I guess that depends. Do you have a axle disconnect or not?
If you do, then maybe they screwed it up. Check the vacuum lines......If you don't have the disconnect It's hard to see that happen after a seal replacement. Your shifter works , right?

i belive it is a disco 30 and shifter does move and feels like its in 4x4 just don't feel like front axle is locking in.

Assuming you have a disco axle, I would check the vacumn lines as thats easy to fix yourself. They may be knocked off or maybe even put back on wrong. Otherwise, I would give them a call and see if they'll take care of it.

If something was working before you brought it into the shop, and now doesn't, I'd take it back.

Take it back to the shop... If it's a good shop, they should fix it free with very little conflict.
