It will be interesting to see what happens. On the SlickDeals threads many people are saying that they are getting UPS tracking numbers already, and that Amazon tracking is saying “Picked up by carrier” but when checking on the UPS site it simply says “label created”.

Ha, I thought the Quierkat deal was good. I just bought an extra battery for my Ibex for $300. Less than $300 for the whole shebang is nutz.

This was a post on the SlickDeals thread. Basically saying that the scam is such that whomever is supplying these to Amazon is giving fake tracking numbers. I’ve seen stuff like this ( print a label off of Pirate ship or something) on FB marketplace groups. I have no clue how they could get UPS to mark as “delivered” though…

Even if this happens it would be thousands of occurrences and the credit card companies will sort it out especially at this volume.

Good info. I'm always curious what the angle would be. Getting a box of rocks would suck. This thing ships from Amazon directly, so I don't think that could happen.

Another possibility is that the seller was using FBA (fulfillment by Amazon). When looking into this for my company a while ago, they do stock your inventory for a while. But if it doesn't turn over, they hit you with a storage charge based on size. On bikes, that might be expensive. Maybe they misjudged demand and this is the fire sale. Although this looks to be sold by Amazon directly, so who's to say. But wow, that's a heck of a deal.

There’s tons of speculation at this point so I guess only time will tell

I've already received an email about the EB warranty but no shipping info as of yet.

Bought it on n CC (AMZN, no less) and probably shipped by AMZN so zero concern about being scammed.

Lots of info on SD if you want to kill some time. Link HERE.

Simply details of the warranty. Cost, duration, covered item and the like.

Also, I just now got an email that my EB was shipped and will arrive on Dec. 15th. Like holy cow!

It says it ships directly from Amazon. I think you all will be pretty safe. If I hadnt just bought a new backpack, I would pick one up. The weight limit is the only thing that would concern me but for the price, worth the risk.

Was that the Amazon warranty? I’m assuming not from the manufacturer…

I just got shipping notification as well for both of them I ordered, lol… and it’s just the ‘label created’ status when checking UPS

I haven’t gotten the warranty email yet though

My wife ran the fulfillment for a sporting goods store. As soon as the label was created, they would mark it as "picked up" so they could say they met their less than 2 hour ship time. This was mandated by corporate to ship within two hours and to mark them that way. UPS and Fedex would only come once a day. If you ordered it one minute after, it sat there until they came back the next day but it said they had picked it up.

Only Rokslide could convince me to throw $300 at this when I have a perfectly good QuietKat sitting in the garage.

Got an email from amazon that my order shipped and delivery date moved from the 22 to the 15th.

The UPS tracking hasn't update yet.

I'm seriously thinking about buying a 2nd one to have another battery/parts bike.

The whole bike off amazon is cheaper than a battery of the company website
