I had a nightmarish time last year buying a complete set of 12 point craftsman sockets from sears online.
The first lot arrived at the store in a brown cardboard box from china and about half the sockets were missing. Returned it, complained, ordered another set, same issue.
Their customer service was shocking throughout.
I'd recommend buying an old set of Craftsman on Craigslist - or if you're lucky and find snap-on or Mac at a good price grab them. Otherwise I hate to write it but Harborfreight tools are mostly pretty much on par with Craftsman these days...
I don't think Sears had much control over the sockets they sent, I think they came direct from their supplier in China with no quality check by Sears before delivery.
The packaging was all in Chinese and was basically a bunch of random sockets thrown in a brown cardboard box, no branding.
They were the lazer cut Craftsman sockets with the bigger type on them which I like as you can see the size while grovelling around in the dark under cars, or at least sockets made with the same format. I still have 20 bucks of sears consolation money to spend online due to this debacle but it's hard to know how to spend it...
