Stupid chinese parts

More of a rant than a question. I'm currently on my 3rd voltage regulator. The one that came in my car when I bought it appeared to be the same I got from Napa. It was DOA. Exchanged it for another and that solved my problem last summer. Now my car reads at 14.5-16v. Some quick testing revealed the regulator is shot again. That's what I get for trying to save a few bucks and get a cheap one that says china stamped on the back. But in all fairness, it's what they had in stock. I've now spent twice the money and ordered a Mopar one. Hopefully have it in a week.
