Why Guatemalan customers use Selectido
Guatemala has decent local retail (Cemaco, Pricesmart, Walmart Guatemala, Paiz) but US-only categories — Sephora US prestige (limited Sephora presence), Apple Store US pricing (vs. Guatemalan retail with 12% IVA + duty), Whole Foods organic supplements, US baby formula brands, Costco bulk Kirkland — still need a US shopper. Many Guatemalans have family in the US (large diaspora, especially in LA, Houston, NY) and Selectido replaces the "ask family to bring it" pattern with live video shopping that ships directly.
