Rug Love operates exclusively online; thus, we don't have a physical showroom or store for visits. Returns are not possible in person at any location. As stated on our Google Business profile and website, we are an online-only retailer, and we provide delivery-only service. Collections and returns in person are also not possible.
Before placing your order, please ensure you're familiar with our disclaimers on color and design, wool and shaggy rug shedding, handmade rug imperfections, and our rug warranty and defects policy. You can find more details at the links below:
- Handmade Rugs Disclaimer
- Product Color and Design Disclaimer
- Wool & Shaggy Rugs Shedding Disclaimer
- Rug Warranty & Defects Policy
Service and Communication
-
All correspondence is conducted exclusively through email. Like many modern digital-first online retailers such as ASOS, we have discovered that email is the most efficient mode of communication, ensuring clarity and reducing the likelihood of misunderstandings by preserving a written record of all discussions and agreements. Consequently, we have opted to discontinue telephone communications. Should you wish to contact us, kindly send an email to hello@ruglove.co.uk. We assure you that we will attend to all inquiries within 3 hours during our business hours.
-
We acknowledge that email-only communication may not be suitable for everyone, and some customers may still prefer telephone contact. We kindly request that you take this into account before placing an order. If you anticipate that our chosen communication method may lead to frustration for you, we respectfully suggest that you refrain from ordering from us and instead seek a retailer that aligns with your preferred method of communication.
-
While we acknowledge that some retailers continue to employ telephone communication, the prevailing sentiment suggests that phone calls almost always go unanswered, repeatedly for days at a time, and voicemails remain unreturned. In contrast, we exclusively utilize email communication and are committed to delivering a response within a maximum of 3 hours, consistently without fail.
Before placing your order, please make sure you're familiar with our disclaimers on colour and design, wool and shaggy rug shedding, as well as handmade rug imperfections. You can find more details at the links below:
At Rug Love, we go beyond generic colour labels. We are the only UK rug retailer that provides a detailed breakdown of every shade present in each rug, helping you make a more informed buying decision. While most retailers simply describe a rug as ‘cream’ or ‘grey,’ we ensure you know exactly what tones and variations are included, allowing you to find the perfect match for your space.

These can all be found in our help center, every product page, every email we send you (including order confirmation email), the return portal, chatbot, and the homepage footer. Failure to do so cannot be attributed to Rug Love. Our commitment to transparency and clarity is our top priority, aimed at preventing misunderstandings and minimizing disputes.

Shipping & Delivery Information
Dispatch Time
- In-stock orders are dispatched within 1-2 business days (Mon-Fri), excluding public holidays. To clarify, our quoted time frame of 1-2 days refers to dispatch, not delivery.
Delivery Details
-
All orders are always shipped free of charge, with no minimum spend. Deliveries are made from Monday to Friday, between 8 am and 6 pm. Unfortunately, we can't guarantee an exact delivery time. Our couriers do not operate on weekends. If your order hasn't been shipped within the specified timeframe, we suggest first verifying whether it's a pre-order that you might have overlooked.
-
Upon dispatch, generally, orders are sent via a 24-hour next-day service so you can expect your rug the next day. However, it may occasionally take up to 48 hours to arrive.
- Our fulfilment and allocation process is fully automated with our suppliers. You may initially receive a dispatch email earlier in the day, followed by a second email later on, which will include courier tracking details as soon as they are made available by the courier. Rest assured, your rug will arrive the following day as we use a next-day delivery service. You may notice that the tracking status shows as "pending" even after an item has been dispatched. This typically means the tracking is waiting for its initial route scan to be updated by the courier. Occasionally, it can take up to 24 hours for the courier to update and display tracking information
-
Although we send items using these services, during the busy festive period, we kindly ask that you allow a period of 3 days post-dispatch to report any undelivered items, allowing for potential minor courier delays in transit that may occur beyond our control. Most items should arrive on time, but slight courier delays are more common during this period due to the increase in volume being handled by couriers. We do apologize in advance for any delays and inconvenience caused. Please allow a few extra days for remote Scottish regions which are typically handled by a third-party courier. Occasionally, it can take up to 24 hours for the courier to update and display tracking information. At times, you might first get an email from us confirming the dispatch, followed by another around 4 p.m. with the tracking details once they're provided by the courier.
