Are Powerizers Fraud?

[ghostneo]

powerizer use to be the uk exclusive for poweriser but have lost their right to sell because they have started importing from China...powerizer from what i have heard on the grape vine have also lost the royalties right to sell this item and the contract will end with in the next few months.

I feel it is wrong that poweriserpages forum is supporting a company that has changed its name with a simple Z and using the orginal to promote its self.

dear ghostneo

i personally know the company behind poweriZer and they were the first importers of this product type and they have had the longest royalty contract with the patent holders who they go to germany to meet regularly.

they used to buy the korean powerisers but due to customer complaints about poweriSer, pro jump etc and other brands they were forced to get a new chinese manufacturer to make the product at the same if not better quality - AND if they were still selling powerisers you would be paying £250 - £300 instead of £200
for them cos they cant make them for cheaper in korea. in addition PoweriZer is not just a name change but a registered trademark, as with poweriSer etc - the PoweriZer company is the only repuatble company trying to sell this product - who have official PR company's and marketing etc - rather than just a dodgy company making cheap copies and feeding off their advertising

i think you should get your facts straight before you post on a reputable forum - rather than your "grape vine"!!

Hi Jake

If you personally know the company behind powerizer, you should ask them if it is true/false that the product is coming from the same factory as of pro-jump.


 you are to say pro-jumps have had complaints..... please give evidence of this before you put it on a forum.....

This Poweriser vs Pro-jump vs Powerizer vs Fly Jumper row,

when will it end? We get this over and over and over again on here. I'm getting tired of it personally. I know theres been a "summary of all things poweriser" thread, I think this is a good move and maybe one cast iron clarification of these brandings & trademarks should be produced.

I cant do this immediately but I think it would be a great move. Maybe a table of the crucial differences between each model would be good step, a comparison chart.

does it really matter if a company has changed a name with a z?   

[Lukey]

Well this is the burning question isnt it?!

To resolve this I'd like statements from liscenced re-sellers about their products and how the differ from the competition. Thats what I'd like to see and that I feel would resolve all of this now and in the future, lets get this thing nipped in the bud!

There is a problem, though. According to Mr. Boeck (Bock) he is not dealing with the Chinese manufacturers and states there are problems there. I do not know the nature of these problems. When asked which manufacturer to deal with as a reseller, I was referred to the Korean company instead. I wonder what the problem is? I own a pair of PoweriZers/Fly Jumpers (manufactured in China) and the quality is quite good. I am very satisfied with them.

Matt, Can I make a suggestion that you change the name of this thread as I don't think the title is fair to Powerizer UK.

Anyway - Dan, this is just a guess but the problem you are talking about with the Fly Jumper from your recent email could be related to trading ethics rather than a manufacturing quality issue!!

The Fly Jumper is openly marketed and sold to anyone who wants to them to all the countries where the patent exists. But if you get a quote from them they seem to forget to tell you that your breaking the law (Mysteriously this is left out!!). In some cases I believe customers are even encouraged to ignore the patent completely. If you were the inventor you wouldn't want to encourage the sale of a product that was basically trying to cut you out!!

Maybe the Poweriser company are a little more ethical in the way they appoint and sell, only a wild guess..

Does anyone else have any information that could verify this?

Nope, they just cannot  come to agreements with the patent holders. They have tried to make a deal to be able to sell their product in the U.S. for some time now, but to no end. They are looking for someone else to do all the leg work in getting their product to the U.S.

You know it is quite scandalous that ALL the companies selling jumping stilts will sell to you and NOT tell you that it is illegal to buy  and sell this product inthe U.S. I have encountered many people that have bought jumping stilts in the U.S., then be shut down the moment they start to sell. You want to talk about ethics? none of these companies have good ethics.

dont u mean "sell"??

its not the responsibility of the consumer to find out if laws are being broken by a company that shouldnt be selling them in an area they shouldnt.

[Dan Silverman]

I think what he means is that it would be illegal for the RESELLER to purchase the product from one of these unauthorized manufacturers and then for me to try to SELL that which I have purchased. You see, if I, as a RESELLER, tried to sell these items then I would be breaking a law. There is a lack of ethics on the part of these unauthorized manufacturers when the fail to tell potential resellers these facts.
