Mulebuy specializes in China-to-global procurement with services including:

• No China-Only Registration Required
• Consolidation Shipping to Save Costs
• QC Inspection During Procurement

Unlike platforms that primarily service Taobao or Tmall, Mulebuy understands 1688's wholesale-focused ecosystem – crucial when buying items like soccer jerseys where bulk discounts apply. For verified jersey listings, our team curates options at this spreadsheet

Step-By-Step Procurement Process

• Avoiding listings with "replica" (复刻) or "fan version" (球迷版)
• Prioritizing stores with ≥4.8 ratings and recent transactions
• Mulebuy's product spreadsheet automates this via the cheap/robust sorting option

Order Through Mulebuy

1. Register at Mulebuy’s international portal (English UI available)
2. Submit the 1688 product link (or select from the premade sheet)
3. Enter quantity/sizing notes (Asian sizes often run smaller)
4. Choose optional QC add-ons like stitching inspection

Upon warehouse receipt, Mulebuy sends HD photos for approval before onward shipping.

Logistics Considerations

We advise:

• Budget 18-29 days total transit for European destinations
• Declaring 15-20% below actual value (prevents customs delays)
• Air vs. sea depends on order volume (3+ jerseys qualify for volumetric discounts)

Pricing Case Study: Haaland 23/24 Home Kit

Quality Verification Protocols

Counterfeits remain rampant across Chinese marketplaces. Mulebuy follows strict authentication:

1. Badge hologram verification via UV light
2. Stitch density analysis per minute
3. Number/name print adhesion testing
