Direct the shopping
"Is the spinach fresh?" "Two Honeycrisp, not Galas." "Skip the cilantro." They put approved items in the cart.
We drop it at your door
Free if it fits in our car, within Minneapolis, St. Paul, or close-in suburbs. Same day, every time.
Their phone is your eyes.
Selectido isn't a list you fill out and pray. It's a one-hour video call. The aisle is on your screen — labels, expiration dates, the brand they're holding up — and the cart updates as you approve each item.
- See the actual shelf, in real time
- Hear the price before they reach for it
- Compare brands without leaving your chair
- Skip an item — or swap it — before it lands in the cart
- End-of-session receipt photo so nothing is mystery math
Built for the people delivery apps forgot.

Post-surgery recovery
Knee surgery, C-section, chemo? Don't drag yourself to Cub. We go for you while you heal.
Mobility limitations
Chronic illness, MS, severe arthritis — shop from your living room, not a parking lot.
New parents
Don't wake the baby. Don't pack up two car seats for a 10-item run. We'll grab the formula.
Family caregivers
Book for your parent across the metro. Pay on your card; they direct the shopping.

Skip the crowded store entirely. Live video keeps you in control without the exposure.
Free delivery in the core metro.
Where we drop free
If your order fits comfortably in a compact car AND you're inside the ring, delivery is free — that day, after the session.
Quoted up front, never a surprise. Larger orders (full-cart Costco runs, anything that needs a truck) get a fair flat rate before the session.
Anywhere in the metro that's open.

Why we do this: we live in the Twin Cities. The community here looks out for its homebound neighbors. The free local delivery is our way of doing the same. It's not a promo. It's the policy.
Free delivery applies when:
- Your address is within Minneapolis, St. Paul, or one of our service-area suburbs (see the map above).
- Your order fits comfortably in a compact car — typically 2–6 grocery bags, a few smaller packages, or a flat-pack item. If it would fit in the trunk + back seat of a Toyota Corolla, it qualifies.
What doesn't qualify for free delivery (we still come — just with a small fuel-cost charge, quoted upfront):
- Furniture, large appliances, anything that needs a truck.
- A full Costco run that takes up an entire SUV.
- Addresses outside the service-area ring (we cover most of the metro for a small mileage fee).
One ask: please be home (or have someone available) during the delivery window. We'll text 15 minutes before arrival. Doorstep drop-off is fine if that's easier — just let your shopper know during the session.
Real runs. Real receipts.
Selectido started in Minneapolis the year my grandmother stopped driving. She still wanted to choose her own oranges, her own bread, the exact cut of cod from Coastal. The big delivery apps couldn't give her that — they sent a stranger with a checklist. So we built the thing she actually wanted: a one-hour video call with a real person, walking the aisle with her, treating shopping like the human errand it is.
The free local delivery in the Twin Cities isn't a marketing line. It's how we say thank you to the community that made this possible. We're a small team and we're not going anywhere.
One rate. No surprises.
