Yoybuy Finds
Living outside China used to make getting authentic sports merchandise from Taobao quite difficult—that is, until I found Hoobuy. In this article, I’ll take you step by step through my journey of ordering a genuine Seattle Seahawks rugby jersey via Hoobuy, a China-based purchasing and forwarding platform.
While there are several forwarders that facilitate shipping from China, Hoobuy stands out because of its user-friendly dashboard, package consolidation services, and careful inspection processes. Orders can first be shipped to Hoobuy’s domestic warehouse, then consolidated to lower international shipping costs.
Whether you’re buying jerseys, electronics, or household goods, Hoobuy simplifies everything from making the order on Taobao (which is predominantly in Chinese and accepts only Chinese payment methods) to safe international delivery.
I began by visiting https://finds.cheap/, which provides detailed product findings on Taobao, including seller ratings, materials, and pricing. This made it incredibly easy to discover premium quality Seattle Seahawks rugby jerseys without having to manually translate Taobao’s vast product listings.
After selecting the store and confirming the design, I reached out to Hoobuy’s customer service to confirm the listing details. Their team helped verify availability, sizing accuracy, and delivery within China.
Once validated, I used Hoobuy’s “Make Purchase” service, pasting the Taobao product URL into Hoobuy’s order form. Funds were loaded into Hoobuy’s internal balance system using PayPal – a major convenience for foreign customers.
The whole process was straightforward: enter the links, provide requested selections (color, size), and make payment. Hoobuy handles purchasing and maintaining updates until the item arrives in their warehouse – about 3–5 days typically.
After receiving the jersey in their warehouse, Hoobuy automatically created photos of the received products and asked me to confirm them. This quality control step is great for ensuring product color, labeling, and general appearance match before international dispatch.
Because Hoobuy offers consolidation, you can order from multiple sellers on Taobao or other Chinese platforms, then receive all items in a single shipment at a reduced total shipping cost – much better than multiple individual feeds from China using standard forwarders.
I selected EMS shipping for my jersey purchase, which cost around $25 including packing fees and insurance for lost/damaged items. If extra services like foil packaging needed to be requested, it’s always configurable via their order dashboard. Each step comes with prompt tracking updates. The package left Shanghai arriving at my address within 10–12 days to the US West Coast.