-
The courier may assign a 2-hour delivery window for your item, but please note that we cannot guarantee delivery within this timeframe due to factors outside our control. We recommend using the timeslot as a helpful estimate and treating the delivery as an all-day appointment, where the item may arrive at any time between 8 am and 6 pm. If your item is not delivered on the designated day, it will be scheduled for delivery on the following business day. We are unable to provide financial compensation for any delays that occur with the courier service. We extend our apologies for any inconvenience that may result from such delays.
-
Please make sure that there is someone available to provide a signature upon the delivery of your package, as a signature is required for all items. Please keep this in mind, especially if there is typically no one at home during the daytime. If there is no one available, the courier will take one of the following actions: They will make another delivery attempt on the next business day, leave the package with a neighbour, or leave a notice with additional instructions. Please be aware that we do not have control over which option the driver chooses. Additionally, please note that weekends are not considered business days. All our items are dispatched using a signed-for service. If a customer chooses to instruct the courier to leave an item without obtaining a signature, Rug Love cannot be held responsible for any missing or damaged items. We regret to inform you that no replacements or refunds will be provided under these circumstances, and this policy applies without exceptions. Please make sure to note any damage on the courier's documentation or refuse the delivery. By signing, you are acknowledging that you have received the item in satisfactory condition.
-
All of our products are shipped using a signed-for service. By signing for a parcel, you acknowledge receipt of the item in good condition. In the event of a damaged parcel, please still sign for it and make a clear note of the damage. Alternatively, you can choose to reject the item, and we will promptly arrange for a replacement rug to be sent to you. It is important to emphasize that if you mark the parcel as delivered in good condition or fail to specify any damage, you forfeit your right to request a refund or seek compensation from the courier. Typically, couriers allow a window of 7 to 14 days for you to report any delivery damage. Beyond this timeframe, claims for compensation will not be considered.
-
For pre-ordered items, refer to the product page for the most up-to-date estimated arrival, updated hourly. If a delay arises and you opt not to wait, you can cancel the order via the link in your confirmation email for a full refund. Remember, the due dates, which are approximate and subject to change beyond our control, represent our expected stock arrival, not your delivery. All UK rug stores share these same dates.

Mis-Delivery
If your delivery is marked as "delivered" but you haven't received it, please rest assured that it is almost always often due to a simple oversight. Most common reasons:
It has been left in your garden, safe place, porch, garage, or behind a gate.
A family member has taken it in without your knowledge.
A neighbour has taken it in.
A family member instructed the driver to leave the item in a safe place without your knowledge.
First, check around your property, including your porch, garage, back garden, bins, behind gates or other safe places where the courier may have left the package.
While we use a signed-for service, drivers may occasionally leave items in secure areas without obtaining a signature for which we do apologise. Next, check with your neighbour's in case they accepted the delivery on your behalf.
If the tracking indicates a name, such as "signed by Smith," verify if it's a neighbor or someone you are familiar with. Also, check your mailbox for any delivery notes from the courier specifying where the package was left such as at neighbour number 4.
Please verify that the delivery address provided at checkout was 100% accurate, we do not modify the address it gets exported to the courier exactly as provided.
If you still cannot locate your item after these steps, please contact us through the support chatbot below. We promise a response within 3 business hours. At this point, we will open a missing item investigation with the courier, requesting GPS data, delivery photos, and signatures to verify where the item was released by the driver. We resolve most issues with the courier within the hour.
If the driver confirms delivery but you're still missing the package, the driver will be sent back to retrieve and redeliver it, particularly in cases of mis delivery to the incorrect address.
If these steps are unsuccessful, we will file a missing item claim with the courier and arrange for a replacement. Please note that refunds or replacements will only be issued once the courier's investigation concludes, which may take a few days.
For customers in apartments or flats, check with your reception or building security to see if they accepted the package on your behalf. We frequently face challenges with deliveries to apartments and flats. While couriers should ideally deliver directly to your door, this may not always occur. Please inform us of any special access requirements/gate codes that might facilitate delivery.
Rescheduled Deliveries
If your item is not delivered for any reason on the designated day, it will automatically be rescheduled for delivery by the courier on the following business day, so you do not need to take any action.
