Carpet Store
Carpet Store - the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly.
Before choosing the right carpet store, consider the dirty tricks carpet store pull upon consumers.
Make sure that you keep a sample of the carpet you ordered if possible. Take note of the
color, style, manufacturer, price, and density. When your carpet is delivered to you, take out your
sample carpet to compare, and make sure the carpet store delivered the right carpet that you ordered.
Most people don't check the yarn, color and density of the sample with the carpet they receive
from the carpet store, and many homeowners have been cheated and unknowingly accepted a carpet that
was far inferior to what they ordered. Don't blindly trust the carpet store to have delivered to
you what you ordered. Carpet is a highly competitive business. If it is not exactly the same
color, yarn and DENSITY as your sample, refuse it immediately.
Check the density of the carpet delivered to make sure it is the same density that you ordered. Otherwise,
you are getting less quality than you paid for.
Also make sure that the name of the manufacturer, the carpet style, carpet color, yardage, density,
yarn, price per yard, unit price, total price, padding specifications and price, sales tax,
installation charges are all noted on the paperwork or the invoice. Only hand over your money until
you are completely satisfied that all details are on the paperwork and
they reflect exactly what you want.
One last thing - the “Guaranteed Lowest Price” trick used by carpet store. If the carpet store
carrys only private
label carpet, then you will have no way in knowing the actual retail price. Therefore the Guaranteed
Lowest Price promise means nothing to you but to simply trick you to believe that you are getting a
great deal.
