I absolutely second this.
On personal rides, everything i get either used or new gets taken apart before being built. Everything.
On customers bikes, i always ask if they want it built "like if it was mine" but that's going to be a favour for a good customer or an extra to pay.
I could never imagine getting a bike shipped, putting the wheels on and riding it.
Each part i didn't get my hands into is a potential problem coming up.
