(Wholesale Account Program last revised July 08)
PROGRAM
BENEFITS
- Wholesale
Accounts can purchase all products sold by Carpet Values,
during the active account period, at
invoice price + freight.
- There
are no product quantity limits, quotas, or exclusions.
Wholesale Accounts can purchase as much or as little flooring during
their valid Wholesale Account period as they wish. All products Carpet
Values carries are included in the Wholesale Program.
- There
are no restrictions on what you do with your merchandise.
You are free to use it in your own projects or to retail it at a profit
to your own customers.
- Wholesale
Accounts's purchasing power is equal to any retail store.
You are buying at the same prices the retail flooring stores pay. Many
franchise stores (CarpetOne, Flooring America, etc) pay well over
$50,000 for the product access and pricing that you get for only $150 a
month. With samples and deck-boards available for purchase, a Wholesale
Account is ideal for all interior designers, contractors, remodelers,
and flooring installers.
- Lowest
possible price guarantee.
Flooring prices constantly fluctuate, and Carpet Values guarantees to
aggressively negotiate with every manufacturer for the best price
possible for the Wholesale Accounts.
- NO-RISK
100% Satisfaction Guarantee.
If as an Wholesale Account holder you are dissatisfied for any reason,
Carpet Values will revalue your purchases within the program back to
retail prices. If “retail equivalent” of your
purchases are
less than your Account Dues we will gladly refund the difference back
to you. Carpet Values will be happy to continue doing future business
with you as a retail customer.
- Financing
is available.
Carpet Values will set up lines of credit through CITI Financial or
other participating banks for Wholesale Account holders with approved
credit. Wholesale Accounts with approved credit can take advantage of a
“6
month same as cash” delayed payment financing on
all wholesale purchases as well as the ability to finance the entire
amount of the account dues.
- Special
requests welcome.
Carpet Values will work with Wholesale Accounts to get any product an
account holder is wanting even if it is a product Carpet Values doesn't
normally stock. If we can get the product, you can buy it wholesale.
- Associate
wholesale sub-accounts available.
For a limited time, Wholesale Account holders can add up to three family and friends as
“associate sub-accounts” underneath their Wholesale
Account. Associate sub-accounts have the purchasing privileges of the
full Wholesale Account. With greatly discounted dues, an associate
sub-account makes a fantastic gift!!!
- Why is
Carpet Values doing this?
By catering this new Wholesale Account Program to large buyers and end
users, Carpet Values looks to dramatically increase our total sales
volume. This increase in product volume will allow Carpet Values to
negotiate even lower prices with every manufacturer. Carpet Values will
continue its retail operations for the ordinary buying public, and
these lower product costs will allow Carpet Values to make higher
profits without raising retail prices. And of course, as we negotiate
better pricing it will be reflected in the wholesale price you pay!
ACCOUNT
DUES
- Account dues into the Wholesale Account Program are
currently $1800 per year.

- Associate sub-account dues are currently $675 per

multiple years to avoid future increases in dues.
- Account dues must be paid in full prior to any
wholesale purchases.
- Account dues are eligible for financing.
- Account dues are non-cancelable and non-refundable.
PURCHASING
RULES & TERMS
- Only the person approved as a Wholesale Account may
purchase at Carpet Values Wholesale prices. ABSOLUTELY no friends,
neighbors, or relatives may use someone else's Wholesale Account.
- All purchase payment must be made by the Wholesale
Account holder.
- All wholesale purchases on merchandise Carpet Values
does
not regularly stock are final sales. All special orders are
non-cancelable, non-returnable, non-refundable.
- Only new purchases made after customer becomes a
Wholesale
Account are eligible for wholesale pricing. Any previously purchased
merchandise, even if it has not yet been picked up, is not eligible for
wholesale pricing.
- Purchasing through the Wholesale Program excludes any
other
specials or promotions from also being added to the order. This
restriction includes all past special offers (such as CV Bucks) and any
future special promotions directed toward Carpet Values retail
customers.
- There may be products that Carpet Values is not able
to get
from manufacturers. Some flooring products and some brand labels are
exclusive to certain franchises. CV will do everything possible to get Wholesale
Accounts the products they want.
- Account dues are not part of wholesale costs, paying
dues give you access to purchase at wholesale cost.
- In describing wholesale cost as “invoice
price + freight”:
Invoice price means the printed cost price of that product on the
latest manufacturer's invoice to Carpet Values. Any cash discounts,
holdbacks, or special promotions from suppliers would be retained by
Carpet Values. In a very few products, “cost” may include
a small
handling fee.
- In describing wholesale cost as “invoice
price + freight”:
Freight is calculated at current rate of flooring freight as charged by
Carpet Shippers of Dalton Georgia, or equivalent freight carrier.
- On wholesale purchases of merchandise that must be
newly
ordered from a manufacturer, the wholesale cost would reflect the
current manufacturer's product cost + freight, rather than the most
recent invoice cost + freight.
- All Wholesale Accounts must pay Missouri sales tax
unless
Carpet Values is provided with a copy of their current Sales Tax
Exemption Certificate.
- All standard terms and conditions of retail purchases
applies to all wholesale purchases. This includes but is not
limited to:
- Carpet Values will make every effort to furnish you
with exact totals
based on the measurements you provide. Carpet Values is not responsible
for miscalculations, incorrect measurements, pattern matches, or extra
carpet your installer may need.
- Carpet Values sells materials only. Carpet Values
does not sell
installation. Carpet Values does not guarantee any installers work,
labor price, nor does Carpet Values endorse any installer.
- Use of existing pad voids all manufacturer
warranties. No warranties on closeouts, discontinued items, or remnants.
- Carpet Values is not responsible for purchases
remaining in our warehouse over 180 days.
- No refunds without receipt. No refunds on purchases
180 days or older.
No refunds on special order items. Restocking charges will apply to any
returns or cancellations.

Carpet Values to cancel an order for the purpose of reselling that
customer themselves, will have their Wholesale Account immediately
