How Selectido works

Two ways to shop the US from anywhere. Both are visual, both are shown step by step. No subscription.

Path A · Package Forwarding

Order online, we forward it home.

Every US store ships to your free Minneapolis suite. We hand-check, photograph, prep customs paperwork, and forward to 60+ countries in 4-7 days.

Get your free US Suite ID

Sign up in about a minute — no card, no contract. We issue a unique Suite ID like SE-3YF8 attached to our Minneapolis hub address. Tap-to-copy inside the app. This is your permanent US mailing address, yours to keep as long as you like.

What it looks like: Line 1 is your name, Line 2 is your Suite ID, then the Selectido hub address. Every US retailer accepts this format at checkout.
Example
SHIP TO · UNITED STATES USPS · UPS RECIPIENT Jane Reyes SUITE ID SE-3YF8 123 Selectido St Minneapolis MN 55401 · USA *SE-3YF8* SELECTIDO SUITE
Example Suite ID card · not a real customer
2
Shop · any US retailer

Use it at US checkout

Copy your Suite address into the "Ship to" section on Amazon US, Nike, Target, Sephora, Vitamin Shoppe, aloyoga.com — anywhere online that ships domestically inside the US. Pay with any US or international card that the retailer accepts. Selectido never touches the checkout.

Common example: Amazon US ships the item to Minneapolis using ground economy (often free). Your item lands at our hub the same as any other US order.
Example · Amazon US checkout
🔒 amazon.com/checkout/shipping SHIP TO FULL NAME Jane Reyes ADDRESS LINE 1 123 Selectido St ADDRESS LINE 2 · SUITE / APT Suite SE-3YF8 CITY · STATE · ZIP Minneapolis MN 55401 Place your order →

Package arrives · we handle it

We receive, hand-check, and photograph

The retailer ships to Minneapolis. When your package lands, our team scans the Suite ID, weighs it, hand-checks the contents against the invoice, and photographs everything. You get an "It's here" notification with photos inside the Selectido app — usually within 24 hours of delivery.

60 days of free storage. Buy Prime Day now, Black Friday next, and let it all pile up in your cubby until you're ready to consolidate into one outbound shipment.

Ship home in one shipment

Pick your outbound carrier — USPS Priority, UPS Worldwide, FedEx International, DHL Express. We prep customs paperwork with accurate HS codes and declared values, generate the label, and hand the package to the carrier. You track the whole journey inside the app until it clears customs and lands on your doorstep.

$14.99 flat service fee per outbound shipment + actual carrier cost. Consolidate multiple US orders into one box and split the fee across everything inside.

Path B · Live Video Shopping

Walk the aisles on video.

For items that aren't online, are behind a membership, or need a real person to raffle-hunt for you. A background-checked US shopper meets you on FaceTime and shops with you in real time.

Pick a store and a time

Open the app, pick the store you want walked (Costco, Trader Joe's, Sephora, a specific Nike location), pick a duration (1 hour minimum), and a time window. A background-checked US shopper near that store accepts.

Match speed: Same-day windows typically fill within 30 minutes. If we can't match you, the hold is refunded automatically — no support ticket needed.
Example · Booking card

Example booking · 2 hr at Trader Joe's Uptown for $127.50

Meet · on video

Your shopper calls you on FaceTime

At the start of your window your shopper calls you from the store parking lot. You see their face, they see you. They mount their phone on a shoulder rig, hit walk mode, and you're inside the store in first-person view. Point, ask, chat like you're there.

Language OK: Every shopper speaks English; many speak Spanish, Mandarin, or Arabic. Message us your language preference at booking and we route to a matching shopper.

Approve · every item

You point, they scan, you approve

When you see something you want, your shopper picks it up, shows you the label front and back, scans it, and it lands in your virtual cart inside the app. Every item is approved by you before the shopper walks the register. Nothing shows up on your card until you say yes.

No item markup. The register total is the register total. We invoice the shopping hours ($75/hr) separately, and the items ring up at exactly what you'd see if you were standing there yourself.
Example · Approve item overlay
Approve item? 2 in cart CHILI CRUNCH TRADER JOE'S Chili Onion Crunch 6 oz · glass jar $3.99 at register · no markup 🔍 Barcode scanned by Marcus · 3s ago ✓ Approve · add to cart Skip
Example approval card · $3.99 register price, no markup

Ships home · one bundle

Everything consolidated and forwarded

Your shopper takes the haul back to our Minneapolis hub, packs it into one export-ready box, and hands it to your chosen carrier. Same forwarding math as Path A applies: $14.99 service fee + actual carrier cost. Book a $75+ live session in a calendar month and even the $14.99 is waived on one package that month.

Mix & match: Live-shopped Trader Joe's + a forwarded Amazon package + a Nike order can all consolidate into the same outbound box. You save on international shipping by shipping fewer times.
Example · Consolidated shipment
🛒 Consolidated shipment SHP-8241 SHP-8241 USPS PRIORITY INSIDE THE BOX Trader Joe's · 8 items Live Amazon US · vitamins Fwd Nike US · running shoes Fwd EXAMPLE TOTAL Service (waived · $75+ session this month) $0.00 USPS Priority · 7.8 lb $68.40
Example consolidated box · 3 sources → 1 outbound shipment
You can use both

One free forwarded package every month you book a live shopper

Book any live shopping session of $75 or more in a calendar month, and your next package that month ships with the $14.99 service fee waived. Carrier shipping still applies at cost.

Example: a 2-hour session lands at $127.50 (15% off) — your next package's $14.99 service fee is on us. Max one free package per session, max one per calendar month.

What about customs?

Customs duties and import VAT are paid by you on receipt — every country sets its own thresholds and rates. We declare every shipment honestly and use the correct HS codes so packages clear without surprises.

For country-specific breakdowns (CUSMA, GCC, EU IOSS, Latin America), see the destinations guide.

The honest answers

Questions before you start

Is there a subscription?

No. No subscription, membership, monthly fee, or minimum spend. You pay $14.99 per forwarded package and $75/hr for live shopping — that is it. Your free US address stays free whether you ship one package or twenty.

Do you mark up prices?

No. Items ring up at the US register price — sale prices, coupons, and member prices all apply. You see the same receipt your shopper sees. We make our money on the $14.99 forwarding fee and the $75/hr live shopping rate, not on item markup.

How does the Suite ID work?

When you sign up free, we issue a Suite ID like SE-4821. Use our Minneapolis address as line 1 and "Suite SE-4821" as line 2 at any US checkout. When a package arrives with your Suite ID, we know it is yours, photograph the contents, and notify you in the app.

What if I don't like an item?

On a live shopping call, you approve every item before your shopper pays the register — that is the whole value of the format. For forwarded packages, the retailer's return policy applies between you and the retailer; we can return the item to a US store within the return window if you ask.

How do I get matched with a shopper?

Open the app, pick a store and a time window (same-day or up to two weeks ahead), and a background-checked US shopper accepts. Same-day matches typically land within 30 minutes. If we cannot match you, the booking is refunded automatically — no support ticket needed.

What if my package is delayed or damaged?

Every outbound package ships with full tracking on your chosen carrier (USPS, UPS, FedEx, DHL). If a carrier loses or damages a package, we file the claim and refund or replace based on the declared value. Customs delays are out of our hands — but we declare honestly with correct HS codes to minimize friction.

Ready to start?

The free US address takes 60 seconds. The live shopper match takes about 30. Both ship to 60+ countries.
