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 MATERIAL than you actually
need. 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? Carpet Measuring

Carpet - 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 even 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's warranty on "second grade carpet". You only get a
manufacturer's warranty when you buy "FIRST-GRADE" materials and
order your carpet from an authorized dealer. You can save money buying
second-grade carpet if you know what to look out for.

to you exactly what you need to know to save the most money and help you
protect yourself from this common carpet scam and many others. How to Buy
