that sucks. Doing set ups is not very difficult it just takes someone to show you how to do it and help guide you through it yourself. I used to be paranoid about doing anything with my guitars but now I only take it to a Techie when I want a really really top notch job or there is a major problem. I was lucky in that my tech back home offered to show me how to do it for free when I brought my main axe in and since then have brought it in once a year for a good professional overhaul. I keep her running, he gives her a tune up
Most "out of the box" guitars only really need action and intonation done for them, especially if you dislike whatever low-quality thin guage strings that came with it. For example I use such a heavy guage now that I don't even try out guitars in stores anymore because I just can't play on 10s or 9s at all and if I did purchase a guitar from a store then I would have to do a good deal of work with the trust rod, action, intonation, pickups etc etc. However the vast vast majority of people how play Electric play with 10s and not the phone wires I use hahaha
