This scam is being used more and more by dealers who dont have a contractors license, or those stores who want to give the impression they are saving the customer money. Like the I can by it for you Wholesale section of this page, you the customer have no recourse with the dealer when solving labor disputes. In this scam you are forced to pay the installer direct for his services at the end of the day. If, however, you need something repaired that you did not catch on the day of installation, you may have a tough time getting the installer to come back and fix his mistake. Also, if the carpet should develop a wrinkle later on due to improper stretching, you may again have trouble getting the installer to come back. The dealer who sold you the carpet is only liable for the carpet. When possible, always pay the dealer for the complete package. This is the only way you will have any leverage in the field of consumer complaints.
