Interesting thing happened to me. Had a Jeep 4.7 needing timing guides and tensioners. I ordered them from my local supplier. Cloyes brand. Parts arrive and I get to work. I open the boxes and one tensioner was in a bag, one was wrapped in brown paper. Guides were a different color than what was on the screen when I ordered. Also in one box was a receipt for the parts being returned. in Texas. I'm in Alaska. Went to the parts store and he pulled another set off the shelf and we looked them over. This second set he pulled looked way different and much higher quality. So... some unscrupulous individual orders a cheep chinese timing set off Amazon, buys a quality set from parts store, swaps parts into parts store boxes and returns them. Bingo. They get name brand for Chinese prices. It sucks now questioning every single part that comes into my shop.
