That wasn't the case with my NDK Romany Explorer.  I bought it from GRO who ordered it from the UK.  When I showed up to pick it up it was still wrapped in plastic, as shipped.  The only thing they had to install after unwrapping it was the deck compass.  The foot pegs were already installed.

BTW, GRO's basement is every bit as interesting as their showroom.  Racks of kayaks, work table with pre cut blanks for bulkheads, etc.  :)
