I've bought two bikes from BD, Motobecane Phantom Uno and SE Stout 29er. Both are good bikes, BTW.
The Uno has cartridge bearing hubs so no worries there but the cones on the wheels of the Stout were tight.
I automatically put the wheels on the truing stand no matter where I buy a bike.
Check the crank and chainring bolts, it only takes minutes, if there's no creaking I wouldn't go any further.
