Step-by-Step Purchase Process
-
Find Your Desired Jersey on Taobao
First, visit Taobao.com. Use keywords like "Fenerbahçe Beko jersey 2024", "费内巴切球衣" (Fèinèi bāqiè qiúyī), or "Fenerbahçe basketball authentic" in the search bar. You will find numerous sellers. Pay close attention to product ratings, seller reputation, and buyer reviews with photos. Crucially, note the product URL.
-
Navigate and Order Through Joyabuy
Go to the Joyabuy website and create an account. Locate their "Buy for Me" or "Product URL" submission field. Paste the Taobao product link you found. Joyabuy's system will fetch the item details. Here, you must specify all options: Size (S, M, L, XL), Player Name/Number (if customizable), Quantity, and any specific color variations.

Make Payment and Wait for Delivery to Warehouse
Proceed to checkout on Joyabuy. Pay for your item(s) and the domestic Chinese shipping fee to Joyabuy's warehouse. The seller on Taobao will then ship the jersey to Joyabuy's domestic address in China. You can track this stage in your Joyabuy account under "My Warehouses".
-
Consolidate and Ship Internationally
Once Joyabuy receives your jersey, they will inspect it and store it in your private warehouse space. If you order other items from Taobao or other Chinese platforms, you can have them all sent to the same Joyabuy warehouse. When everything is ready, you submit a shipping request from the warehouse. You will choose an international carrier (e.g., DHL, EMS, FedEx), pay the shipping fee based on weight and destination, and then Joyabuy will pack everything securely and dispatch it to you. Provide your accurate home address for final delivery.
