Why Buy from 1688?

1688.com is Alibaba’s domestic wholesale marketplace where retailers and resellers source products at factory-direct prices. Jersey prices are significantly lower than on Western e-commerce platforms. However, purchasing hurdles include:

• No international shipping on most items
• Mandatory bulk purchases (MOQs)
• Chinese-only interface

Step-by-Step Guide Using Orientdig

Step 1: Find Your Desired Jersey

To browse Cleveland Guardians MLB jerseys on 1688, use the product catalog curated by Orientdig-affiliated spreadsheets like this one. It lists:

• Replica & authentic jersey styles (Home/Away/Alternate)
• Sizes (Asian/US sizing guides differ)
• Current wholesale prices (updated frequently)
• Seller trust ratings

Step 2: Submit Your Purchase Request

Orientdig requires you to provide the 1688 product URL (found via the spreadsheet) and desired specifications (color, size, quantity). Their bilingual staff verifies stock availability and confirms shipping/logistics costs before payment.

Step 3: Shipping & Consolidation

Orientdig purchases the jerseys on your behalf and handles:

• Warehousing in China
• Quality inspections (important for counterfeit-prone items)
• Global forwarding via DHL/FedEx/USPS (4–15 days)
• Optional repackaging to reduce volumetric weight charges

Key Considerations

Authenticity & Quality

1688 suppliers range from OEM factories to low-tier replicas. Orientdig’s “Inspect Before Shipping” service (+$3/item) helps avoid budget knockoffs by verifying MLB hologram tags and embroidery details.
