Default Ratech deluxe kit?

Have any of you guys used a Ratech deluxe kit lately? I just received one from Thunder Racing today and it was just a small box with basically everything thrown in it. The bearings and seals were all loose. The last time I used one of their kits a few years back everything was shrink wrapped neatly to cards. It seemed a little assenine to me to just throw bearings and seals in a box. I am just wondering if this in normal now?
