Crazy, kind of... you going to do it?
At our shop, that would be $100 for assembly and then tear down and repackage for shipping, ala carte install fees on components, buyer pays shipping.
The parts going on the bike -- did they buy them from you? If so, maybe a break on install.
I dunno: I can kind of see the logic. All kinds of scary stories of BD bikes not right out of the box, and no local trusted LB; why not have someone used to dealing with FG bikes assemble and adjust the bike correctly? Still saving money over any name brand bike (maybe) + pro assy/adj + pro install of parts.
