SERVICE DETAILS
From a listing to a purchase with clear steps
For jersey enthusiasts and collectors outside China who already have a link and need help buying. We draw on our purchasing and consolidation experience to coordinate communication, arrival and shipment.
We review the listing and available seller information, confirm the variant and ask about availability. The quote defines purchase assistance and later services, such as arrival photos, measurements, condition checks and authentication coordination when requested.
Send the listing and exact variant
A product link is required for this request. If information is unclear, include the questions you need resolved before buying.
- Listing link and the exact size, version, colour or variant.
- Quantity and budget with currency, stating what it should cover.
- Measurements, condition or details essential to your decision.
- Delivery country and whether you want to combine several items.
- Additional checks or authenticity assessment you want to discuss.
From your link to shipment
Start with the listing. We clarify the details with you; purchase and shipment are confirmed separately.
01 — Share the listing
What you share The link, sport, team, season, exact variant and quantity; budget with currency and delivery country.

03 — Compare on arrival

Sharing a link does not authorise a purchase. Arrival checks document the agreed scope; any authenticity assessment is arranged separately.
Understand each part of the total
The listing price is not necessarily the cost of receiving the jersey. Some charges, including international shipping, depend on the items received, packing and destination; we identify when they can be confirmed.
- Item price and the seller’s delivery within China.
- Purchase assistance and agreed handling services.
- Additional checks or external authentication, if requested.
- Storage where applicable, packing, consolidation and international shipping.
- Applicable destination charges and what the quote includes.
Before authorising a purchase
Keep the seller’s exact term, reference and photographs of the item. Separate design season, product line and stated provenance. Commercial use of “Replica” in an official catalogue does not itself imply counterfeiting; it also does not prove that a particular listing is legitimate. Identify the check still missing before deciding.
For costs, distinguish estimates, amounts supported by a proposal and unresolved items. Associate each figure with its date, currency, service and package version. If dimensions or a transport rule are missing, shipping remains pending; it does not become free. A decision can remain on hold while that information is gathered.
Continue with: Authentic, Replica and reissue · Consolidation and shipping.

What each service checks
A listing describes the seller’s offer; it is not independent verification. Arrival inspection records visible details and condition within the agreed scope. Authentication is a separate assessment with its provider, method and limitations identified.
Not every seller accepts returns, and an inspection does not itself create a return entitlement. Before buying, we clarify options for misdescribed or uncertain items. Shipping and consolidation are arranged according to the goods and routes available.
Questions before buying from a listing
Which photos should I request if the listing only shows the front?
Request photos of the specific item: full front and back, neck label, inner labels and close-ups of the crest, sponsor, name and number. Identify any stains, pulls, cracks or peeling you want clarified. A catalogue image does not document the seller’s shirt condition; areas that are not shown remain unchecked.
Is a matching product code enough to approve a purchase?
We do not treat a matching code as a certificate. It is considered alongside the season, version, labels and photos of the item; conflicting details need clarification before a decision. If you need an authenticity assessment, we separately agree who can provide it, the evidence required and the result format. You can leave the purchase pending while essential information is missing.
YOUR NEXT STEP
Bring the listing and your open questions.
We work through the missing details before you confirm a purchase. Use the message outline to prepare for the conversation.
