For international fans of FC Barcelona Bàsquet, getting authentic jerseys can be challenging due to regional availability and high retail markups. Fortunately, LoongBuy—a specialized Chinese purchase-forwarding platform—bridges this gap by enabling global shoppers to buy directly from 1688, China’s wholesale marketplace. This guide walks through the process while highlighting cost-effective options from this product spreadsheet.

Why Choose LoongBuy for 1688 Orders?

Unlike global e-commerce platforms, 1688 offers factory-direct pricing but rarely ships internationally. LoongBuy solves this with:

• Agent-assisted purchasing: They handle negotiations and payments with Chinese sellers.
• Consolidation services: Multiple items ship as one parcel to reduce costs.
• Quality verification: Agents can inspect items pre-shipment (for a fee).

Step-by-Step Purchase Process

1. Identify Your Product

Review the jersey listings on this crowdsourced spreadsheet, which tracks:

• Quantity
• Optional services like pre-shipment photos

4. Make Payment

LoongBuy auto-calculates:

• Item cost (e.g., ¥120–200 ~ $17–28 for replicas)
• Domestic运费 (China logistics)
• International shipping (~$15 via Yanwen for a 500g jersey)

Pay via PayPal or credit card for buyer protection.

Once the jersey reaches LoongBuy’s warehouse, they’ll notify you to approve international shipment. Expect delivery in 10–20 days post-dispatch, depending on your region.

Why This Works for Basketball Jerseys
