Why In-Stock Flooring Beats Special Orders Every Time

In-Stock Flooring Beats Special Orders

The Real Reason You Shouldn't Wait for Your Floors

We’ve all been there: you fall in love with a flooring sample, only to hear those dreaded words: “It’s a special order.” Suddenly, your project timeline stretches out, your budget shifts, and your stress level skyrockets.

At Discount Flooring at Liquidation Land, we believe you shouldn’t have to wait weeks (or months!) to get started on your renovation. That’s why in-stock flooring is not just convenient, it’s smarter. Here’s why.

1. Lead Times Can Wreck Your Renovation

Special Orders Come with Long Waits

Special-order flooring often means waiting 2–8 weeks (or more) depending on the manufacturer, supply chain, and shipping delays. That’s time you may not have, especially if:

• You’re prepping a home for sale

• You're flipping an investment property

• You’re juggling contractor schedules

• You have events or guests coming soon

In-stock flooring? It’s ready the same day you are.

Quick Stat:

• Average special order wait: 28-42 days

• Our in-stock pickup time: Same-day or next-day

2. Inventory You Can See, Touch, and Take Home

When you shop special-order samples, you’re gambling on small swatches and display boards. You won’t know what the full plank, grain pattern, or color variation will truly look like until it’s delivered.

With in-stock flooring at Liquidation Land:

• You can inspect full boxes, not just swatches

• You’ll know exactly what you're getting, no surprises

• You can match the grain, finish, and tone to your space in real-time

That means fewer regrets, better results, and faster decision-making.

3. Same-Day Pickup Keeps Your Timeline (and Budget) on Track

Every day your flooring is delayed is another day of stalled work. Labor costs increase. Rentals extend. Momentum slows.

With in-stock inventory, you can:

• Pick it up immediately

• Schedule installation for the same or the next day

• Avoid costly downtime and delays

Bonus: In-stock flooring at liquidation prices can cost up to 70% less than ordering from big-box stores.

4. No Shipping Fees, No Backorders, No “Oops” Calls

Special orders often come with hidden surprises:

• “Oops, it’s backordered.”

• “Oops, it arrived damaged.”

• “Oops, it’s the wrong product.”

You’re left chasing customer service and reordering.

When you shop our local warehouse:

• Your flooring is already here

• You inspect it yourself

• You walk out with everything you need

No waiting. No guesswork. No drama.

Need flooring now? Skip the delays and shop our in-stock deals for same-day pickup at up to 70% off retail.

5. Styles Change Fast, So Does Manufacturer Availability

By the time your special order arrives, it could already be discontinued, out of sync with your design plan, or priced higher than expected.

In-stock inventory reflects what’s available today, including:

• Overstock from major retailers

• Manufacturer closeouts

• Seasonal transitions (perfect for off-season deals)

And when it’s gone, it’s gone. So if you see it and love it, you can take it home the same day.

FAQ: In-Stock vs. Special Order Flooring

Is in-stock flooring lower quality?

Not at all. We carry brand-new, name-brand flooring from national retailers and distributors, just at liquidation prices.

Why is in-stock flooring so much cheaper?

We buy in bulk, directly from closeouts and overstocks. You skip the retail markup and shipping fees.

What if I need more flooring later?

Ask our team about overage boxes and how much extra to buy. In-stock products sell fast, so we’ll help you plan.

Can I pick up in-stock flooring the same day?

Yes! Most customers load their flooring within an hour of choosing it.

Is special-order flooring ever worth it?

Only if you're matching existing floors or want a very specific, rare style, otherwise, in-stock is faster, safer, and more affordable.
