not always good!!
i got a seized rear sierra caliper (duely replaced which was fair) and a driveshaft that was badly dented on the pressed steel bit, and the outer joint was a bit stiff still is).
also asked for full steering column and rack, just got upper collumn and rack (guess i shoulda been more specific)
all parts quite rusty and in need of pretty substantial attention.

I've experienced these problems too sadly

Pair of front callipers, needed when my local didn't have any sierras in. One seized piston, and no carriers included. Not a happy chappy. Wanted me to pay extra for them too.
