Y’all do know that DLX has a pretty solid warrantee program, right?
If that thing breaks early, follow the instructions on the card that came shrink wrapped w/ your deck (or also on the website) & roll the dice. They’re chill about replacing shit if it’s actually defective and not just a shit landing by a big boy. Pretty easy to tell the diff.
As for wood, it’s all BBS (REAL/AH/KRKD) except for the completes. Word has it those decks are China, but better to get the specifics on that info from somebody who knows more than ol’ Lou.
There are a few DLX employees that lurk up on here if I’m not mistaken; maybe one of them can clarify.
The cards haven’t been in DLX boards in nearly a decade. I almost forgot that was even a thing.
Suppose there’s this as well.

Have been lucky enough to not have to pay for a Deluxe branded board since ‘99 (thank you, good homies!) so I don’t really know about their current state of packaging. Probably shouldn’t have spoken on the matter in the 1st place, TBH.
Still, that BBS wood shop is still one of my favorites though.
Oh you don’t have to pay for deluxe boards? Way to support the skate industry asshole.
Doesn’t mean I don’t pay for other stuff.
Beefs, cop or not, you
ARE aware there are other companies for me to give money to, yeah?!?
I’ve been around the local scene here in the bay for long enough that I don’t have to pay for product if I don’t want to. That DOES mean that my choices are limited to the “Local Area Network” so to speak, but if I can find a shape I like in the DLX line up, I can make a call. Not a status thing to boast about so much as a byproduct of being active in a scene for nearly 4 decades. Way I see it, Beefs, you need to make some new friends on the inside. Once you reach a certain age, if you haven’t figured out how to wrangle free (or at least at cost) product, you may not have been putting in the work.
Not going to apologize to you for being part of a scene that doesn’t have a problem hooking an old bruh up when he needs something.
Just so you understand my first point in this reply, all five current setups are on non DLX wood, some have non DLX metal & urarhane as well. the four back up boards on ice also happen to be non DLX. And guess what... I paid for ‘em. Admittedly, with a discount, but that’s not relevant to my point. Why pay when free is a phone call away? Because I’m picky about my set up & DLX stopped running my favorite shape for a while, so...
I won’t hold my breath for an apology from you, bless your little heart.
