For international basketball fans and jersey collectors, acquiring official NBA merchandise, like an Anthony Davis jersey, can be expensive. A cost-effective solution is sourcing directly from Chinese wholesale platforms like 1688.com. However, as a non-Chinese speaker, navigating 1688 can be daunting. This is where a reliable forwarding and purchasing agent like Acbuy
1688.com is Alibaba's domestic B2B platform, offering products, including sports jerseys, at significantly lower wholesale prices. The main hurdles are the Chinese-language interface, the need for a local payment method, and the fact that most suppliers don't ship internationally. Acbuy
First, you need to identify the specific Anthony Davis jersey you want. Use the search bar on 1688.com with keywords like "安东尼 戴维斯 球衣" (Anthony Davis Jersey) or "湖人队 23 号 球衣" (Lakers Team 23 Jersey). Carefully review product photos, descriptions, and seller ratings. For a curated list of potential suppliers and estimated prices, refer to this useful external resource: Jersey Product & Supplier Reference Spreadsheet. This spreadsheet can save you hours of comparative searching. Sign up for an account on the Acbuy website. Upon registration, you will be assigned a unique personal warehouse address in China. This address is crucial. When you find your desired jersey on 1688, you will use this Acbuy-provided address as your shipping destination. Copy the product URL from the 1688 page. Log into your Acbuy account and find the "Product Purchase" or "Place Order" section. Paste the 1688 product URL into the designated field. Acbuy's system will often fetch the product details automatically. You must then meticulously specify the details: size (S, M, L, XL), color (e.g., Purple & Gold, Icon White), version (Swingman, Authentic), and quantity. Enter the unit price as listed. Acbuy will calculate a total, including their service fee and estimated domestic shipping to their warehouse. Proceed to pay the invoice through Acbuy's platform. They accept various international payment methods (like PayPal, credit cards, or wire transfer). Once paid, Acbuy's local team will purchase the item from the 1688 supplier using their local payment systems. You can track this status in your account. A few days later, the jersey will arrive at your dedicated shelf in Acbuy's warehouse. They will inspect it and update you with photos for confirmation (this is a key value-added service). After your jersey is securely stored in the warehouse, you can initiate international shipping. In your Acbuy dashboard, select the item and choose your preferred international carrier (e.g., DHL, EMS, FedEx) based on cost and speed. You will pay the international shipping fee at this point. Acbuy will professionally pack your item, handle all customs declaration paperwork, and dispatch it to your door overseas. The entire process, from order to delivery, typically takes 2-4 weeks.
