With prices like that I would expect Chinese bearings, I got a Chinese bearing from Repco years ago and there was no grease in it.
Price isn't the best choice to use for parts purchase, quality is what people should look for.
Top outer ball joints on a Hilux replaced every WOF until quality joints were installed.
