Anyone test this yet and wants to report back?
Are you asking if anyone has bought boards directly from there?
Quite a few people have, all USA based I think.
When I did the calculations, the shipping for anywhere else in the world was just too much to make it worthwhile, so although the board prices are really good, shipping tends to be more than the boards cost, so even ten boards, it was still barely better than other sale BBS boards here in AU.
The other blanks thread, along with the Setup thread have quite a few of them, maybe even the 9"+ big boards thread too.
Ah, I hadnt seen that, thank you for taking the time to clarify! Looked too good of a deal.
You are definitely not the first person to ask if it was legit, or a scam or something either.
Sad to say that people have had too many "unwanted surprises" in recent years, but BBS wood through Generator and their "samples" site is all above board, but more than anything, I am surprised there are not more of the in between distributors selling these and other blanks, so maybe they try to keep it a bit more low key / in house compared to some that really try to sell the most they can to anyone they can, however or where ever they can...
At least from a shop perspective, it is not hard to get your own shop boards in whatever shapes, sizes, quantities you want, given everyone seems to be lowering minimums and taking on new accounts. That unfortunately also goes for every other person wanting to do their own brands - no issue there, if you actually know what you are doing - but there have been a few more new brands popping up that seem like they have no clue as to how skateboarding, shops or the industry in general work, so usually end up fizzing and clearing stock and moving on to something else, but in the mean time, causing a bit of a stir in a local scene for a minute anyway.
