For years the big carpet stores have been selling carpet, each month they have huge sales with 50% off deals, sometimes offering a further 20% off to draw people in to their stores, but what are the fact?

The fact is that the majority of the carpet that they sell is imported, yes that’s right, and because it’s imported you don’t get the guarantees that you would usually get with a UK manufactured carpet.

The carpet that they do promote from UK manufactures is sold massively overpriced, which we believe is tantamount to abuse, so when they have 50% off carpet sales and neglect to tell you that they have started their sell price for the carpet 10 times what they actually pay for it.

Now we’re not mentioning any names, but I’m sure you can work it out for yourself, simply look for those oh so familiar sale sign’s plastered all over the carpet shop windows.

Now lets have it right, we’re all for enterprising businesses making a profit but 1000%+ profit on carpet gripper, and 300% profit on carpet underlay we think is just a bit much, especially in these financially tight times.

The other thing that frustrates us is that in the early days they seemed to be supporting the UK manufacturing industry by pushing their products heavily through their huge carpet stores, but as they got bigger their overall spend and commitment to UK carpet manufactured faltered.

So what do we think the industry needs right now, we’ll its simple really cut out the middle man and save cash on carpet, buy direct from local carpet shops that support UK manufactured carpet, companies that make a healthy profit but actually provide superb value and service.

What’s next, simply buy your carpet via eCarpets.co.uk and you’ll be guaranteed that you will get the best deals on great UK manufactured carpet and you won’t pay way over the odds or get ripped off from the big boys?
