I ordered 4 COP Delphi units from Rock Auto, the same one I have ordered many times before and was shocked to see what they sent me. The issues with Rock as of late are many but that is another story. Because the old Delphi was reboxed OE up to Oct 2020 and this one had a torn bag and has been wiped down I suspect a old one returned. They sent 1 old box one and 3 new ones.
After speaking with Delph technical they told me it is possible the Chinese ones are not genuine (notice I said possible not that they are) and because RA is not an authorized dealer they would not warranty them at all never mind the 3/36, that is up to RA. I ended up sending these back and ordered through Orio which is the official OE parts distributor after GM discontinued the brand for not too much more.
The bottom line is just be aware before buying Delphi that it may not be the same quality as it was not even 6 months ago for the same price or even higher.
