Default Strut /shock refills / strapped ?

Are new strut/shock refills supposed to be kept strapped (so they are slightly compressed) until mounted ? I found what looks like a good buy on some new OEM stock type refills but the straps are off....maybe older supplier inventory.
Any problem with them being fully extended for a long period ? Fitting 97 EX rear.
Thx
