What is a US personal shopper?
The category answers a simple need: you want US retail products, you can't be in the US to buy them. Hiring a US personal shopper is the cleanest solution. The shopper has a US address, US payment method, US loyalty memberships (Target Circle, Costco card, Sephora Rouge, Sam's Club), and can walk into any US store, boutique, or warehouse club on your behalf. Selectido is a US personal shopper for international customers — a personal shopper USA international clients hire to handle the entire purchase chain from store to door.

Why use a Selectido US personal shopper vs alternatives
vs hiring a friend in the US: Friends are great until you need them every month, or for a luxury purchase with insurance, or to handle customs paperwork. A professional US personal shopper has the systems, the time, and the accountability.
vs Amazon US direct shipping: Amazon Global ships a small fraction of its catalog abroad. A US personal shopper unlocks the full Amazon US catalog plus every physical US store Amazon doesn't carry.
vs package forwarders (MyUS, Shipito): Forwarders don't shop. They only re-ship what you bought. For in-store-only items, sizing-sensitive purchases, or store-exclusives, only a US personal shopper works.
vs in-store concierges (Saks, Nordstrom): Department-store concierges are free with purchase but only work at their own store and only with US shipping addresses. Selectido is store-agnostic and ships internationally.
