New Carpets? Empire?



I have no idea if Empire carpets are any good or a good value.
But please be forewarned of the following:

Empire is an in-home sales outfit, much like window replacement companies, siding, etc.
The salesman will come to your house and will use high-pressure tactics … "if you place an order now I can cut the price … " Etc.

They will often insist that both husband and wife are there for the demo and sales pitch (if married of course) especially if there is going to be any financing.

Even without that, they still don’t want one spouse to come home later that night or the next day and say "You bought what!?

In most states (if not all) you have a 72-hour period to cancel the order.

Personally, I’d rather make any big purchase on my time, away from the house.

Good luck.
