What’s it like ordering from dwindle now?

[TwisT]

Since the dwindle imploded earlier this year I was wondering if anyone had any insight on what it’s like getting dwindle brands In stock? Are they still accepting/shipping orders? Have they’ve been actively reaching out to shops? Are they actively trying to liquidate?

Does your locals carry dwindle? Did they ever? Have they restocked?

The 2 shops near me, never had dwindle stuff

[JugeL]

All Dwindle stuff been -50% and heard they won't really answer anymore

[GBLange]

dwindling and winding down..kinda like dsm boards..

[rocklobster]

Are we talking about Dwindle distribution or the DSM (Chop Chop) woodshops?

I know the woodshops are very much in business, a couple of brands like AWS / Habitat use a combination of China and local (Mexico) for their decks. And they've taken on smaller local brands from China, they come with the Resin-7 cardboard insert.

I was wondering if anyone is still there, or if everyone working for them quit (after the important people were fired) which would then mean there is no one taking orders, no one packing boxes and no one doing anything for the clowns that decided it would be a good idea to get rid of the people who actually knew what they were doing.

Any which way, it seems like they are completely cooked.


That was referring to Dwindle.  The DSM woodshop is supposedly still going at it, business as usual making the decks, but who knows really, unless you have been there or know someone who is dealing with it all.


Louie Barletta is getting wood from DSM for his new brand, so I am thinking everything is still a go on that front anyway.

the stock of dwindle products at the local is dwindling haven't had any new stock in months

[theloniousmonk]

Is tensor done?

[Slapsucksass]

Im not sure

I ordered a few of the clearance Monarch egg shapes to try, 7 days later and still silent.
I regret not reading up on the state of it before impulse buying.

Last catalog on their website was for Summer23

They moved warehouses after the buyout and were shut down for a while. I think they started shipping again last week, so I'd expect them to be working through the backlog right now. I should probably grab a couple of that mellow 8.37 x 31.6 square madness shape while they're still out there. It seems like Jacuzzi is just running the enjoi shapes (even the "deedz" one) so hopefully opera does the same with all the madness ones.

I think they are just backed up, everyone is clamoring for Leticia and Sky Brown decks.

Was that Summer 2023 or Summer 2022 on there?


https://dwindle.com/catalogs


Guessing they had more than just the 2022 release showing, but that is all that comes up now.

I don't really follow Dwindle stuff, so just checking more than anything.

Thanks.

it's been confirmed that the DSM woodshop wasn't part of the sale, thank god. that's still owned by globe, and those guys are skaters, like the company or not, but they're skaters.

I wonder if all the boards and other products from those catalogs did actually make it to full production and still yet to be distributed or they pulled the plug on everything / some things / have it all sitting somewhere in limbo.

Again, don't really pay a lot of attention, but everything here has pretty much dried up, so either the clearance old stock is all in the sale categories or things are just out of stock completely.

Yeah they know how to keep what is dear and cut the rest away, whatever may become of it, etc.

Can't blame them with things happening as they are though - sell it after it peaks but before it hits the skids, which was what has been done a ton of times over the years by successful pro skaters like Daewon, Rodney and others.

Talking about Globe there, not the investment company who bought Dwindle.

P sure the company who bought dwindle are interested just in brands….not manufacturing….so I guess it makes sense they don’t want anything to do with it…..

Guessing they were really only interested in money, which is how the "successful company" selling millions of boards a year would have looked so appealing on paper, but then when you cut the heart out, it is only a matter of time before the body dies too.

Whatever the case, it will be interesting to see if anything comes of it, or if it just ends up a dried up husk of a distribution company with generic team boards and recycled graphics that end up in suburban mall stores or department stores, more than anywhere else.

I probably sound like a bitter old man, but whatever hey?!?

I got a copy  email my order was ready to ship but never did, asked to cancel yet no response for 2+ weeks. First time contacting my credit card for a dispute, if it was still it Globes hands I'd wait but had a bad feeling.

Yup Jacuzzi and NHS [last I heard] still use them. Couldn't tell you who else tho, not many brands feel like DSM does.

It's perfect combo. Let me know what you think when you try it

[JimmyFive]

DSM woodshop seems to be going strong. Current Opera shapes are using the moulds of Madness shapes. There are slight changes with wheel wells and and outline but it's easy to match through wheelbase and concave/kick . Pretty sweet if you enjoyed the Madness line.
