Cheap Carpet Remnants

We’ve talked a lot about finding discount carpet remnants by going around to your local stores, but what about finding cheap carpet remnants online? Yes it is possible, but one thing to keep in mind is shipping. One of the down falls of early online pet-food e-commerce sites was the failed realization of how much shipping would cost for heavy products. Most of these issues have been overcome by now, but when you want to find cheap carpet remnants online, shipping is definitely something to think about.

In most of our discussions we’ve talked about calling around to your local carpet retailers to ask about good deals on remnants of carpet. (is it me, or does the word remnant just always seem odd to spell?) I guess it’s just the two consonants-m and n- right next to each other that seems weird. OK, back to carpet. The best way to find carpet remnants, cheap, is to start searching for carpet warehouses that may have extra carpet. Many times, when large carpet orders are placed by construction companies or office tenants, carpet manufactures have what is cut off from the end of large carpet orders. Sometimes as much as 10 to 30 extra feet is left over. Depending on the size and length of the area you need carpeted, this could be plenty. One place online we found some carpet La Rocca floor coverings. They even have pictures of all the remnants they offer.

The best method is simply to search online for large carpet retailers or wholesalers. Find a contact number and start calling. Just like you would in the article we posted on finding discount carpet remnants. The thing is, carpet can be extremely heavy and cumbersome to ship, so purchasing online might not be the best and/or cheapest way to go when shopping for carpet. For example, a 12×40′ roll of even cheap Berber carpet carpet can weigh as much as 300 to 400 pounds. That’s pretty darn heavy and the shipping alone would be outrageous. With that said, depending on the size of job, you may be able to get a really good discount if you’re buying in bulk and have your own method of shipping. Such as finding someplace within a few hundred miles and renting a u Haul or something similar to pick up the carpet yourself. However, if you’re just looking for carpet squares and odds and ends, that may be worth looking online, but then again, you should also be able to find what you need locally.