Signature Requirement
Please make sure that there is someone available to provide a signature upon the delivery of your package, as a signature is required for all items. Please keep this in mind, especially if there is typically no one at home during the daytime. The courier usually offers a 2-hour delivery window. For large freight items handled by DX Freight, identifiable by tracking codes starting with "L," the driver is expected to call in advance instead.
Common Delivery Failures
The most frequent cause of delivery failure is the customer not being available to sign for the item. All items are sent via a signed-for service, and delivery can also fail due to insufficient address details, such as missing door numbers or street names, or lack of access codes for flats and apartments.
Driver's Discretion
While we use a signed-for service, drivers may occasionally leave items in secure areas without obtaining a signature, for which we do apologise.
Missing Item Investigation
If you cannot locate your item, please raise a support request via our chatbot providing your order details. We will open a missing item investigation with the courier, requesting GPS data, delivery photos, and signatures to verify where the item was released by the driver and request the driver returns to the property to resolve if necessary. We resolve most issues with the courier within the hour and will be able to update you promptly with a resolution.
Courier Provider Information
The courier services are independent providers utilized by Rug Love and other retailers. We have no affiliation with these couriers and no control over their services or the actions of their drivers. If a delivery doesn’t take place on a given day, the courier will take one of the following actions: They will automatically make a delivery attempt on the next business day, leave the package with a neighbour, or leave a notice with additional instructions. Please be aware that while we use a strictly signed-for delivery service, we do not have control over the actions of the driver. On occasion, drivers may leave items in secure areas without obtaining a signature. Although this should not happen, we want to be transparent and acknowledge that it can occasionally occur, even with our signed-for service.
Shipping Locations
- We ship exclusively to the mainland UK and the Scottish Highlands. We do not deliver to any part of Ireland or Northern Ireland, the Scottish Islands, the Channel Islands, or the Isle of Man. We made the strategic choice to cease our deliveries to Ireland for several key reasons. These include items frequently being declined at the export hub, extensive delays in delivery, and instances of items going missing, resulting in customer dissatisfaction, and a decline in service quality. Additionally, managing returns and faulty items, especially larger ones, posed a cost-effective challenge. Furthermore, some customers were unaware of customs and duty taxes, leading to further frustrations in the delivery process.
Multiple Items
- If you've ordered multiple rugs, they may be dispatched separately. Check your order confirmation to see the dispatch status of each item.
Delivery Address
- We do not modify the delivery address post-purchase. It's sent to the courier exactly as provided. If there's an error, please get in touch with us immediately. Please ensure the address is correct and well-formatted to avoid delivery failures and delays.
Tracking & Responsibility
- Once dispatched, we'll provide you with tracking details. We aren't accountable for delays post-dispatch and can only access the same tracking information shared with you.
Apartment/Flat Deliveries
- We frequently face challenges with deliveries to apartments and flats. While couriers should ideally deliver directly to your door, this may not always occur. Please inform us of any special access requirements/gate codes that might facilitate delivery. If you experience any issues, first verify whether the package was left in a secure location, with a neighbour, or with building security. Should these options prove unfruitful, please don't hesitate to contact us for additional assistance.
Misdelivery
- If a package is incorrectly delivered, the courier will attempt to retrieve and redeliver it. Any refunds or replacements for undelivered items will be processed once the courier's investigation concludes, which may take several days. To deter fraudulent activities, particularly in apartment complexes and flats, our policy stipulates that if the delivery service can provide photographic evidence of the delivery, we will exclusively provide a replacement for the item and will not process any refunds. If you find that your purchase was returned to us by our delivery partners, it could be due to one of the following reasons: the recipient declined the package, our delivery partner couldn't reach the address or find anyone present after multiple attempts, the delivery address had missing details, the package was damaged during transit, or the order wasn't collected from the designated access point within 10 days of arrival. All our items are dispatched using a signed-for service. If a customer chooses to instruct the courier to leave an item without obtaining a signature, Rug Love cannot be held responsible for any missing items. We regret to inform you that no replacements or refunds will be provided under these circumstances, and this policy applies without exceptions.
