US Personal Shopper for Ecuador — Pay in USD

Quito, Guayaquil, Cuenca, Manta, Ambato — your live US shopper on video. Sephora US, Apple, Whole Foods, baby formula, supplements — DHL or FedEx in 4-6 business days. Ecuador uses USD officially.

Why Ecuadorian customers use Selectido

Ecuador uses the US dollar as official currency since 2000, which means no exchange-rate friction when shopping in USD. Local retail (Supermaxi, Megamaxi, Mi Comisariato, De Prati) is solid, but US-only categories still aren't accessible. Sephora US prestige releases (no Sephora in Ecuador), Apple Store US pricing (vs. Ecuadorian retail with import duties baked in), Whole Foods organic supplements, US baby formula brands, Costco bulk Kirkland — these are the most-requested categories. The 4x4 customs regime (under $400 / 4kg) makes Ecuador's personal-import process simpler than many LATAM neighbors.
