Product review (5 stars): Genuine GE replacement filters
This GE water filter normally comes as a single item in a GE box.  With previous bad experiences with non-boxed items bought online (e.g. ink cartridges) I was 'nervous' about this pair of unboxed filters.  I am happy to advise that they arrived very promptly and are the genuine GE RPWFE filters, brand-new, with the factory shrink-wrap protection and RFID chip included.  This chip is essential when changing filters because it 'talks' to my GE refrigerator electronics and resets the display expended filter warning automatically for another 6-month cycle.  This reset cannot be done manually.  The RPWF filter (without the E) does not have the RFID chip and is not suitable for my refrigerator - the water system shuts down.  The price for the pair of RPWFE filters was about 10% less than my local appliance store.  I am happy with the price , the prompt delivery and the brand- new GE quality.
