That house in Oakwood taught me to never trust pre-cut carpet again

Last summer I took a job in Oakwood, a nice older neighborhood with lots of custom homes. The homeowner handed me rolls that were supposedly pre-cut to size by a big box store. First room I unrolled was 4 inches short on one side. Had to seam a scrap piece in and it looked terrible. Ended up ripping it out and buying new material out of my own pocket, cost me $320. Now I always measure and cut everything myself on site, no exceptions. How many of you have gotten burned by store cut jobs?

Pre-cut carpet is just a scam with a fancy name.

Honestly, laurac96 nailed it. Pre-cut carpet is a total scam and I learned that the hard way after wasting $300 on a job just like yours.
