For fans of Manchester City FC living outside China, purchasing authentic club merchandise can be challenging. While Taobao offers great deals on official jerseys, international shoppers often face language barriers, payment issues, and shipping restrictions. This is where Orientdig, a reliable Chinese purchasing platform, comes into play.
Orientdig bridges the gap between international customers and Chinese e-commerce platforms. Their services include:
This is particularly valuable when buying merchandise like the current season's Manchester City home or away jerseys from Taobao, where counterfeit products are common.

Once you've found your preferred shirt variant (home/away/third kit), copy the Taobao URL and visit the Orientdig website.
Paste the link in Orientdig ordering system, specify details (size, quantity, special requests), and submit your order.
After receiving payment, Orientdig will purchase the item, store it in their warehouse, and prepare for international shipping.

Orientdig supports multiple international payment methods including PayPal, credit cards, and bank transfers. First-time customers might need to verify identity for security purposes.
Always check current estimated delivery times as international shipping speeds can fluctuate depending on your location, any customs restrictions, and seasonal demand.
