but a 2 grand plus box should be spot on,

How did you arrive at that figure?. Why not £1,500?, why not £2,500?.

As long as a box isn't obviously out of tune and is playable with relative ease then I would deem that an adequate factory setup. Setting up a box is such a finicky and painstaking operation and you simply can't expect an instrument made in a factory, even an expensive one, to receive the amount of time and effort a professional tuner puts in to get it just right; especially so when a "perfect" setup for one player is "not quite right" for another...

The only time I'd think it reasonable to expect a new box to be spot on is if you've directly discussed your requirements with the person making, or at least tuning, it.

Hi,
As I said above,reeds still need time to settle in and after 6-8 months of playing the tuning should be checked.
There are so many variables,air humidity when instrument made,reed blocks will alter with this change,also temperature,we recently flew a box over from Italy,a couple of hours in an aircraft hold at minus whatever,when I opened the box it sounded like a right bag of spanners,took 2 days to settle down.
