How to Buy Carpet Wholesale

Check your local phone book to find carpet wholesale companies in your general area. Visit the local warehouse so you can see and touch the different carpets before you buy your carpet wholesale.

Look at the different styles of carpet that are available, such as cut pile, plush, frieze, Saxony or textured. Some wholesale carpet companies do not have as great a selection as retailers.

Choose carpet tiles for your new carpet. These 18x18-inch squares are excellent for use in high traffic areas where one or more tiles may wear out. Ask your wholesaler if he sells this type of carpet.

Replace the worn part when there is need. Make sure you buy extra tiles when you buy your main carpet wholesale since the color will likely not be the same in the future. Dye lots change, making the color slightly different.

Ask who provides the warranty on your wholesale carpet. In most cases, it will be the carpet manufacturer not the wholesaler.

Find out if the carpet wholesale company is selling firsts or seconds in the wholesale carpet they provide. Many times the price is unusually low, and this can mean the carpet is second in quality.

Remember that when you buy your carpet wholesale, you may have to hire a carpet installer separately or do the installation yourself. The price difference is usually worth the extra cost of hiring the installer.
