The other way to deal with this is to go to a store you know that carries it, try the item there and then go order it cheaper on the internet. Which way do you think is more wrong?
Ordering one and then returning it and getting an exchange actually would cost the company more money in shipping.
Well then you heard it here first. Moving forward everything should be bought in 2's...why not 3's on the internet...why not 5's?...say every color?...if there is no added cost to anybody for return? Hey, maybe this will be the future for all things...like computers and even cars...why not bikes? You could buy say 2 or 3 bikes from bikedirect put them all on your trainer, pick the size you fit best and just return the other 2 you don't. Hey...it doesn't cost anybody anything...shipping is now free. What we learn from this thread is it is now cheaper to buy in multiples and then return the stuff we don't like.
