Announcing New Larger Headquarters
Since it’s inception in 2005, Rug Pad Corner has seen annual growth and a company move five years after launching on the Internet. Recently, we found the need for yet another move due to space issues – We outgrew our warehouse and had the need for almost twice the amount of space. That said, we are pleased to announce our move to new larger headquarters to allow us to serve our customers are efficiently as possible.
Our move started in May, 2017 and lasted for four weeks, about two weeks longer than we expected. While it was delayed, we are extremely pleased with the end result – A newer larger office and warehouse space allowing us the ability to stock even more rolls of rug padding than before. While one may not think much of a move as this, we are very delighted as it offers our customers more than before.
Larger Warehouse, Faster Order Processing
Our warehouse is where all material is stocked and it is where we fulfill your rug pad orders. The size of this space is very important to us as it allows us to stock more rolls of rug pad and, when necessary, more varieties. You may already know that we cut each order as we receive it, nothing is ever already cut waiting to be fulfilled. So, since we need to stock the actual rolls which we cut, the more we can stock, the faster we can process and ship orders – The extra space means we will rarely be out-of-stock of an item due to lack of space. So, it can be seen that a larger warehouse means faster processing and fulfillment of our rug pad orders. And, for those special custom cut orders, even more space means no downtime and these orders ship as quickly as all others.
More Office Space, Better Attention to Customer Needs
One of the biggest surprises we have discovered with our business is the amount of telephone inquiries we receive. We love talking to our customers, yet I have always thought that if you have the perfect web site offering all of the information and products that customers seek, then there is little reason for customers to call. Well, in our case, we found that most of the customers who call are those who simply like to place their order on the telephone. We are available to answer questions, give advice and handle orders, so for any reason of a telephone call to us, we are happy and eager to assist. With the expanded office space, we found more desk space for more customer service representatives, hence offering more efficient customer service.
Our recent company move comes at a great time in our business – We are seeing record rug pad sales and in order to keep up with the demand, we like having more space for more inventory and more people. It’s a far cry from when we first started our business in 1,000 square feet and just 3 people to now more than 15,000 square feet and a team of a dozen people attentive to every customer’s needs.
Unfortunately, most rug pad manufacturers today tend to use chemicals and adhesives within their rug pads – This popular practice is proven to save on production costs and since many people search and purchase by “price” only, more and more rug pads today are made with lower cost materials. Since applying a coating of adhesive on each side of a felt rug pad saves manufactures money over the alternative method of using heat to press the felt together, many pads today are coated with adhesive.
We take great steps to maintain a safe environment for all children by the method we use in the manufacture of our rug pads. In a time when most manufacturers look at the bottom line with the use of more and more chemicals and adhesives to cut the cost of producing their rug pads, Rug Pad Corner is using more of a genuine level of manufacture with the use of heat. Developed and sustained by Rug Pad Corner, the trademarked process referred to as 
“Our Rug Pad Corner Trade Program is an excellent way for designers to offer their clients the finest rug pads made today”, states Sam of Rug Pad Corner. “And since we know these same designers can shop elsewhere, we are extremely appreciative to have been chosen as their supplier, so we offer special pricing to the trade only”. Sam goes on to explain that designers can either offer the discounted prices to their clients, or they can resell the rug pads at a nominal profit. “Another advantage of being a Trade Member is that we will fulfill designer orders catered to special requests, if any”, states Sam. This means that trade members can stipulate a variety of criteria to fulfill an order, such as custom sizes and shapes and the ability to show the designer as the shipper on the shipping label. “There are some designers who want us to remain anonymous for their own reasons, so we will do what it takes to fulfill this and other requests”, states Sam.
With years of experience in the area rug, flooring and rug padding industries, we have had thousands of requests for a product that stops furniture from sliding on a hard floor surface. One of the most common pieces of furniture causing issues is a sectional sofa – Due to size and weight, a sectional sofa easily slides across a floor and this can cause damage to the floor and any close walls. After much trial and error and two years of testing, we finally perfected DURA-GRIP® – Our exclusive furniture gripper pad that is placed under any furniture leg to effectively prevent moving and sliding. Since its inception, we have shipped more than 500,000 sets of DURA-GRIP® to customers in The United States, Canada and Australia.
There is always an incentive to buy your rug pads from Rug Pad Corner and the first one is the fact that our rug pads are like no other – The finest materials and construction safe for all floors and homes. Today, we are happy to offer another incentive and that is the fact that any return is now free shipping – Rug Pad Corner will pay for the return shipping charges. This very welcomed part of our
