Purchasing international sports merchandise like a Colorado Rockies MLB jersey can be challenging without access to Chinese e-commerce platforms like 1688. Superbuy, a reputable Chinese forwarding service, simplifies this process for global shoppers. Here’s a step-by-step guide on securing an authentic jersey at wholesale prices.

Understanding 1688 and Superbuy’s Role

1688.com is Alibaba’s B2B platform catering primarily to domestic Chinese buyers. While it offers competitive pricing on items like baseball jerseys, international shipping isn’t always available. This is where Superbuy bridges the gap—acting as a proxy buyer that handles purchases, quality checks, and global logistics.

Step 1: Product Research

For curated Colorado Rockies jersey options, refer to this spreadsheet, which compiles verified 1688 listings with pricing variations (¥80-¥320), materials (polyester/spandex blends), and seller ratings. Focus on vendors with recent "3A" ratings for reliability.

Tip: Use browser translation tools to navigate 1688’s Chinese interface—look for keywords like "科罗拉多落基山棒球服" (Colorado Rockies jersey).

Step 2: Setting Up Superbuy

1. Register on Superbuy’s website 2. Install their Chrome extension for one-click order forwarding from 1688.
3. Deposit funds via PayPal/Alipay (minimum ¥200 recommended).

Step 3: Placing Your Order

Copy the 1688 product URL into Superbuy’s "Expert Purchase" form. Specify:

• Size:
• Customization:
• Shipping Preferences:

Step 4: Quality Control & Shipping

Superbuy’s warehouse team will:

1. Inspect stitching and colors (photos provided within 48hrs).
2. Repackage items to reduce volumetric weight.

Select shipping via EMS (10-20 days) or DHL (5-8 days), factoring in ~¥150-¥300 for 500g packages to North America/Europe. Superbuy’s shipping calculator provides real-time quotes.

Cost Breakdown Example
