April 6, 2007, Newsletter Issue #59: Better Savings – Carpet Outlets or Online Shopping?

Tip of the Week

If you are looking for the best prices on your next carpet purchase, one of the best buying carpet tips is to utilize Carpet Outlets for great prices in person or Internet-based carpet sellers to buy carpet online. These are the two places that always offer the best prices for name-brand carpeting. Here is a quick comparison. Carpet outlets can be found in most areas, from small towns to big cities. They are usually based in warehouse type settings and offer you the ability to see and feel the products you are thinking about buying. While this is a big plus, a downside to carpet outlets is that they are often limited to the stock that they have on hand. You see, carpet outlets are mainly supplied by overstock from a manufacturer. This means that if they do not have the quantity that you need in the style you want on site, they may not be able to order it for you. Internet-based carpet sellers offer similar prices to those brick and mortar carpet outlets. The main disadvantage for many is the inability to inspect the product in person. However, many online sellers will send samples to prospective buyers so that they can at least see and feel a small portion of what they would be able to in the carpet outlets. The main advantage to online sellers is that they will be more likely able to find you the quantity that you need in the style you want for your entire purchase. They are less limited in their stock as the carpet outlets are as they offer their discounts not because they are supplied by overstock from manufacturers, but rather because of their overall lower overhead. To find the best prices on your carpeting, take a look at both carpet outlets near you and online sellers. Between the two, you are sure to find the right price on exactly what you are looking for.
