We have free local pick up and delivery as a courtesy to our customers. On Saturday, we sold two Persian rugs to a customer who lived in Beverly Hills. These were two hand knotted runners. We delivered the rugs and on our way back to work, I noticed the cost of gas in a gas station which was almost $5/gallon!
With the rising price of gas, I doubt if we can continue having free rug pick up and delivery for rug cleaning and repair. We should think of a way to have a charge not to make money but to cover the price of gas and our cost. I know our customers would not be happy, but we can do this service up to a point.
