They all play these games. You will get your bike and it will be great. I know the wait is a drag but things are really really effed up. There are container ships stacked up like san pan fishing boats off the S Cal. coast. They can't ship your bike till they know it can get off-loaded. I know the bike is worth waiting for because I have a Frey Bike. An AM1000. It is a gas. And built really well. It took over 8 months to get here from initial order by Bolton Ebikes. HANG ON !
An update. I received my bike yesterday. It took a lot longer than I expected. The Shipper stated that a label was created for 2+ months and then tracking was available 2 days before the bike arrived. Allen wrench tool and a hat were in the box, which was a nice surprise. I waited 7 months after ordering the bike. Opportunity cost of waiting is high, but the first ride was fun.
