Purchasing international brands like Under Armour from Chinese marketplaces can be challenging without a reliable proxy service. Hoobuy offers a convenient solution for global shoppers looking to buy authentic Under Armour HOVR shoes and other products from Taobao. This guide explains the step-by-step process while introducing valuable resources like Find's Spreadsheet, a detailed product comparison tool.

Why Use Hoobuy for Taobao Purchases?

As an official Taobao purchasing agent, Hoobuy provides several advantages including local purchasing power, consolidated shipping, and multilingual customer support. Unlike individual buyers who might face payment restrictions or language barriers, Hoobuy has established systems to verify Under Armour's HOVR series authenticity through partnerships with authorized Taobao sellers.

Step-by-Step Purchasing Process

1. Product Verification

Cross-reference Under Armour HOVR model numbers using Find's Spreadsheet

2. Purchasing Through Hoobuy

Once you've identified your desired:

1. Submit the Taobao product link via Hoobuy's order form
2. Select additional services (QC inspection, original box retention etc.)
3. Confirm payment including estimated shipping costs

Shipping Considerations

Under Armour shoes typically require volumetric weight calculation due to their box size. For reference, HOVR Phantom 3’s packaging measures 38×28×15cm (~4kg volumetric weight). Hoobuy recommends DHL Express for speed (5-10 days) or Sea Freight for bulk purchases (30-45 days).

Authenticity Checklist (Before Shipping Approval):

• Compare sole pattern with official Under Armour website images
• Verify presence of security chip (certain HOVR models)
• Request photos of tags with production dates

Cost Breakdown Example

For HOVR Sonic 6 (CN¥599 retail):

Local Taobao Purchase	CN¥599
Hoobuy Service Fee (5%)	CN¥29.95
Domestic Shipping	CN¥0 (free in mainland China)
International Shipping (1.5kg)	CN¥180-240
Total Estimate	CN¥800-870

Still 30-40% cheaper than Western retail prices during non-sale periods.

Transaction Safety Tips

Always:

• Require inspection photos showing production batch codes
• Compare prices against multiple Taobao Gold-rated sellers
• Refer to updated reviews on Find's Spreadsheet
