Why Indian customers use Selectido

Indian customers — especially NRIs visiting family, urban professionals, parents of young children — have always relied on relatives flying back from the US to bring specific items. Selectido removes that dependency. Book a one-hour live video call any day, get exactly what you want, shipped via DHL or USPS.

Selectido ships to all major Indian cities — Mumbai, Delhi NCR (Gurgaon, Noida), Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad, Pune, Kolkata, Ahmedabad, Jaipur, Lucknow, Chandigarh, and beyond.

Top US stores for Indian customers

Shipping to India and customs

Indian Customs (CBIC): de minimis is roughly ₹10,000 (~USD 120) for gifts, ₹100 (~USD 1.20) for personal-use shipments outside the gift route. Above that, duty rates range from 38% to 77% depending on category — be honest about what makes economic sense. Lightweight high-value items (electronics, supplements) are usually worth it; bulky low-value items often aren't.

Two ways to shop the US from India

Selectido offers two complementary services for India customers:

📹 Live video shopping — $75/hr

For items you want to see before buying — apparel sizing, electronics demos, fresh items, complex assortments. A real US shopper opens a video call from inside the store, you watch and direct.

📦 Package forwarding — $14.99/shipment

For items you already know you want online. Get a free US shipping address (Suite ID like SE-3YF8). Order direct from any US store, we receive + photograph + forward to India. Learn more →

💎 Bundle perk: Book any $75+ live shopping session in a calendar month and the $14.99 forwarding service fee is waived for that month — you only pay actual carrier shipping.
