Step 2: Setting Up JoyAbuy
Register on JoyAbuy’s platform to obtain a Chinese forwarding address (usually located in warehouse districts like Shenzhen). The interface supports English and multi-currency payments. Enable notifications in your account to receive updates when packages arrive at their facility.
Why Choose JoyAbuy?
- No purchase limits: Unlike some forwarders restricting branded goods, JoyAbuy accommodates sportswear shipments.
- Photos upon arrival: They provide high-resolution images of received items before international dispatch.
- Shipping flexibility: Options range from budget postal routes (10-20 days) to express DHL (3-7 days).
Step 3: Purchasing on Tmall
When checking out, input your JoyAbuy-provided address exactly as specified, including your unique member ID. If shopping via mobile, use Tmall’s app which retains automatic translation features for non-Chinese speakers. Payment methods typically include international credit cards or Alipay.
Step 4: Consolidation and Shipping
JoyAbuy will notify you once the jersey arrives at their warehouse. Consider pairing it with other lightweight purchases to optimize shipping costs using their package merging service. They also offer insurance (1.2% of declared value) against loss or damage during transit. For real-time tracking, the platform integrates with AfterShip.
Potential Considerations
- Sizing: Asian sizing often runs smaller; consult JoyAbuy’s measurement guide before confirming.
- Import taxes: Customers in the EU or UK may face customs fees—JoyAbuy can undervalue packages upon request.
- Design variants: China-exclusive colorways occasionally differ from US NFL shop releases.
This method provides cost savings up to 40% compared to western retailers, particularly when leveraging China’s mid-year sales events. Total shipping prices vary based on volumetric weight calculations—a single jersey with standard packaging usually ships for $12-$18 globally via ePacket.
For replacements if received with defects, engage JoyAbuy’s customer service within 48 hours; their local team facilitates returns to Tmall sellers. Suggestions during holiday seasons (e.g., 11.11 sale): dispatch shipments quickly post-arrival at warehouse to avoid logistical delays with high volumes.
