That’s what I wrote.
No barcode is for one.
4cl/6cl/8cl from 1 box
8cl you get 2 boxs
6cl you get 1 box + 2 loose (or no box 6 loose in a bag

I posted the box of 4 (pack quantity 4) and the individual boxes (pack quantity 1).

I have two boxes of 4.

Each of the pack quantity boxes have the pack quantity 4 barcode.

Each of the single quantity boxes have the single quantity barcode.

*Edit:
The purpose of this thread is to give a basis of comparison for others.
Bought through Holden, I can only assume the security of their supply chain is assurance enough that these are the real deal.
I’m not posting to compare costs at all. Yes they cost me a bit, but if that’s what it takes to be assured they aren’t fake, then that’s what it costs.

Intro:

What AC Delco say:
https://www.acdelco.com/counterfeit-auto-parts

Counterfeit parts have found their way into mainstream outlets in the past. Fakes are becoming very good and it’s now at the point that to really tell, they have to be cut down the centre to reveal the cross section.

This is also true of NGK and Champion, as well as other major manufacturers.

So to further the topic of counterfeit spark plugs and the difficulty in identifying genuine from the knockoff, here are my AC Delco Irridium spark plugs for my LS1. These were purchased through Allan Mance online store.

Of note, the cut, the silver line, the barcode, the letter placement and the date of trade mark registration.
I think those boxes are counterfeit, they’re not baby blue:)

I see.
My mistake sorry.
Our scanners at work don`t read single spark plug box just 4 type barcode box.
Then other brands have 10 in a box barcode on the box get scanned.

As I said above
" If I scan the barcode it will show Qty. in stock "

Surely if you buy from Amazon (not through a reseller, but Amazon proper) they just mass order from acdelco direct.

I bought some plugs recently FROM Amazon US and for all intents and purposes they look identical to the genuine ones as shown in the video. If the counterfeit are getting that good, eventually, going to a reputable place is the only way to be sure that you are getting the real deal... Then again, how do you know they haven't been duped themselves?

Amazon or eBay would be the last place I’d go to to be sure I have something genuine.
Independent sellers are what make Amazon as well. Just like eBay, they use Amazon as a platform to sell what they want. Amazon isn’t buying stuff. It’s sellers are.
