Story: I ordered a set of rotors and pads from RockAuto. One of the rotors arrived with a chip on the outer edge, as if it had been dropped, so I returned it for a replacement. The new rotor arrived but in a different box. The initial order arrived in a Centric box, but the replacement arrived in a generic black box. The initial rotor is wrapped in thicker plastic as compared to the replacement. Everything else seems to be the same except for what appears to be minor paint blemishes. Replacement is on the left and the initial is on the right. One looks a little brighter due to kitchen lighting. Side note: count your blessings if you are not OCD. It really sucks.
I'm going to assume the original box got damaged at some point and a generic box was used, but why different plastics (both sealed, by the way)? Does Centric have different manufacturing facilities?
