The Purchasing Process: From Search to Shipment

1. Product Research and Selection

   Your journey starts with finding the right supplier. Rather than browsing 1688 blindly, a curated list can save immense time. A highly useful resource is this external product introduction spreadsheet. This spreadsheet typically compiles verified 1688 vendors specializing in football apparel, noting details like price tiers, quality ratings, minimum order quantities (MOQs), and links to specific storefronts. Use it to identify 2-3 promising sellers offering the specific Dortmund season, player printing, or vintage style you desire.

2. Registering on MuleBuy

   Create an account on the MuleBuy website. Upon registration, you will be assigned a unique personal warehouse address in China. This address, complete with a dedicated storage code, is crucial for the next step. Familiarize yourself with MuleBuy's dashboard, where you will later submit orders, track parcels, and manage shipping requests.

3. Placing Your Order on 1688

   Navigate to 1688.com (you may need to use browser translation). Find your chosen jersey listing using the links or store names from the product spreadsheet. For Dortmund jerseys, pay close attention to sizing charts (Asian sizing often runs smaller), material composition, and buyer review photos. At checkout, input the Chinese shipping address provided by MuleBuy. Proceed to payment. Here, MuleBuy's second key service activates: Order Assistance. You may need to send the order details and payment amount to MuleBuy's customer service, who will complete the transaction using their local payment methods.

4. Consolidation and International Shipping

   Once the supplier ships the jersey(s) to your MuleBuy warehouse address, the platform will notify you. They will inspect the package for visible damage upon arrival (note: this is not a quality check of the jersey itself). If you ordered from multiple 1688 stores, you can request package consolidation
