Had you bought your parts at TA, the parts charge would be at least double that. Plus your wheels didn’t actually fall off like this guys, so I’m guessing the shop actually did him a solid deal.
BTW, in the future, buy the Meritor multi-ribbed rubber wheel seal. They have been flawless for me and are far less likely to be installed improperly, which is most likely the cause of your warranty claim.
Wheel seal, Help!

If your spindle is pitted, likely on older equipment, use the stemco seals that have the sleeve that goes over the spindle where the seal sits. Works wonders.

This is where a good story saves a mechanic's butt. 9 hours labour seems high but we have no idea if the guy had to call a mechanic out to chain up an axle or how badly the spindle and hub were damaged. It all takes time. Taking the invoice at what it says I can't see how 9 hours is justified.
