Retail Carpet Scams Are Common
In my E-book, I reveal the common
and not-so-common carpet scams and how you can avoid becoming a victim of them.
The Measuring Scams
There are dozens of ways that carpet retailers can take
advantage of you. One common Carpet Scam is to OVER-MEASURE
or to
charge you for more MATERIALS then you actually needed. This scam allows
retailers to overcharge you by hundreds of dollars and is very easy for them to get away
with it. How would you know if you are being over-measured? I'll show you.
Rolls of
Carpet displayed on the showroom floor
Buying carpet off
the showroom floor can be a costly mistake. When you see rolls and rolls of
carpet displayed in a warehouse type of carpet retailer, those rolls of carpet
may be defective or deemed "SECOND GRADE MATERIALS". In this
case, you may be buying a carpet that has visible or invisible flaws or defects.
Once installed in your home, those flaws or defects may become noticeable weeks
or months later. You may not have any recourse if this happens and you may end
up with a carpet that does not last as long as you had hoped.
There is no
manufacturer warranty on "second grade carpet". You only get a
manufacturer's warranty when you buy "FIRST GRADE" materials
and place your order from a manufacturer's carpet sample. You can save money
buying second-grade carpet if you know what to look out for. In my ebook, I
explain to you exactly what
you need to know to save the most money and protect yourself from carpet scams.
Buying carpet not suited to
your needs.
It is not easy to
select the right carpet that will MEET YOUR NEEDS AND LIFESTYLE. If you
rely on the advice of a carpet salesperson to make that choice, you may be
making a huge financial mistake. There are many factors that determine what
carpet will work best for you. I'll provide you with the knowledge you need to
make informed choices.
