A dismantled frame would be a lot less in freight than an assembled frame, and you have to pull it apart anyway to fit the glass.
Also each piece could be bubble wrapped before being boxed.
I have also heard most people report the glass is cracked when delivered (I guess I was lucky that mine wasnt).
When fitting glass and fitting to car or fitting wind wings, mirrors, sunvisors, make sure you check your screw/bolt length before fitting.
That is one tip I was given and touch wood, have not cracked a screen yet.
I now have a couple of small stone chips so come early Feb I will get my one replacement screen each year.
