Not this time.

The purpose of the posting was to remind people that you always have to
inspect even new parts to make sure they are of good quality.  In this case
the brake kit was of excellent quality but the packing and shipping was
substandard.  The vendor was made aware of the problem and promptly replaced
many lost and damaged parts.
