Doesn't this site seem like a seller scam?

Only a few hundred off BD's price https://www.bikesdirect.com/products/..._talon_tri.htm
For my money though I'd pay the extra and get it from BD directly, because I'm certain they aren't a scam

Hmm well if you put something in your cart and click to check shipping it comes up $20.00 for anything no matter what you put in there and any quantity like 10 bikes.
Also it never has a place to check what size you want, so let's see I can order 10 Cervelo S1's for $920/each and pay a total of $20 shipping.
Yeah it all adds up ......

Kinda reminds me of this site - https://targin-jaya.com/
Even has the same half capital half lower case letters for the first letter under product description instead of Tires it says tires.
Probably a basic layout for one of those many many scams they have over their.

How much money do you think people make selling bikes?
The math makes no sense.

I ship stuff internationally every day.
You can't ship a box of twinkies half way around the world for $20.00US.
A complete bike would be roughly 10 times that amount.

Nothing on that site adds up to anything but a scam.

We use commercial brokers for large shipments or EMS for single boxes.
I don't care who you use. You can't ship a bike internationally for $20.00US. If you know a way it can be done I would give my left nut to know (and I'll even pay the shipping).
