I had a custom built mountain bike years ago that I covered this way, it got stolen, and USAA asked me to build a shopping cart on a cycling shop website with the parts, they then paid me the total of the shopping cart, to the cent including taxes and shipping.
Thank you so much for the quick response!
That is a great help!
