Company ethics - opinions.......

[MSicotte]

Here's just a thought to chew on. While researching some new toys for my truck I came accros Defiant truck products. Under their "news" heading on their website it outlines how Carli suspension has been marketing Defiant's products and also Shokspeed's products as their own. Shokspeeds website also has this information posted. My question to all of you is this, does this type of unethical corporate behaviour discourage your decision to make purchases from them? Personally I feel that with the amount of options available to consumers, especially consumers with as broad of a fact sharing base as those here on TDR, that a company would be more careful in its dealings. My 2 cents, what do ya'll think?

does this type of unethical corporate behaviour discourage your decision to make purchases from them?

I've spent money with Kore in the past and was satisfied, but after doing some research, this is what persuaded me to look elsewhere when it came time to buy a suspension package... so yes, behaviour/ethics/morals/etc matters alot to me!

I will add my 2 cents here. Carli NEVER said any Defiant or Shock speed products were his ! Yes he Sold and installed them helping both companies.

The shock tower brace was improved because of Carli's input. I had the earlier version and the stronger improved version,I also have the light bar that Paul touted as being strong enough to use a hi lift jack on... ... ... . it is not. I found out the hard way . The shock Tower brace has Victor O designs cut into the plate as well as Carli's name. They were delivered to Carli from Victor that way.

I'm not chosong sides, because I am not involved with either party and am not fluent on perhaps some of the previous issues with those involved. I was just more curious as to the effects of a companies' behaviour on a purchase decision. As always, sounds like there is more then meets the eye, that in itself suggests certain claims need to be taken with a grain of salt.
