Did you build it yourself?
How much did you pay for shipping, if you paid for shipping?
If there's a problem with the bike and it needs to be shipped back to them, how much will that cost? And with whom will you deal? And how long will it take to get an answer on the problem? For example, the frame cracked. You ship it back. You wait. And wait some more. Meanwhile the summer ebbs away...
That's why. If you don't want or need any service, they save the money on that.
