Hello Everyone
While you won''t be touring fancy showrooms or flipping through glossy catalogs, wholesale furniture shopping will save you a lot of money. By purchasing your furniture from a wholesale broker, you can cut out the high costs of retail overhead and score a big discount. And you do not need to sacrifice either beauty or classy style to do so. Keep reading for 6 hot tips from the experts that will show you exactly how to save money buying wholesale furniture.
1. Check for Flaws
Because wholesalers buy their furniture store in bulk and store it on-site, there''s often more room for error or flaws. When buying any wholesale piece, always look for tears in the fabric or scratches on the wood. If the rip, stain or scratch doesn''t bother you and it''s in a hidden spot, don''t be afraid to ask for an additional discount. Wholesale dealers are typically more open to negotiation than those you find in the retail market.
2. Provide your own Delivery
Since they charge such low prices, most furniture wholesale sellers don''t offer free delivery. If you can, bring your own truck or van, or rent one, to haul away your purchase. This is an especially desirable option if your home is fairly close to the shop. Otherwise, see if you can negotiate free delivery into the total purchase price.
3. Go State Hopping
If you really want to save big, try traveling for your deals. Those who live near Oregon can enjoy freedom from sales tax, whereas others in the vicinity of North Carolina are close to the country''s biggest wholesale furniture market. Before you make a local impulse buy, see if a road trip might save you a bit of money. If you have a similarly-minded spouse or friend, you can make a vacation out of it.
