Is the Shipping Expensive?

Shipping is relatively cheap on carpet, and as of now we don't have to charge you sales tax on shipments outside of the state of Georgia. This saves you usually more than the freight cost.

Your freight cost charges include delivery to a business or to a freight depot closest to you and the insurance on the freight. We can arrange delivery to your home or job site for an additional charge. This usually ranges from $40 to $100 and someone must be available to unload the carpet. Usually you can schedule your installer to be there to help you accept the carpet and they can do your install at the same time.

The following is a general cost per square yard for shipping your carpeting. Special rates apply to wood, vinyl and Laminates. Prices may be higher or lower depending on access to your town.  With the fluctuation in the price of fuel recently, some shippers may add a fuel surcharge.

The rates identified in the Image above are subject change based on the current volatility of of fuel prices.  However, these same freight rates apply in shipping product from Dalton, Georgia carpet manufacturers to your local carpet retailer.  The manufacture of carpet is heavily dependent on petrochemical prices and transportation costs.  The savings we can offer in (not charging) sales tax, typically offsets the costs of shipping costs.
