  1. I don't care if this bike is made from string cheese, these days you can't even ship a bike for 79 bucks...lol how is this possible?

  2. Small print on the Walmart website: "Product may ship in multiple packages which may be delivered at different times."

    Walmart probably gets some serious deals on shipping, so I don't doubt it.

  3. Shipping for WalMart is incredibly cheap. They ship their stuff from China is huge combined shipments, we're talking container ships full, not just containers. 50 or 60 bike cartons among the hundreds of thousands of items shipping with them are not going to run that much, probably less than $1.00 per bike. Then transportation to their distribution centers is by rail, again many many items. That is probably no more than $2.00 per bike. From the distribution centers, they go by truck only a short distance, 300 miles or less, with a lot of other stuff that the individual stores need or have on order. They never dispatch a truck until they have a complete truck load which keeps the costs down, so maybe $2.00 for this shipment for the bike. So shipping for WalMart is $5.00 or less for this one bike. That leaves $75.00 for the wholesale price of the bike and WalMarts markup. But slaves and political prisoners work cheap and that is why this bike costs so little. Buy one and post a review for us. I need a good laugh.
