Front wheel has to be pushed into fork because dropout opening is undersized.
Front and rear brakes have different reach requirements, got very lucky to find some nice brakes with enough adjustment range.
Seatpost would not go in, had to take it to it to a local frame builder to have the seat tube reamed.
Paint overspray on BB threads, had to take to LBS to have it chased and faced.

None of these were show stoppers. just unexpected inconvenience and minor extra cost but in the end it turned out well.
There is a risk when you order a custom frame from overseas for things to go wrong and when they do you may have limited options.
Communication can be difficult.
