How To Buy Carpet
Wholesale Online
There are plenty of
reputable carpet wholesalers and just as many not-so-good carpet wholesalers. But
even if you buy from an honest and reputable wholesaler, you still need to know how to do it
right. They are not in the business to educate you. they are in the
business to sell a lot of carpet every day, every month and every year. These
guys move a ton of product and they don't have time to hold your hand every step
of the way.
You must:
-
Know exactly what
product you are buying, (quality, specifications, durability)
-
Know the terms
of the contract, including return policies and warranty.
-
Avoid verbal
promises. Every detail must be written into the contract.
-
Know your
consumer rights and responsibilities.
-
Understand how
the wholesale carpet business operates.
-
Take the time to
make sure every "T" is crossed and "I" is dotted.
You can save a lot of
money on new carpet if you do it right, but the key is to be well-informed. In this
report I explain the potential benefits and common pitfalls that you might encounter when
you buying carpet online from a Dalton Georgia Carpet outlet store. You have a
lot to gain, and you have a lot to lose. Knowledge is power and I can help you
be a winner.
Come
one come all...The call to great savings...
Ads by google,
annoying pop-ups, banner and display ads shouting "Buy
Carpet Wholesale!" are very common on the internet these days. Is it
really true that you can buy new carpet at wholesale prices? The answer is yes,
sort of. Well, maybe. It's quite possible. Let me explain.
The truth is, buying
carpet from an online source can be hazardous to your pocketbook if you don't
know what you are doing. On the other hand, you stand to save a ton of money if you
take the time to learn how to buy carpet wholesale "wisely". You
need to understand how the carpet business works before you can make it work in your favor.
Buying
carpet wholesale is not for everyone.
You have to be able
to spend a lot of time talking to salespeople, investigating and researching,
comparing prices and products, interviewing carpet installers and preparing your
home for the final event of having your carpet installed. It truly is a major
event that requires making lots of phone calls, sending and receiving emails,
ordering samples and keeping track of all the details. It can be mind-boggling
and it's too much work for some people, and I don't want you to think it will be
a quick and easy task. It takes time to work out all the details, it could take
weeks before you get the whole job done. If you try to do it too fast, you could
end up unhappy with the end results. You don't want that. But you do want to
save a ton of money right?
The
easy and safe way to buy carpet, for a price!
If you've ever been
inside a local carpet showroom no doubt you've seen the racks of carpet samples.
Take a few samples home, settle on a carpet style and color you like and then
you can place your order with your local carpet retailer. In a week or two the manufacturer
will ship your carpet to the retailer where you bought it. Their installers will
load up the carpet into their van and bring it to your home and install
it. You can usually get the whole job done it about two or three weeks. The
carpet retailer takes care of all the details so you can sit back and relax
until they come out to install your new carpet. Ahhh! no worries, but you do end
up paying a little more for the service. When you buy from
a Dalton carpet wholesaler, you can save a lot of money, but it takes a
lot more time and effort, and there is more risk involved.
What
is discounted carpet?
Giant carpet
manufacturers like Mohawk and Shaw make thousands of rolls of carpet every
month. They have strict manufacturing specifications they must adhere to. If
they make a roll of carpet that doesn't make the grade, they will sell it as
"seconds" to any carpet outlet store at a discount.
These rolls of
carpet have something wrong with them. It could be a color streaking problem or
the dye was off color. There could be missing tufts or other surface defects.
The backing could be defective. You may never know why the mill sold it as
seconds.
Sometimes Carpet
makers will discontinue a certain style or color and sell off all they have in
stock to make room for a new style or color. In this case, there may not be
anything physically wrong with the carpet, but the discount won't be as
attractive as those with an obvious defect. They will sell the carpet to a
carpet outlet store for what they feel it's worth and they know how to value a
carpet. Consumers cannot buy carpet directly from the carpet manufacturer, they
must buy from an authorized carpet retailer.
How
to buy carpet at a discount.
Competition
in the carpet business is fierce, so in order to compete for your business,
wholesale carpet outlets advertise heavily and they use the internet to attract customers
from all over the world. There are literally hundreds of carpet outlet stores in
the state of Georgia, with billboards lined up all the way down the interstate
highways. They have detailed websites with photos descriptions of their
products, detailed installation information, customer testimonials, free price
quotes and everything else you might need to know about buying carpet or other
flooring products from them.
Sounds good so far,
right? Not so fast! There are a few ground rules you need to be aware of before
you start shopping for discounted carpet. First, I never
recommend buying carpet from any online source that does not have a physical
location and a good reputation, as verifiable through the local Better Business
Bureau. Some Dalton Georgia carpet sellers are well-known from
having national media attention, but that doesn't mean you should let your
guard down. Second, Don't believe everything a carpet salesperson tells you. No
matter what questions you might ask, they might just tell you what you want to
hear. "Sure, we can do that for you, no problem!" If promises are
made, no matter how insignificant, get it in writing before you sign on the
dotted line.
The
fine print can catch you off guard!
Dalton outlet
stores sell roll goods such as carpet and vinyl, hardwood, laminate, and
area rugs at deep discounts. Many items they feature are seconds,
close-outs, roll ends, specials, cabin-grade wood, promotional carpets, and
other discounted floor coverings. You need to be absolutely sure about what
you buy from them because there are NO RETURNS on any discounted
goods. Period.
If you order first
quality goods and are unsatisfied, you can return your carpet as long
you bought the full roll (more than 30 yards) and it is unopened and uncut.
There is a substantial re-stocking fee imposed of at least 15% and the
customer is responsible for all return shipping costs.
Special
orders may be returned with a re-stock fee up to 70% and the customer
is responsible for all return shipping costs.
Return
shipping could
cost you hundreds.
What can go
wrong? You may order a
45-ounce carpet and a 38-ounce carpet shows up. It could be an honest
mistake or it could be the old bait and
switch routine. Mistakes do happen and sometimes carpet has defects that are
unforeseen. If there is a problem it is your responsibility to prove it, get
authorization to return it
and then pay a shipping company to return the carpet at your expense.
Shipping a roll
of carpet back to the vendor can cost you hundreds of dollars and be very
difficult and time consuming. Just because you only paid $80 to have the
carpet shipped to you does not mean that it will only cost you $80 to ship
it back. These carpet sellers have a special arrangement with the shipping company, you
don't. It could easily cost you hundreds to ship a roll of
carpet back to where it came from!
You are also
responsible for getting the roll of carpet wrapped up properly and put back
on the delivery truck. The trucking company does not show up with a forklift
to move your carpet from your garage to the back of their truck. The driver
will not lift a finger to help you, as it is not his job. When the shipping
truck (carrier) arrives, it is your responsibility to get the roll of carpet
out of your garage (assuming that's where it is) and into the back of the
delivery truck. Not an easy task when many rolls of carpet weigh in at over
500 ponds or more and opening to the back of the delivery truck is over four
feet up.
You buy it, you
own it. This is where
they have you over a barrel. They know that once you figure out what it's
going to take and how much it's going to cost for you to ship the
carpet back, you will decide to forget it and live with your defective
carpet. Maybe you can sell it in the local newspaper or on Craigslist. This is a very common nightmare that many unsuspecting consumers go
through every day.
