The Process: From Search to Shipment

First, I searched for “费城老鹰橄榄球衫” (Philadelphia Eagles rugby jersey) on 1688. The key is to use Chinese keywords for accurate results. I browsed through several suppliers, paying close attention to product images, prices, and minimum order quantities (MOQ). Often, even single pieces are available.

Once I found the perfect jersey, I copied the product URL from 1688. On the CSSBuy website, I pasted the link into their “Shopping Agent” order form. I specified all details: size (using Chinese sizing charts), color, quantity, and any special instructions. I then funded my CSSBuy wallet through PayPal. CSSBuy’s team processed the order and purchased the jersey from the 1688 seller.

Quality Control and Organization

A major advantage of using an agent is Quality Control (QC). A few days later, CSSBuy uploaded detailed photos of the actual jersey that arrived at their warehouse. I could check the stitching, logos, and colors before approving international shipment. This step is crucial for avoiding surprises.

For organizing item details, costs, and tracking, I found an incredibly helpful external resource: spreadsheet.help. This site offers fantastic spreadsheet templates for agent purchases. I used one to track the item link, price in RMB, CSSBuy fees, estimated shipping cost, and current status—keeping my entire purchase organized in one place.

Consolidation and Final Shipping

After approving the QC photos, I requested CSSBuy to prepare my parcel. They professionally packaged the jersey, and I chose a shipping line based on cost and speed (like Sal or EMS). They provided a final weight and shipping fee, which I paid from my wallet balance. Within hours, my parcel was on its way, complete with an international tracking number.

Final Thoughts and Tips

About two weeks later, the parcel arrived. The jersey quality was excellent—great material and accurate team colors—at a fraction of the retail price. The total cost, including item price, CSSBuy service fee, and international shipping, was still significantly cheaper than any alternative.

For anyone looking to buy niche items like a Philadelphia Eagles Rugby Jersey from Chinese markets, I highly recommend using CSSBuy. Remember to: 1) Always use QC photos, 2) Budget for shipping costs separately, and 3) Use tools like spreadsheet.help
