Sorry I did not reply earlier as I have been taking a break from this site while the operators have been trying to fix the site issues.
Anyhow, user maxfly and a few others are right. The physical build should have taken about 6-8 hours for an occassional builder. A technician working in a mom-and-pop PC store should be able to accomplish this is about 4-6 hours. Add another 4-6 hours to install an OS on a handy m.2/SSD and test out basic functionality.
I will point out that tardy delivery of the UPS and SSD should not have slowed down the builder from doing the initial hardware build and software testing. This should have been done within 48 hours.
In the future, you should look for a well-established (preferably around for decades) mom-and-pop PC shop that does a *LOT* of this building, not some sloppy hobbyist slacker. These mom-and-pop stores live and die from their customer service and will hire technicians who can get the job done efficiently and reliably (two things your particular builder doesn't seem to be very good at).
Anyhow, enjoy your build and hope your guy got it right.
