If you're a fan of the Montreal Canadiens and looking for affordable hockey jerseys, ordering directly from Chinese wholesalers on 1688 can be a great option. However, since 1688 doesn't support international shipping, using a proxy buying service like Hoobuy can make the process seamless. This guide will walk you through purchasing a Montreal Canadiens jersey via Hoobuy while using a helpful product spreadsheet from Finds.Cheap to compare prices and styles.
