What does the $700 include? Are they replacing all bearings and seals?

Are they removing your differential, or are you delivering and picking up and doing the install yourself?

$700 is not too bad if you are just dropping off the car, with the gears.

The guys at ECS do gears lock stock and barrel for around $1400 which includes the gears and installation. So $700 might be a tad bit high if you are dropping off the diff to them.
