Stillpoints Counterfeits
 
Dear Stillpoints Customers - World Wide,

There are counterfeit Stillpoints coming from mainland China. We have sets here at the factory and know them to be quite inferior.

It is virtually impossible to duplicate the specific materials, and processes, that are required to build each “US PATENTED" Stillpoints product. If the right material is not used, or one process not done properly, any copied Stillpoints product will not perform as designed.

Stillpoints has been the leader in micro-vibration abatement since 2002. We wholeheartedly recommend purchasing only from authorized outlets. If purchasing a used product, please email the factory at info@stillpoints.us to verify authenticity.

Stillpoints LLC
Factory - info@stillpoints.us
Phone - 651-204-0605

Looks like ALL my Stillpoints COULD be counterfeit...

Likely made with the Chinese gov't support. :icon_thumbsdown:

Wow, that’s crazy....no offense to Stillpoints of course but are they in that kind of worldwide demand that counterfeiting is that profitable????? Not exactly a household name.

Anything with a low manufacturing cost relative to it’s sell price is a counterfeit candidate. Cables are an especially lucrative counterfeit business.

I’ve had the pleasure of seeing the Chinese government seize and burn tens of thousands of counterfeit products our corporate fraud team uncovered.

Watch knockoffs so good, even jewelers are often stumped. All that talent of manufacturing things yet they often put it into fake copies. Well, it is understandable why, no one will buy a Chinese watch for a Swiss Rolex money, at least not today... But if they can afford to make a fake that is hard to tell apart from a Rolex or a Vacheron that sells for a few hundred bucks... Why is Rolex, Vacheron and other Swiss brands charge so much more? :D

Stillpoints are an easy target. A small piece of turned metal...

It was only a matter of time. Least surprising thing I have seen this week.