Last Unit
-
If you decide to place an order for a product that is marked as "Last One" on the product page. This designation is authentic and comes directly from the manufacturer, indicating that it's the final available unit. While we strive to secure this item for you, there is the occasional situation where, once a product reaches its last unit, it may become sold out or unavailable. This circumstance only applies to items we've labeled as "Last One." We kindly ask you to consider this possibility when purchasing with this prefix, as there's a chance it may not be available. If, in the rare event, the last unit becomes unavailable, we will promptly reach out to you. We will provide you with the option of either a refund or inform you about when the next batch of stock is expected. It's important to note that the stock status and stock due dates are consistent across all UK retailers since we all rely on the same suppliers.
-
As stated on our Google Business profile, website, help centre, and chat bot, we are an online-only retailer, and we provide delivery-only service. Collections and returns are not possible in person and must be done via courier.
Pre-Orders
Pre-Order Service
-
At Rug Love, we understand the excitement of getting that perfect rug. If your desired rug isn't available immediately, no worries! You can reserve it through our pre-order service. For each product on pre-order, we typically provide an "approximate due date" for your reference. Once your pre-ordered item is back in stock, we will automatically ship it to you. There's no need to reach out to us. Kindly allow for our standard dispatch and delivery times.
-
Due Dates Apply Universally
The pre-order due date we provide applies to all orders, regardless of when they were placed. If the due date changes or is pushed back, the updated date will apply to all pre-orders, irrespective of the original date quoted at the time your order was placed.
-
Please note that the ongoing crisis in the Red Sea may necessitate some shipping vessels to navigate via alternative, longer routes. This could potentially cause delays in the delivery of your pre-order.
-
As the very first rug store to provide live pre-order due dates, we provide you with real-time information on the expected dates of pre-ordered items. By providing live pre-order dates that are updated hourly, we aim to enhance your shopping experience and provide you with accurate information about when your selected rug will be available for delivery. It's worth noting that all UK rug stores receive stock from the same suppliers. This means no other retailer will get a pre-ordered rug faster than we do.
Deposit Option
-
As the sole rug store to offer this option, we take pride in presenting you with a convenient and flexible solution. With our exclusive 20% pre-order deposit option, you can secure your desired rug without the need for a full upfront payment. If you choose to select the 20% pre-order deposit option, once the item is back in stock and ready for dispatch, you will automatically receive an invoice via email to pay the balance. Payment can be made using any of our accepted methods, including Klarna, Clearpay, Laybuy, and PayPal.
-
If you opt for our 20% deposit option, it guarantees the rug at its present price. You will settle the remaining balance at the price prevailing at the time of your order, irrespective of any potential increase in the rug's price.
-
If you decide you'd rather not wait or if an unexpected delay occurs, you have the flexibility to cancel your order through your order confirmation page. This will trigger an instant, full refund.
-
For those who choose to pre-order, we kindly ask you to monitor the expected delivery date on our site before and after your purchase; these are updated hourly.
-
Lastly, we don't offer financial compensation for delays. We understand the frustration they may cause, but rest assured, we're in the same boat as other retailers. If waiting becomes too much, remember that you can always cancel for a full refund at any point.
-
It's not unusual for pre-order due dates to fluctuate before the stock arrives. While we consistently update and display the most current date we have available, if you think these potential date changes might be frustrating for you, we suggest refraining from pre-ordering. Instead, you may want to wait until the item is back in stock before placing your order.

Handling Damaged Deliveries
All our deliveries require a signature by default. Here’s what you should do if you receive a damaged rug or notice any damage to the packaging:
Recommended Steps:
Reject on Arrival: If the rug or its packaging is clearly damaged during transit, we recommend rejecting the delivery. Inform the courier and refuse the item and mark it as return to sender
Outcome: We will send you a new rug or issue a refund. This is the most straightforward and best option.
Accepting the Item: If you choose to accept the item despite visible damage, please follow these steps:
Note the Damage: Immediately note any damage to the courier. This can be damage to the wrapping, rug backing, or anything unusual.
Sign with a Note: When signing for the item, specify the noted damage. This ensures there is a written record that the item was received with issues. This makes it much easier to file a claim with the courier.
