Why Uruguayan customers use Selectido
Uruguay has a small but high-purchasing-power market with a strong appetite for imported goods. Local retail (Tienda Inglesa, Disco, Devoto, Tata) is solid but US-only categories — Sephora US prestige (no Sephora in Uruguay), Apple Store US pricing (vs. Uruguayan retail with 22% IVA + duties), Whole Foods organic supplements, US baby formula, Costco bulk Kirkland — still need a US shopper. Many Uruguayans already use the "franquicia personal" regime to import 3 personal shipments per year up to USD $200 each duty-free, which makes Selectido a perfect fit.
