For hockey fans outside China, purchasing official Alexander Ovechkin jerseys from Chinese e-commerce platforms like Weidian can be challenging due to language barriers and international shipping restrictions. This guide will walk you through using Mulebuy, a reliable Chinese forward/reverse proxy shopping service, to acquire authentic NHL merchandise at competitive prices.

Why Choose Weidian for Hockey Jerseys?

Weidian (微店) is a popular Chinese marketplace similar to TaoBao, often offering better pricing on officially licensed sports merchandise. Many authorized dealers sell imported North American products at lower prices than Western retailers. The platform features:

• 30-50% discounts compared to NHL shop prices
• Access to limited edition designs
• Direct-from-factory deals on authentic gear

2023 Home Jersey (Weidian)	$57.20
Mulebuy Service Fee (10%)	$5.72	DHL Shipping (680g)	$18.50

This compares favorably to the $189.99 retail price at NHL.com.

Alternative Platforms

If Weidian lacks inventory, consider searching TaoBao (using "奥八 冰球服" as search term) or JD.com through Mulebuy's platform. Recent spreadsheet updates show TaoBao sellers offering customized throwback Ovechkin Dynamo Moscow jerseys.

Remember to always reference the shared spreadsheet

Note: Some manufacturers produce "overrun" jerseys - authentic but with minor stitching variances. These are marked accordingly in the spreadsheet's quality rating column.
