For basketball fans outside of China, getting your hands on official Luka Dončić basketball jerseysChinese buying agentLoongbuy, a well-known China purchasing and forwarding platform, for my latest order. The process was surprisingly seamless, and I'm here to share my journey.

Why Use a Buying Agent Like Loongbuy?

Taobao is a treasure trove of authentic and unique sports merchandise, often at better prices than international retailers. However, most sellers don't ship directly overseas. Loongbuy acts as your personal shopper and freight forwarder. You provide them with the Taobao product links, they purchase the items on your behalf, receive them at their warehouse in China, and then ship the consolidated package to your international address. They handle communication, quality checks, and customs declarations.

For my Dončić jersey, I wanted a specific colorway that was only available on a particular Taobao store. Loongbuy made accessing this exclusive item possible.

Step-by-Step: Ordering with Loongbuy

After the seller ships the jersey to Loongbuy's warehouse, their staff will inspect it, take photos for you to confirm, and weigh the package. You then pay the international shipping fee based on your chosen carrier (like DHL, FedEx, or EMS). Within a couple of days, your parcel is on its way to you.
