With our over 25 years' experience, West Carpet is familiar with the freight companies that have a proven track record and provide the best service at the best possible rates. We can quote freight rates when your order is placed and you can choose if you would like to prepay or pay the freight charges when your flooring is delivered.
We can provide you with a rough means of determining what you need from the measurements of your home. However, before you order you will need a carpet installer to provide you with exact measurements.
To determine the approximate amount of carpet you will need, multiply the length (feet) of the room by its width (feet), and divide that figure by 9 to obtain the square yardage. Add 10 percent to amount for room irregularities and pattern match. It is best to have your installer make final measurements to ensure that you purchase the correct amount.
YES! Contact a carpet installer in your area through the yellow pages under "carpet installation", or preferably through a referral. As professionals, carpet installers know how to include hallways and closets, match patterns, plan seam placement, work with room irregularities , and account for rooms with widths greater than 12 feet (most carpet is produced in 12 foot widths). The installer will come to your location and measure the areas to be carpeted. YOU WILL USE THIS MEASUREMENT TO CALL IN YOU ORDER.
Yes, you can, as long as the item has not been shipped or received by us. If the order has already been sent to us, there will be a restocking fee involved in returning it to the mill. If you do receive an order that was canceled, accept delivery of the item and call the Customer Service Center for return instructions.
We submit all requests for credits within 24 hours of receipt; however, it may take 7-10 business days for you to receive your credit. You should see this on your next credit card statement or the following one, depending on where you are in your billing cycle.
If, within 30 days, you are not satisfied with your purchase, we will replace the item or provide a credit for the full merchandise amount less any shipping charges and restock fees.
There is no totally trackless carpet. However, today's technology has gone a long way towards reducing footprints due to a denser construction, combined with tightly twisted yarn to give a textured appearance which resists tracking. We refer to this as our textured line of carpet.
Historically, homeowners prefer our cut pile because it offers a softer, attractive appearence and feel. This is especially true in our textured saxony and velvet products. Our berber products have proven to be excellent in high-traffic areas, basements, family playrooms, and more and more as a whole house carpet.
