Step 1: Jersey Selection and Verification

Begin by exploring our product spreadsheet

Pay close attention to customer reviews and ratings within the spreadsheet comments section. Previous buyers often share insights about product quality, accuracy of team logos, and overall stitching craftsmanship. This preliminary research phase is crucial for ensuring you select a reputable supplier before proceeding with your purchase.

Step 2: HooBuy Account Setup and Deposit

Navigate to HooBuy's official website and create your personal account. The registration process typically requires basic contact information and email verification. Once your account is active, you'll need to fund your HooBuy wallet. The platform supports multiple payment methods including PayPal, credit cards, and sometimes cryptocurrency depending on your region.

Calculate your required deposit by considering both the product cost and anticipated shipping fees. For first-time users, it's advisable to deposit approximately 20-30% above the estimated total to accommodate potential price variations or additional services you might require later in the process.

Step 3: Submitting Your Purchase Request

With your HooBuy account funded, proceed to submit a purchasing request through their system. You'll need to provide the exact 1688 product URL copied from our product spreadsheet. Include specific details in the order notes: desired size, color preference, quantity, and any special packaging requests.

HooBuy's purchasing team will typically confirm your order within 24-48 hours. They may contact you if there are inventory issues or if the supplier requires additional order verification. This communication happens through your HooBuy account dashboard, so monitor it regularly during this phase.

Step 4: Quality Control and Warehouse Processing

Once HooBuy purchases your jersey, it's shipped to their Chinese consolidation warehouse. Here, they offer valuable optional services including product photography verification. For a small fee (usually $1-2 per item),他们会 provide actual photos of your received jersey, allowing you to verify the quality before international shipping.

This quality assurance step is particularly important for jersey collectors seeking specific details like accurate number fonts, proper sponsor logos, and correct tag placement. If the item doesn't meet your expectations, you can request an exchange through HooBuy's communication system.

Step 5: International Shipping and Customs

After approving your jersey, you'll select your preferred international shipping method. HooBuy offers multiple options including EMS, DHL, FedEx, and various budget-friendly alternatives. Consider factors like delivery speed, tracking availability, and insurance options when making your selection.

For single jersey shipments, many buyers opt for standard airmail which typically delivers within 15-25 days. If you're ordering multiple items, consolidation shipping can significantly reduce per-unit costs. Remember that customs regulations vary by country – HooBuy can assist with proper declaration paperwork to ensure smooth border clearance.
