In order to give you a better idea of your total cost, we have added a shipping information page.

Carpet and Padding/Cushion are shipped at the same rate. Shipping charges are priced per square yard (9 square feet), so if you are pricing per square foot then you must divide the rates by 9 to get the shipping rate per square foot.*

Shipping time: It takes the same amount of time to receive carpet from us as it does your local carpet dealer. If the manufacturer has it in stock, it usually takes between 7-14 days (from the date you place your order) to reach you. If they are out of stock and have to produce more, it may take longer.

Important Notice: Due to rising fuel prices the trucking companies are adding a fuel surcharge, ranging from 4% to 10%.

We ship 99% of all our orders via transfer truck. In some cases, such as with very small orders of carpet or padding we will ship via UPS. In all cases we look for the absolute lowest price and we only ship using reputable companies.

--- Carpet is shipped by many different trucking companies (depending on your location) and they have varying polices, but below is a general guideline of what you can expect. Wholesale Carpet Store has no control of the shipping companies policies or procedures. We do however ship your order only with reputable trucking companies and we try to find the lowest possible shipping price, to save you even more money. ---

Additional info on shipping to a terminal: Terminals are owned by the trucking companies and it is a place for them to load/unload their trucks as well as transfer cargo from one the another. We try to find a terminal as close to your home as possible, but in some remote locations this is not possible and you might have to drive a considerable distance. Most delivery companies will call to let you know that your carpet has arrived and they will also load your carpet on to your vehicle (must be some kind of truck) when you arrive.

Additional info on shipping to a business: If shipped to a business address, it must be a true business address (not a home business) and it must be accessible for a transfer truck with some sort of unloading location, such as a dock and the business is totally responsible for unloading the carpet. The truck driver is only responsible for making sure that it is at the back of the truck and ready for you to unload, he is not required to help you unload or move it. In most cases rolls of carpet can be handled by just a few people (usually 2-4).

Additional info on shipping to a residence: If the carpet is shipped to your home, the trucking company will call you with the expected delivery time, You are responsible for making sure that you have people there to help you unload the carpet from the transfer and to move it to safe covered location. The truck driver is only responsible for making sure that it is at the back of the truck and ready for you to unload, he is not required to help you unload or move it. In most cases rolls of carpet can be handled by just a few people (usually 2-4).
