A less awkward way to sell
The value is in the carpet, not the message thread.
Private marketplaces can work, but they often involve writing an advert, answering similar questions several times, arranging viewings and dealing with uncertain buyers. Zarax gives you a single route from the first description through to inspection and payment.
The process is deliberately straightforward. Share accurate information and clear photographs, then we can decide whether the item is something we want to buy. Read how a Zarax quotation progresses before you begin if you would like the full picture.
What shapes the offer
Six details help turn your carpet into a realistic valuation.
A precise model matters, but it is only one part of the assessment.
Material, colour and manufacturer
Mention what is present, what works and anything that a photograph alone may not explain.
Whether it is fitted or already lifted
Mention what is present, what works and anything that a photograph alone may not explain.
Stains, wear and edge condition
Mention what is present, what works and anything that a photograph alone may not explain.
Age, smoke and pet exposure
Mention what is present, what works and anything that a photograph alone may not explain.
Access and preparation for collection
Mention what is present, what works and anything that a photograph alone may not explain.
An honest description helps avoid surprises when the item is inspected. Our guide to how condition can influence an offer explains why small details are worth including.

Inspect and pay

Before the handover
Prepare the item without making the job bigger than it needs to be.

Clean the item enough for its condition, labels and fittings to be assessed.
02
Photograph every side, the model label, accessories and any visible wear.
03
Measure doorways, stairs and the route from the item to the nearest suitable exit.
If the item needs to be sent, use the private instructions we provide and follow our packaging guidance. Do not send anything until Zarax has confirmed that it wishes to proceed.

Customer feedback
Real experiences from people who sold their carpet through Zarax.
A nearly new roll of carpet was cluttering the garage. Zarax reviewed the measurements and arranged collection.
The leftover carpet was clean but awkwardly sized, so I sent exact dimensions and photos of the backing and pile. Zarax confirmed they were interested, agreed the collection details and paid after checking it.
We had ordered too much carpet during a renovation and the unused roll had been leaning against the garage wall ever since. I measured it twice, photographed the colour in daylight and included details of the material and storage condition. Zarax asked for one extra image of the edge, then discussed a price with me. Collection was organised around access to the garage, and the handover was far easier than trying to post a bulky roll.
The rolled carpet stopped acting as a garage obstacle and finally became money instead. A pleasing little clear-out. 🧹
I had an unused offcut in an unusual width, plus a separate matching strip. Exact measurements mattered, and Zarax asked the right practical questions before proceeding.
The carpet was left from fitting out an attic room, still clean and tightly rolled but far too long for our car. I measured both pieces twice, photographed the backing and showed where one edge had been trimmed. Zarax considered the usable dimensions rather than treating it as a standard roll. Once the collection arrangements were settled, the rest was straightforward and the agreed amount was paid.
Useful questions
Before you part with your carpet.
These answers cover the parts of the process people usually want to confirm before requesting a quote.
Value my carpetStart with the brand, full model number, specifications and an honest description of the condition. Add clear photographs of the item, label, accessories and any faults.
Potentially, yes. Acceptance depends on the item and the fault. Explain exactly what happens when it is switched on or used, and show the damaged area clearly.
Not always. The original packaging, power supply, remote, manuals or matching accessories can provide useful context, so list everything that is included.
Collection may be available when it is appropriate for the item and location. We will discuss access and the handover privately if we are interested in proceeding.
Payment follows receipt or collection and inspection. If the item matches the agreed details, Zarax pays the agreed amount by bank transfer or PayPal. If anything differs materially, we contact you first.
