Deal Details
https://sondors.com/products/sond...0300682306

Using Code: THANKS200 you get an additional $200 off this already low deal for a pretty decent e-bike.

Shipping cost goes down to $150 after using the code.

I purchased one during the last deal for my wife and am very happy with it. Had to take it to the bike shop and spend $80 to get it tuned up and get the disc brakes repaired. No biggie.

Weird! Last time it was $100 flat rate shipping. They must have been losing money on the shipping

Not overpriced, just realistic. That's what it costs to ship something this big and heavy across the country. Other companies will bake the cost of shipping into the sale price.

Agreed shipping is a significant cost for the manufacturer but $300 is steep to ship one bike within the state. I got the $300 shipping fee quote for CA also.

It's $300 to DE, too, so that's their "flat rate."
I'm not interested, but I'd be concerned about a 90 day warranty.

Last time? No.... It WAS indeed 100 bucks previously, but the last promo that was run for over a month (Just ended last week) has been $150 for shipping.

Not trying to be pedantic for pedantics sake, just want to give folks accurate data if they feel like they should wait for cheaper shipping later... that ship has sailed.

$150 for me in SF, CA. The shipping price is $300 before I put the code in.

Sonders HQ is in SF, CA...so maybe it's shipping from there and thus your "discount"? Smilie

The code does work, the shipping does come out to $150 and is a realistic cost. But with a 90 day warranty and the online track record they have thats documented, this is a pretty expensive USED folding ebike for close to 700 bucks. They are similar spec 350w 36v 10ah ish setups new to be had on Amazon that will at least give you the return (albeit a pain) aspect vs this scenario.

If this was $500 to the door, i already would have got it, but for another 2-300 i will go new with some form of better return policy/company aspect.
