Apple sells in most countries, but US pricing (especially before tax) is often 15–30% lower than local Apple Stores in Brazil, Argentina, India, Turkey, or the EU. Selectido's Suite ID gives you a US address; our live shoppers can also pick up from Apple Store same-day.
How Apple US shopping works through Selectido
- Use your free Suite ID as the shipping address on apple.com.
- Or book a $75 live session — shopper picks up at Apple Store, ships from Minneapolis.
- International Apple warranty applies — your local Apple Store still services US-bought devices.
- Receipts and serial numbers photographed at intake.
- Watch out for declared value — Selectido declares honestly to avoid customs trouble.
Two ways Selectido sources US-exclusive items
1. Package forwarding ($14.99/package)
Get a free US Suite ID at our Minneapolis hub. Order direct from the US retailer using your Suite ID as the shipping address. We receive, photograph, inspect, and forward internationally. Flat $14.99 service fee + actual carrier shipping. No subscription.
2. Live video shopping ($75/hr)
For items that need in-person inspection — beauty, supplements, baby formula seal-checks, sneakers — book a 1-hour live video session. A Selectido shopper enters the store, you watch on camera, point at items, approve checkout. No item markup.
Bundle perk
Book a $75+ live video session in a calendar month? Your first forwarded package that month ships with the $14.99 service fee waived (you still pay actual carrier shipping). One free per month, one per session.
Frequently asked questions
Can I just order direct from the US retailer?
Most US retailers don't ship internationally, or charge inflated international shipping that exceeds the item value. Selectido's $14.99 forwarding fee + actual carrier cost is almost always cheaper.
Does Selectido charge a markup on the item price?
No. You pay the store's actual price. Selectido charges $14.99 per forwarded package, or $75/hr for live video shopping. We don't take a cut of your purchase.
How long does shipping take?
From hub intake to your country: 3–10 business days depending on destination and carrier choice. Selectido offers multiple carrier options (USPS, FedEx, DHL, UPS) so you can balance speed vs cost.
What about customs and duties?
Selectido prepares free customs paperwork with accurate declared values. Duties and clearance decisions are made by your destination country — we can't guarantee outcomes, but our paperwork is honest and complete.
Do you offer cold-chain or temperature-controlled shipping?
For most products, no — standard ground/air shipping is uncooled. Supplements and shelf-stable items handle this fine. For genuinely temperature-sensitive items, message us before ordering.
