The NBA store recently announced the top jersey sales of the 2009-2010 season. Once again, Kobe Bryant found himself on the top of that list. No surprise for the second spot on that list, two-time MVP LeBron James. The following spots were filled by Boston’s Kevin Garnett, Chicago’s Derrick Rose, and Dwight Howard of the Magic. The only reason Oklahoma City’s Kevin Durant was as low as 10 despite leading the league in scoring is most likely because he plays for a small market team.

The NBA store’s sales are highly affected by their sales in New York City. At Top Sports Jerseys, we have similar rankings but they aren’t identical. We may have a better pulse on the national average since the store is online and easily accessible by shoppers from around the country.

Our top 5 list consists of LeBron James, Kobe Bryant, Dwayne Wade, Rose, and Durant. That should shock nobody as all five players had stellar seasons. Durant’s push came towards the end of the season as he caught up to James as the league’s leadining scorer. He led his team in the playoffs and helped them take the Lakers to 6 before falling short. Rose and the Bulls played hard against the Cavs but fell short again this year. Rose’s performance in the playoffs helped his jersey sales cause.

Among all the players in our top 5, only Bryant remains in the playoffs. We’ll show results at the end of the post season to see how the jersey sales rankings stack up. For now, rest assured that the four remaining teams – Orlando, Boston, LA, and Phoenix – are all making strong sales.

Buying an NBA jersey online in Australia for the first time can be a mine field for the inexperienced online shopper.

The truth is, with a bit of knowledge, buying your next NBA jersey online from Australia is quick and easy, but there are some ‘rules’ which you should follow to ensure you are getting the best deal. Here are 3 top tips for buying an NBA jersey online in Australia.

Tip #1 – Shop Around

The shopping window that has become the Internet gets better and better by the day, and online stores are putting great effort on ‘pretty on the eye’ websites. This is all good and well, but are they really offering you the best deal?

You can answer this question by making sure you shop around. This is no different to shopping around at different shops or supermarkets, it’s just online and way easier!

When buying an NBA jersey online in Australia don’t automatically assume the official NBA website, or official team page will offer you the best deal. There are literally hundreds of online retailers who sell NBA jerseys at different prices, so take advantage of the competition and seek the best deal.

Tip # 2 – Check Freight Costs

One of the biggest barriers to buying your next NBA jersey online may be the freight costs. Postage to Australia from the US can be expensive, especially when purchasing large amounts or bulky items.

Before you go crazy and load up your shopping cart check that:

a) the retailer does indeed ship to Australia, and

b) what the costs are

You could find that a particular retailer doesn’t satisfy either or both therefore you should move on to the next retailer.

Tip # 3 – Check for a Returns Policy

Particularly when buying an item of apparel such as an NBA jersey, there’s nothing worse than receiving it only to have to return it because it is the wrong size. Although returning an item may be straight forward, it is more the hassle (and extra wait) that is the problem.

Although this should be a given, do make sure that a sound returns policy is in place, in particular what, if any costs (for example, the postage cost for you to send the item back) you will need to bear.

A good way of avoiding the potential for this is to check the sizing chart for each NBA jerseys you buy. Most good online retailers will include a sizing chart for different items and manufacturers. It is in their best interest to do so also, as they want to avoid a returns process as much as you do!

So there you have it. 3 top tips for buying an NBA jersey online in Australia. I am a huge NBA fan living in Australia, and have been buying NBA merchandise online for quite some time, having had both good and bad experiences in the process.

However, one site has continuously stood out from the rest. Pro Sports Gear has been a store I have, of late, made many purchases from. In particular their freight costs to Australia are second to none, and this is what tips the scales in their favour over others.

Hopefully these 3 tips have helped you make your next NBA jersey purchase from Australia easier, you can read more about our search for NBA and NFL merchandise here.
