About Us
Why we built FloorFreight.
We started FloorFreight because buying flooring online should be simple, transparent, and direct. No showroom, no sales floor — just great floors shipped straight from the source, at each brand’s advertised price.
The Problem
Big-box stores sell everything. Flooring is one aisle among dozens.
Walk into a big-box home improvement store to buy flooring and you’re one aisle among dozens. The person walking you through a $6,000 flooring decision may know mulch better than hardwood — big-box associates cover a lot of aisles, and flooring is rarely their specialty.
The floor itself is identical wherever you buy it — the same SKU, the same warranty, the same manufacturer. What differs is who’s helping you choose it and how it gets to you.
We thought there had to be a better way.
The Idea
An authorized dealer with no warehouse, no repackaging, and no extra stops.
FloorFreight is an authorized dealer for Shaw Industries, which was founded in 1967 and is headquartered in Dalton, Georgia. When you place an order with us, we place it directly with Shaw, and Shaw ships your floor to you from their facilities in Dalton.
There’s no warehouse in between. No repackaging. No extra truck ride. Your flooring goes from the factory floor to your curb in the most direct path possible.
Dalton, Georgia has been the carpet and flooring capital of the world for generations. Today, more flooring is manufactured within a 65-mile radius of Dalton than anywhere else on the planet. It’s home to Shaw, Mohawk, and dozens of other manufacturers — a concentration of flooring expertise and production capacity that exists nowhere else.
We built FloorFreight.com as an authorized dealer of Shaw Floors — a way to reach homeowners nationwide and ship premium, quality floors directly to the consumer. By operating lean — no showroom, no physical inventory, no commissioned sales staff — we pass the savings directly to you.

How It Works
Three steps. No surprises.
You order on FloorFreight
Browse our catalog of Shaw Floors, Anderson Tuftex, and COREtec products. Pick your style, enter your square footage, and check out. Pricing is upfront — what you see is what you pay.
We place your order with Shaw
As an authorized dealer, we submit your order directly to Shaw Industries. Their system picks, palletizes, and schedules your shipment from the Dalton, GA facilities.
Shaw ships direct to you
Your flooring ships via LTL freight from Dalton to your home or job site. You get tracking, delivery updates, and our team standing by if anything comes up along the way.
The Brands
Three brands, chosen on purpose.
We didn’t try to carry everything. We picked three brands from the Shaw Industries family, learned them properly, and built FloorFreight around them — so the person answering your question has actually sold the floor you’re asking about.
Shaw Floors
Founded 1967, headquartered in Dalton, Georgia
Shaw Industries was founded in 1967 and is headquartered in Dalton, GA. We carry their engineered hardwood and their luxury vinyl plank — the two categories most of our customers are choosing between — and both ship to you from Dalton.
Anderson Tuftex
Shaw's premium hardwood brand
Anderson Tuftex is Shaw's premium hardwood and carpet brand. The hardwood we carry runs to wide planks — 4.7" to 10.25" — with hand-scraped and wire-brushed textures and face veneers up to 6mm, thick enough to refinish. If you want a floor that feels like furniture, Anderson Tuftex is where to look.
COREtec
Created the rigid-core waterproof category
COREtec created the rigid-core waterproof category, patenting the core in 2010 and launching in 2012. That rigid core is why these planks won't swell, buckle, or warp — even in kitchens, bathrooms, and basements — and nearly every plank has cork or foam underlayment already attached.
These aren’t brands we settled for — they’re the brands we built around.
Our Promise
Small operation. Every order matters.
FloorFreight is a small team. We don’t have a call center or a chatbot army. What we do have is a genuine commitment to making sure every order goes smoothly — because at our size, every customer is someone we remember.
If something goes wrong with your shipment — damaged cartons, a missing pallet, a delivery that doesn’t show — we handle the freight claim for you. You don’t have to chase down carriers or fill out forms. That’s our job.
We have a sample system so you can see and feel products before committing to a full order. We think that’s important when you’re choosing something that will be in your home for decades.
And when you email us, a real person reads it and writes back. Usually within one business day. That’s a promise, not a target.