Important Considerations:
Good Condition Acknowledgement: Signing without specifying any issues means you acknowledge the item was received in good condition. It is important to emphasize that if you mark the parcel as delivered in good condition or fail to specify any damage, you forfeit your right to request a refund or seek compensation from the courier.

Hand-Made/Jute/Sisal Rugs Disclaimer: AN IMPORTANT NOTE
- Our collection of Handmade, 100% Jute and Sisal rugs are made by hand, each one is unique as such they will have imperfections known as ‘Abrash’ which means natural and variable change in colour, design, size, pattern, yarn, stitching & texture that occurs in handmade rugs along with natural fibre loss and shedding, rogue mixed colour yarns & loose threads. It gives the rugs life and character and ensures you have a unique rug. Similarly, all-natural plant fibre rugs, such as Sisal rugs, embrace their normal irregularities as part of their charm. Variations in weave and shading, for instance, contribute to their distinctive and captivating character, making each natural fibre rug unique. In essence, all-natural grass fibre rugs are beautifully "perfectly imperfect." Synthetic latex backing is one of the biggest culprits in new rug smell, affecting both natural and man-made materials. Many natural rugs, such as Jute and Sisal, are flat-woven, eliminating the need for a latex backing. But still, natural Plant-based sisal, jute, and seagrass rugs typically start out with a mild, straw-like aroma. please bear these factors in mind before purchasing this type of rug. If you are particular about uniformity and perfection, a handmade or natural jute rug might not be for you. In such cases, we recommend machine-made rugs created from synthetic materials for a more standardized appearance. Please note that even if you exchange a rug, the replacement will have its own distinct imperfections and characteristics. Familiarize yourself with our handmade and wool disclaimers in our help center to ensure you're informed before making a purchase.
Handmade Rugs
-
Handmade rugs are unique masterpieces that embody the beauty of imperfection and individuality, characterized by color variations (abrash), slight imperfections, and loose threads that testify to their artisanal craftsmanship. Unlike machine-made rugs, each handmade piece is distinct, with no guarantee of an exact color or pattern match for multiple units due to differences in dye batches and handcrafting processes. Additionally, size can vary within a 4% tolerance, emphasizing the personal touch and traditional techniques in each creation. Choosing a handmade rug means embracing its unique characteristics, making it a statement of cultural history and artistry in your space.
-
Each product page provides crucial information about potential shedding (for wool rugs) or imperfections (for handmade/jute/sisal rugs). Ensure you're informed before making a purchase.
Specifically
-
Our delicate loop pile wool rugs, like La Paya, Delilah, and Savannah, might be prone to snags, especially from pet claws or heels. Any small imperfections can usually be trimmed without any issue. Before making your purchase, please check the product description where we mention potential imperfections and other characteristics unique to handmade or jute rugs. It's essential to note that even if a rug is exchanged, its replacement will still exhibit its own set of unique attributes.
-
We caution pet owners considering a jute rug, as pet claws can result in unwanted snags and pulls. A rug made of polypropylene might be a more durable choice for such households.
-
While we strive for accuracy in rug dimensions, there can be variations up to 4%, a standard deviation in the industry. This variability is especially true for our handmade collection, where each rug is distinct. Such minor irregularities are the very essence of handcrafted items, enhancing their charm and uniqueness.
-
For those ordering multiple units of the same handmade rug, please understand that each rug will have its distinct design, size, pattern, and color, given their handcrafted nature. If perfect consistency is crucial for you, we recommend opting for machine-made options.
Wool Rugs and Shedding: What to Expect
Shedding
-
Wool rugs, genuine sheepskins, and some deep-pile shaggy rugs have a natural tendency to shed – this means fibers may come loose. It's not a flaw in the manufacturing process but a natural characteristic of these materials.
-
Shedding is Expected: Every wool rug will shed. The amount of shedding will reduce with time and wear, but it's essential to note that some rugs may continue to shed throughout their lifespan. On average, it takes between 20-25 vacuum sessions to significantly reduce shedding.
-
Not a Fault: We cannot accept returns for wool or genuine sheepskin rugs based on shedding, as it's an expected behavior. If you're concerned about shedding, you might prefer a machine-made rug crafted from synthetic materials.
-
Product Details: We always emphasize in our product descriptions if a rug is woolen and prone to shedding. We encourage customers to take this into account before making a purchase.
