aclaración. Si hay impuestos, los pagamos primero y te lo facturamos. Resolución típica 5-10 días hábiles. Durante restricciones cambiarias puede ser más lento.
Can I pay Selectido in pesos argentinos (ARS)?
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$50 (AFIP umbral para couriers). 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).
