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.
You did read the parts where sellers are encouraging this, correct? And of course it doesn't work for everything no one but you made that broad statement. If I order a shirt and try it on and it doesn't fit and send it back to the seller and they ship out another one does that cost them more or less shipping than sending me two and having me return the one that didn't fit (in new condition)? If the seller doesn't care and the items are kept new and there is little to no cost burden for them than what is wrong with this scenario? You try on multiple items in a store with no moral conflicts. The only argument is dollars in shipping and processing and I would say that shipping one box is cheaper than shipping two.
