Are there any problems with the K&S brand Fork Seals?

Fork Seals
I have not used K&S before. Have tried another brand off ebay (forgot the name), but they were not even close. When I reported to them that I had a problem, they wanted me to ship them back (at my expense) so they could see if the seal was the problem or if I was the problem. I responded with saying that if they wanted them back, they needed to send a call tag. Have not heard from them since.
Afterwards and since then I have only used genuine Yamaha replacements from either boats.net or NWVCP.com. No more often than this has to be done, using OEM replacements works for me and makes good sense.
