For international fans of the Los Angeles Kings, obtaining authentic hockey jerseys directly from Chinese platforms like Weidian can be challenging due to language barriers and shipping restrictions. Fortunately, AcBuy, a China-based proxy shopping service, bridges this gap by facilitating seamless purchases. This guide will walk you through the entire process while introducing a useful product spreadsheet
Step 1: Understanding AcBuy’s Role
AcBuy specializes in "forward" and "reverse" proxy purchasing. For foreign buyers, it acts as a forward proxy
Step 2: Finding the Right Product on Weidian
Weidian hosts countless sellers offering NHL merchandise. To navigate options efficiently:
- Use the product spreadsheet
- Note the product links and store names for AcBuy’s ordering system.
Step 3: Registering with AcBuy
Create an account on AcBuy’s official website (mobile app available). Fill in your overseas address accurately to avoid delivery issues. International users may need identity verification depending on their country’s customs requirements.
Step 4: Submitting Your Order Request
AcBuy provides two submission methods:
- Manual Form:
- Batch Import:product data
Step 5: Payment and Proxy Fees
You’ll receive a quote covering:
- Item cost (converted from CNY to your currency)
- Domestic Chinese shipping (often free to AcBuy’s warehouse)
- International freight (calculated by weight/volume)
- Service fee (~5-10% of item value)
Payment methods include PayPal and major credit cards. Some users report discounts for first-time transactions.
Step 6: Quality Control & Shipping
Upon receiving the jersey at their warehouse, AcBuy’s team will:
- Inspect for defects (stitching, logos, NHL holograms)
- Send inspection photos/videos for approval
- Repack items to reduce volumetric weight costs
Opt for express couriers (DHL/FedEx) for faster delivery (7-12 days) or budget sea freight for bulk orders (3-6 weeks).
Pro Tips for Weidian Purchases
- Prioritize stores with “金牌卖家” (Gold Seller) badges for fewer disputes.
- Search “洛杉矶国王队冰球服” for Chinese listings—avoid “Kings” in English due to replicas.
- Monitor periodic promotions via the spreadsheet
