As football fans in the U.S. seek affordable ways to buy team jerseys, many are turning to Chinese wholesale platforms like 1688.com. However, direct purchasing isn't always feasible due to language barriers and shipping restrictions. This is where Joyabuy, a reliable China-based forward and reverse proxy service, comes into play. Below is a step-by-step guide to acquiring authentic-looking USA football jerseys via Joyabuy, complete with budget-friendly options from this product spreadsheet.

Joyabuy supports multiple shipping methods to the U.S.:
Method | Cost (Est.) | Delivery Time |
---|---|---|
Sea Freight | $1–$3/kg | 25–40 days |
Air Freight | $5–$8/kg | 7–15 days |
DDP (Duty Paid) | Included in quotes | 12–20 days |
Payment options include PayPal, Wise, and Alipay. Note that Joyabuy charges a 5–8% service fee on orders below $300.
After confirmation, Joyabuy procures the jerseys, conducts quality checks (optional), and ships them. You’ll receive tracking numbers via email. For bulk orders (>50 jerseys), request "Letter of Inspection" from the seller via Joyabuy to avoid customs issues.
On 1688, prioritize stores with "Gold Supplier" badges and transaction records exceeding 500/month.
Asian sizes run smaller. For NFL/NT jerseys, size up once or twice (e.g., Order XL for a U.S. Medium fit). Refer to size guides in the spreadsheet.
Combine orders with friends or use Joyabuy’s "Warehouse Consolidation" to reduce per-unit freight costs by 30–60%.
