Advanced Tips for Best Results
Sourcing Authentic Jerseys:
Look for these red flags on Taobao listings:
- Sellers offering "exact MLB replicas" below $30
- Missing holographic authenticity stickers in product images
- Generic "baseball jersey" titles without Verlander's player number (35) or team details (Astros/Mets)
Shipping Optimization:
Mulebuy calculates shipping costs by volumetric weight. Reduce expenses by:
- Selecting "Remove Original Packaging" unless keeping tags
- Choosing regional carriers like Yanwen
- Consolidating with other purchases (5+ items get 12% discount)
Customer Experience Notes
Based on user reports:
Custom declarations labeled as "Sports Cultural Shirt" (instead of "Baseball Jersey") often pass customs faster. Sub-$130 declared value rarely incurs import taxes for US buyers.
