I agree it would be nice to have a ball ready to go out of the box.  But it's very rare that this happens.  Most likely it will need to get some final adjustments which in all reality would be better to just get the ball and have it drilled at your local shop.  Unfortunately doing this will probably cost more(thats all I'm going to say) than if you buy the ball from your local pro shop.  If you need a bag or shoes, I would go that route with the gift card. 

I also agree with Track_Fanatic.  Personally, I would rather have the shop that I go to drill anything I buy because my driller already knows the fit I'm going for and can adjust on the spot if needed.  An online shop can do a good job.  However if the fit isn't exactly how you want it, you're still having to go back to your own shop to have any changes made.
