I would hope the average inexperienced customer would have more common sense than the average inexperienced doorknocker.

Although I find that parts usually have under-sized, philips screws included, or occasionally both screws and tape.

The only parts I can think of that only have tape included are the ones that can only be mounted with tape, such as the "vanishing" contacts from Secure Wireless.  This is one reason why I don't use those contacts.
