For international fans of football legend Johan Cruyff, purchasing his authentic jerseys from Chinese platforms like Weidian can be tricky due to language and shipping restrictions. Fortunately, Kakobuy, a reliable China-based proxy shopping service, simplifies this process. This guide will walk you through purchasing a Cruyff jersey using Kakobuy, including references to this product spreadsheet
Weidian hosts countless sellers, but not all offer genuine products. The linked spreadsheet
Kakobuy acts as your intermediary. Follow these steps:
- 1. **Register** on Kakobuy’s website.
- 2. **Submit the product link**: Paste the Weidian URL of your chosen jersey into Kakobuy’s order form.
- 3. **Add requirements**: Specify size, color (Ajax, Barcelona, or Netherlands versions), and packaging preferences.
- 4. **Request a quote**: Kakobuy will calculate the total cost (item price + service fee + international shipping).
Their team speaks English, so clarify doubts via live chat or email. Average service fees range between 5-10% of the item’s value.
Step 3: Payment and Shipping
After approving the quote:
- Pay via Kakobuy’s secure checkout (PayPal, Wise, or credit cards accepted).
- Kakobuy purchases the jersey on your behalf and handles quality checks. They’ll share photos of the item before shipping.
- Select your preferred carrier (e.g., DHL, EMS) based on speed and budget. Shipping to Europe/US typically takes 10-20 days.
Tip: Request “folding packaging” to avoid extra volumetric weight charges.
Alternative: Using Taobao/Kakobuy
If Weidian lacks stock, check alternative sellers on Taobao
- **Cost-effective**: Avoid markup prices from Western resellers.
- **Quality control**: Kakobuy verifies authenticity, unlike direct orders where replicas are common.
- **Consolidation**: Combine multiple orders (e.g., football scarves) to save on shipping.