-
Durability: Shedding doesn't compromise the rug's durability. For instance, our thick high-pile shaggy wool rugs from the 'Rocks' collection may shed throughout their lifespan, more than typical low-pile wool rugs, due to their dense nature. If this is a potential concern, we'd recommend considering an alternative rug type.
New Rug Odor
-
The distinct smell from a new rug stems from the chemicals, known as volatile organic compounds (VOCs), used during its production. This "off-gassing" is typical, especially with synthetic latex backings. The scent, sometimes reminiscent of a musty aroma due to the rug's animal fiber origin, will dissipate over time.
-
In summary, it's vital to understand the natural attributes of wool and similar materials when considering a purchase, ensuring satisfaction with your beautiful new addition.
Pile Flattening/Durability/Warranty/Wear
Pile Flattening
-
All rugs with pile, over time, experience some degree of pile flattening and matting. This is a natural process and isn't deemed a manufacturing defect; therefore, it isn't covered by manufacturer warranties. Particularly plush high-pile rugs (4 cm and above) are more prone to such flattening and matting.
-
Several of our shaggy rug collections, including Montana, Polar, Sierra 9000, Extravagance, Plush, and Barnaby, are susceptible to a phenomenon known in the rug industry as "sprouting" or "pilling." This is when some threads or strands in the rug pile appear longer than others. If you encounter this, simply trim the protruding threads with sharp scissors. Avoid pulling these threads as it could damage your rug. It's important to note that sprouting/pilling is a typical occurrence, especially in high-pile rugs, and isn’t indicative of a manufacturing flaw.
-
Conversely, short pile or flat-weave rugs (0.8 cm and below) experience this flattening to a lesser extent. If you're concerned about pile flattening, we suggest opting for a shorter pile rug, preferably under 0.8 cm made of polypropylene. Please understand that flattening isn't a defect, and replacing a rug will not prevent the new one from exhibiting the same characteristics with use.
Product Guarantee and Warranties
-
Rugs are considered commodities, and therefore, none of our manufacturers offer warranties for their products. Instead, these products are governed by the Sales of Goods Act, which includes provisions for reasonable use and wear and tear. In most cases, we anticipate that these products should remain in good condition for a minimum of 6 months. However, it's important to note that this does not guarantee a replacement or refund.
-
According to the Sales of Goods Act, should a problem arise within the first 30 days after purchase, you have a legal right to either a refund or replacement. After this initial 30-day window and up until 6 months, you can still ask for a repair or replacement, but there is no obligation on our part to offer any refund. Once 6 months have elapsed, unless you can convincingly prove that the item was defective upon receipt, we are under no legal obligation to offer a replacement, repair, or refund. It's important to note that without evidence of a fault at the time of delivery, we won't entertain any claims post the 6-month mark, no exceptions. For all transactions, our default stance is that the product was received in good condition unless we're notified otherwise. Since there's no universal standard for how long a rug should last given the multitude of variables, we focus on initial quality. Understandably, we cannot determine how the rug has been treated or whether the care guidelines were adhered to. Any potential faults should be reported immediately upon receipt. Any failure to report defects promptly cannot be attributed to Rug Love.
-
We emphasize checking your rug upon its arrival including a thorough inspection of its backing, even if you don't plan on using it immediately. The lifespan of a rug is determined by various factors: its location, exposure to sunlight, traffic frequency, presence of pets and children, furniture placement, and more. Since there's no universal standard for how long a rug should last given the multitude of variables, we focus on initial quality. Any potential faults should be reported immediately upon receipt. After 30 days from receipt, any claims of fault will be approached with the presumption that the rug was in good condition upon delivery. However, it's important to note that while we are often told that a rug has never been used, we have no means of ascertaining or validating how the rug has been used. Any failure to report defects promptly as per our terms and conditions cannot be attributed to Rug Love.
- Before submitting a claim for a potential defect, please make sure you've thoroughly reviewed the product description as the issue you're noticing might be a normal characteristic of the rug. For instance, wool rugs will shed, and handmade rugs will have imperfections, which we mention in advance. Please note that if you decide you don't like your rug or it doesn't meet your needs, you have 14 days to return it without needing to provide a reason. Not liking a rug and its characteristics or it not meeting your expectations does not necessarily indicate a defect. We frequently include additional details about the rug's characteristics in the product description, along with photos that we take ourselves. Please review the product listing for this information.
