Avoiding Common Carpet Buying
Mistakes
Most consumers often assume that they may be able to
receive a fair deal when buying carpet from a local carpet retailer or online
so-called wholesale carpet buying sources.
Selecting the perfect carpet used to be a relatively quick and
simple process,
but it is more complicated today than ever before.
Sadly,
many consumers end up spending hundreds of dollars more than
they need to, and often end up with less then they bargained for.
Consumers need a unbiased advice that will help sort out the mountain of information and help to
determine which carpet will best meet the needs and lifestyle without breaking
the bank.
Local Carpet Retailers
While there are many reputable carpet retailers, there
are just as many carpet dealers that should be avoided. Buying carpet from the wrong
carpet
retailer could cost you thousands.
Many so-called wholesale carpet dealers are nothing more than
wolves in sheep's clothing and virtually any consumer could fall prey to their carpet scams.
Unscrupulous carpet retailers need to sell their products to stay in business and
unsuspecting consumers are often left holding the bag. The products they
sell, suggest or
recommend, are often not what the consumer needs.
There are so many common carpet scams where the
consumer can be taken advantage of. Here are a few....
Some common scams are:
Excessive mark-up on materials and/or
labor,
Selling inferior or second-grade materials,
Recommending improper materials for consumer
need or lifestyle,
Selling defective
materials without disclosure,
Deliberately
over-measuring or claiming more
material is required than is actually needed.
Using unqualified carpet installers
