To Our Customers:
Let us first apologize that you, our customer, must again be confronted with the petty issues that we find ourselves being forced to deal with on a daily basis. We would prefer to simply sell our products in peace and let our competitors do the same, but we have yet again been forced to respond to defamatory claims made by our competition. In spite of the fact that we've requested JPI to remove false statements regarding our product, they continue to persist. It is interesting that we have NEVER had similar issues with ANY other competitor, and in fact we have enjoyed friendly banter with all of our competitors, except JPI. We are confident that the superiority of our products is abundantly clear when compared to JPI's, so we don't feel the need to sling mud in their direction by inundating you with page upon page of complaining, as they have felt it necessary to do on their website, as well as in their ads against us. Instead, we will let the unparalled quality of our products and customer service, along with the comparison provided below, speak for themselves.
Thank you so much,
Electronics International
