Techs> Bad to Take Parts to be Installed?

Short>> Is it bad form/impolite to take parts bought elsewhere/internet and have them installed when car is in for other work? Wondering before I ask.
Less Short>> Car in for serious amt of work before big trip: trans, motor mounts, c-arm bush, headgasket, AC rebuild, elec gremlin. Since car's all apart anyway & blowing $, considering also repl radiator, f pump, trailing link bush, other stuff. What bits might I buy?
I realize some shops make significant part of income on parts sales while the labor charges basically cover shop overhead, so I don't mean to "cheat" or offend my trusted tech. Nor do I want to make headaches by ordering wrong part or incomplete kit. And when it's just a couple high parts charges, I don't mind the cost 'cause it's reasonable. But this is A LOT of hardware at typical OEM-shippped-overnight-prices, for a job that'll take 2 weeks.... that I could source elsewhere. TIA,
