For international fans of FC Barcelona's basketball team, purchasing authentic merchandise directly from China can be challenging due to language barriers and shipping restrictions. Kakobuy, a Chinese reverse purchasing (代购) platform, bridges this gap by helping global buyers shop on 1688.com (Alibaba's wholesale marketplace). This guide will walk you through the process of securing your FC Barcelona Bàsquet basketball jerseyprice-comparison spreadsheet here.
Unlike direct 1688 purchases requiring Alipay, Kakobuy accepts:
• PayPal (+4.5% fee)
• Credit cards
• Bank transfers (lower fees)
Shipping options:
| Method | Cost (approx.) | Delivery Time |
|---|---|---|
| DHL Express | $18–$25 | 5–8 days |
| EMS | $12–$20 | 10–20 days |
| Sea Freight | $5/kg | 30–60 days |
When browsing 1688 via Kakobuy:
• Sellers with "不支持退换" (no returns) in descriptions
• Listings showing stock photos only – request actual images
• Prices below ¥80 for "authentic" jerseys (likely counterfeits)
A ¥150 jersey (from the spreadsheet) has these estimated added costs:
• Kakobuy service fee: ¥20–¥50 (depending on order value)
• Domestic shipping to Kakobuy warehouse: ¥4–¥12
Total still under €30 compared to €75+ on EU retail sites
Kakobuy provides:
• QC photos within 48hrs of warehouse receipt
• Size exchange coordination (seller-dependent)
• Reimbursement assistance if items arrive damaged
If Kakobuy lacks stock for certain designs from the spreadsheet, consider:
• Superbuy: Better for small test orders
• Pandabuy: Faster QC but higher fees
Purchasing through Kakobuy democratizes access to wholesale-priced FC Barcelona Bàsquet jerseys
