To be fair here, Amazon has now contracted with many LBS' here in Seattle (and I think the US in general) to pay for professional assembly of all complete bikes purchased online. Yeah, Amazon may be murdering a certain segment of the cycling industry, but my shop here gets paid the full rate for assembly of bikes ordered via Amazon. That's a pretty good policy for a multi-national corporation.
All that being said, seriously go to your LBS next time. They will make this process take all of 30 seconds with a pair of calipers.
