I cant wait until Eddie is selling all the gear here/on 10p website. The prices melee charge for shipping to the UK etc is an absolute pisstake. Especially if only ordering an item or 2 like patches. :-)

Yeah i know mate, we need a uk place to become a stockist of 10th planet stuff !
From what i've seen, Melee is producing the stuff and charging retail price full stop. This is very common in the paintball world.
Ideally, the producer would charge wholesale, then 10th Planet affiliates would be able to charge retail price and everybody gets to pocket some profit to pay the bills.
(note this is just what i've seen, i could be talking completely out of turn here.)
For sure bro. If i was still in the MMA gear retail business i would sell 10p stuff without a doubt.
I noticed you train at CSA, in Strood isn't it? Have heard many good things about that place. :-)
Yeah mate its in strood, been out for a while coz i tore my shoulder and then when it healed the club i was bouncing at shut down so i had no money to train (was training full time so was expensive) so only training a few times a week at the mo :( good gym though ! Cant wait to train full time again lol

That has nothing to do with Melee, thats the prices set by the shipping companies.Quote:

All i wanted was 2 10th planet patches LOL. I shouldn't have to pay $12 per patch (obviously i am cool with paying that part), then $40+ for shipping, and then that is not even taking into consideration the $40 customs charges we most likely would have to pay on top of that just to get the item delivered because they have held it back. You could actually ship those 2 patches to the UK from the USA via usps for under $2 (actually $1.75), i just checked.
If the shipping charges were half way reasonable i am certain sales would increase - if melee had the stock. Anyway, i am sure it is something Eddie will look at before transferring everything over, and melee stopping distribution in December. :-)
Ok so through out all these post there was no specific answer given?!? I just got my blue belt about 3 weeks ago and i went online to the site to get a shirt and came across the same problem none in my size....sooooo were do us Ronin warriors go to get our gear?!? I wanna rep my school in tournaments. Is eddie gonna set up to sell gear on here, or go through another outside vender?? I think offering all gear on here that would be much easier, and make it official, also maybe the funds generated from the merch sales could go towards lower the price of the traincation? Just a thought
I would rather buy directly from this site myself.
