Looking to buy authentic Adidas UltraBoost
Why Choose Adidas UltraBoost from 1688?
1688.com offers genuine Adidas UltraBoost models at significantly lower prices (30-50% cheaper) than western retailers. However, since 1688 only serves Chinese customers, you'll need a professional buying agent like Loongbuy to:
- Handle communication with suppliers in Chinese
- Process payments in RMB
- Inspect product quality before shipping
- Arrange international logistics
Step 1: Find Your UltraBoost Model
Step 2: Register with Loongbuy
Create your Loongbuy account (free to join) and configure your shipping preferences:
| Service | Cost | Delivery Time |
|---|---|---|
| Airmail (No Box) | $12/kg | 15-25 Days |
| DHL Express | $28/kg | 5-10 Days |
Pro tip: Enable the "Bulk Inspection" service ($5) to have Loongbuy photograph your UltraBoost before shipment.
Step 3: Placing Your 1688 Order
Using Loongbuy's ordering interface:
- Paste the 1688 product link found in the spreadsheet
- Select your UltraBoost size (Euro sizing) and color
- Choose packaging options (authentic box costs $3 extra)
- Pay through PayPal or credit card (Loongbuy charges 8-12% service fee)
Important:
Step 4: Shipping and Customs
Once your package arrives at Loongbuy's warehouse:
- You'll receive QC photos (important to verify boost cushion authenticity)
- Can request consolidation if ordering multiple pairs
- Select final shipping method (declare below $800 to avoid US duties)
The ePacket shipping method (11-18 days) offers best value for 1-2 pairs, while EMS (8-12 days) handles multiple pairs better.
