It seems every year about this time we get an onslaught of crappy carpet with flaws. Is it the time of year or do we just get unlucky? In the last 2 weeks, I have had a zigzag darker row that ran for about 10 feet. Today I rolled out a piece 15 foot wide with 2 lighter streaks through it.
I am an hourly employee and have the privilege of rolling out all my installs about a week to 2 weeks before I do them to inspect them. Since I install 99% of the carpet they sell, I get to see every piece.
How bout you guys, how often are you seeing flaws?

Way more often than I use to. I find it hard to believe that the inspector at times, still is willing to put his/her name on the product. I mean, after all, no matter how many people that are getting paid at the mills to "Inspect", it always comes down to, if it gets installed with a defect, no matter how noticeable, it's always the installers responsibility, right?:rolleyes:

I won't give the customer an install date anymore until the material arrives and is the correct product, size and no shipping damages or defects. The customers always agree.

I worked for a store one time that the owner was ALWAYS short on his carpet dimensions. Others there claimed (and it was a standing joke) that he was so tight with money that he would order carpet and then expect it to grow while on the truck on its way to the store.:D
 
Oh..I never shoulda started watching rug making videos! Now I'll never get nuthing done.
