Many students at Baker University buy sport shirts from Chinese e-commerce exported sites, Taobao is the most popular Chinese online website. Normally it costs $80-$120 for one piece of sport shirt in United state, while only 15$ on Taobao. However, it needs to wait for a longer time, overseas college students still prefer to buy from Taobao as they can save a lot of money.
