No bad experience I can recall except for the guy who didn't pack them in the begining. His bearings went south and when he tore it apart there wasn't any grease in them from the factory. My truck goes much faster than the trailer should so I wanted to see how they where doing after a thousand miles or so as well as make sure they were packed well. My HF hub has a grease zirk so I'll probably just grease them between trips and repack the bearings every spring.
