Need a new place to buy Charcoal Carpet

Guys,

I just wanted to see if anyone knew of another place besides Parts Express to buy Charcoal Carpet. PE has gone up to a level that is hurting my bottom line pretty bad. Please let me know if you know of any other places.

Have you checked at RNL? They may have it, they are a dealer wholesaler.

Raise your prices accordingly????

I just bought 5 yds from YourAutoTrim at $15 a yd + $20 shipping, so PE prices don't seem that bad to me.

Price doesn't seem all that bad to me:

Try your local auto upholstery shops and see if they will cut you a deal, tell them what you pay and how much you buy and see if they can beat it by a fair amount and keep you supplied.

I would assume I would just need to call them right? Their website does not seem very well developed.

It is quite bad when the economy has already put a damper on the local box building venture. People in my city have completely re-evaluated what is really important. Let's just say getting a speaker box built is not a high priority. If they ever legalize drugs I will be out of business. LOL.

P.S. Exactly one year ago a 50 yd. roll of charcoal carpet was $150 plus $60-70 shipping. I paid right at $300 yesterday for the same roll ($217 for carpet + 75 shipping). 33% increase seems excessive if you ask me.

I am quite certain there is no where local to buy this stuff and if there was, the price would probably be even higher than PE. I just cannot believe PE has the online market cornered on cabinet carpet.

My local car audio shop told me $15/yard needless to say I went to PE

I do appreciate the link, but they are more expensive than PE. I was sort of hoping for cheaper alternatives.
