nogueira/shaolin gear?

[mata-leao]

can anyone here help me on purchasing a minotauro or shaolin shirt?

minotauro.net has had a 'coming soon' for their virtual store since like 1980...i tried emailing them to see what the deal was, but my email gets sent back.

same thing with shaolin...they have a small products page (4 products! woo!)...they provide an email address for orders...again, email doesn't work.

THANKS

they used to sell their gear at MMAGear

but only a complete moron would purchase from them knowing the crappy customer service and horror stories they have...

I heard such stories too Fozzy.

I'm always amazed at the level of ignorance regarding business capabilities many fighting websites have. Many advisers of famous fighters or the people who are in charge don't have a clue about merchandising or how to spell customer service. They don't answer emails, shops are for months or years "under construction" while hundreds of potential customers search the Net for a cool fan product.
I remember around 2 years ago when I wanted to order some Fedor shirts for me and a friend and I tried to contact the official website. I had to mail them several times before I received a reply, then eventually they said that very soon a shop will be opened. Nothing materialised so I mailed again and they referred me to a japanese business contact who asked me for almost 90$ for one shirt alone. In the end I waited over a year until a shop opened on the Fedor website and bought my stuff there. Still they have only 3 products or so they offer. There are many more available as one can see on the Pride site but still you can order only a very small fraction of all from Europe.
