Step-by-Step Purchasing Process

1. Find Your Jersey: Search 1688 (in Chinese) using "亚利桑那加人队球衣" or the Chinese version of your desired player's name. Use Google Translate if needed.
2. Copy Product Details: Note important specifications (sizes, customization options) and paste the product URL into OrientDig's order form.
3. Calculate Costs: OrientDig provides transparent pricing - expect approximately:
   • 15-30 RMB domestic shipping (1688 to OrientDig warehouse)
   • 5% service fee
   • International shipping varies (45-120 RMB depending on quantity/carrier)
4. Place Your Order: Submit order with product links and special requests (e.g., "stitched name & numbers").
5. Quality Checks: OrientDig offers optional photos/video verification (10 RMB fee) before international shipping.

Money-Saving Techniques

To maximize value when buying through OrientDig:

Pro tip: Always request an original "water tag" photo (shows NHL properties hologram) from the seller via OrientDig to authenticate licenses. Many 1688 suppliers provide this upon request.

Sample Order Timeline

A recent purchaser sharing their experience received their Matthews #34 desert alternates in 17 days:

For rush orders, consider extra options like courier consolidation (multiple sellers' items combined). OrientDig agents will help negotiate faster expedited shipping when the original listing shows exceptionally long fulfillment times.

After-Sale Considerations

While 1688 purchases through proxy services are generally smooth, remember:

Chinese return policies differ vastly from Western norms. Most reputable 1688 sellers accept returns for manufacturing defects only within 7 days. Size exchanges often require paying return shipping (approximately 40-80 RMB domestically). OrientDig's staff can assist with translations during disputes.
