As a die-hard Boston Bruins fan living outside the United States, getting my hands on an authentic Adidas Bruins Home Jersey had always been a challenge. The official NHL store and other US-based retailers either didn't ship to my country or charged exorbitant international shipping fees. That's when I discovered Orientdig, a Chinese purchasing agent platform specializing in helping global customers shop from Chinese e-commerce giants like Tmall and Taobao.
Tmall is a treasure trove of official brand stores. The Boston Bruins official flagship store on Tmall, for instance, carries a wide array of authentic jerseys and merchandise often at prices significantly lower than those in the West, especially during sales events. However, the site is primarily in Mandarin, and most vendors only ship domestically within China. This is the gap that Orientdig fills perfectly.
The appeal of Orientdig
My journey began after a friend recommended I check this fantastic finds spreadsheet
After selecting my size (52), I proceeded to checkout on Orientdig's platform. The total was transparent: 599 CNY for the jersey, 0 CNY domestic shipping (as the store offered free shipping within China), a small service fee, and a calculated estimate for international shipping to my country. I paid securely using my international credit card. The whole ordering process took less than five minutes.
Approximately two days later, I received a notification that my jersey had arrived at Orientdig's warehouse. Their system uploaded photos of the package for my inspection, allowing me to confirm the item was received correctly—a fantastic quality control feature. With the item securely stored, I then instructed them to proceed with international shipping. I chose a reliable but economical shipping line, and my package was on its way within 24 hours.
The entire timeline, from placing the order on Orientdig to the package arriving at my doorstep, was just under three weeks. The jersey was perfectly packaged and was 100% authentic, complete with all the official Adidas and NHL Fight Strap tags. The total cost, even with all fees and international shipping, was still about 30% cheaper than the lowest price I could find from a site that would ship to me directly.
I couldn't be happier with a platform. Orientdighere first