Pile Shading
-
At times, you might notice certain areas of a rug appearing lighter or darker compared to its surrounding sections. This isn't due to a change in color but rather an optical illusion resulting from pile direction alterations. The varied reflection of light off the rug's surface, depending on the angle from which it's viewed, causes this phenomenon known as "shading" or sometimes referred to as "Pile Reversal," "Pooling," or "Watermarking."
-
Rug fibers have a natural inclination to lean in a specific direction. When all fibers lean cohesively, the rug portrays a consistent color. However, with time and usage, some fibers may deviate from this standard direction, causing changes in light reflection. Such deviations are more noticeable in frequently trafficked areas or near often-used furniture but can also appear in less-trodden zones or even beneath furniture. It's not uncommon for brand new rugs to exhibit this trait.
-
Shading is most prominent in dense, plush, cut pile rugs, especially those with solid or plain colors, while patterns tend to camouflage it effectively. It's worth noting that after a cleaning session, shading might become more pronounced, leading some to believe it resulted from the cleaning. On clarification, most realize that previously unnoticed shading became evident due to altered furniture placement, different lighting conditions, or uniform soiling prior to cleaning.
-
Importantly, shading doesn't compromise a rug's durability or wear. It's an inherent characteristic of certain rug types and not a manufacturing flaw. Predicting or preventing shading is challenging. However, consistent direction brushing during regular maintenance can minimize its appearance.
Cut Pile Directional Shading
- Please note every Rug has a pile direction. That is the direction in which the fibers of the Rug run. With a cut pile Rug, the light is reflected off the fibers in a different manner, making the color of the Rug appear different—either lighter or darker than the original color. This effect can often be noticed simply by looking at your Rug from opposite sides of the room. Look at your Rug from one end of the room, then walk to the other end and turn around, and look back at the Rug. You may notice that it appears darker in one direction than the other. This is not a manufacturing fault but simply a natural characteristic of cut pile Rugs. It is worth bearing this in mind based on where you intend on using it and if the rug appearing lighter or darker from one side will present an issue. Consider if this variation in appearance might be an issue. Collections such as Aurora, Craft, Apollo, and Florence exemplify rugs that exhibit this effect.
Sprouting/Long Threads (Shaggy Rugs)
- Certain rugs, due to their construction method, can exhibit what professionals in the rug world call "sprouting" or "pilling". This refers to instances where certain threads or strands stand out, being longer than the surrounding pile. If you encounter this, simply trim these protruding strands using sharp scissors. This won't harm the integrity or appearance of the rug. Please refrain from pulling on these longer threads as it could potentially damage the rug. Many of our dense, shaggy rug lines, including Montana, Polar, Sierra 9000, Extravagance, Plush, and Barnaby, can exhibit this characteristic. It's important to note that sprouting/pilling is a typical occurrence in high-pile rugs and isn't indicative of a manufacturing error.

If this poses a challenge, we recommend choosing a retailer with a physical storefront for easier returns. Please factor this into your decision-making prior to making a purchase.
Product Colour & Design Disclaimer
-
Whilst the images and colour classification are provided by the manufacturer used by all UK retailers, we are the only rug retailer to provide a full colour breakdown and a AR Rug Visualiser and our product descriptions offer detailed specifications that many retailers overlook. However, if exact colour matching is essential, we recommend in-store shopping, as images can never fully replicate seeing a rug in person — a limitation of buying online. At Rug Love, we strive for transparency and clarity regarding the colours and designs of our products. However, as with all online retailers, there are inherent challenges with capturing and representing colours accurately. Our colour/image/design disclaimer is to prevent engaging in disputes & differing opinions regarding product colours and designs. If you purchase multiple units of the same rug, we cannot ensure that their colours will match or that they come from the same inventory batch. Please reach out to us before placing your order if you'd like us to verify batch consistency. This discrepancy arises because dye colours differ from one batch to another, and an exact match cannot be guaranteed. Despite every effort to provide accurate images of each product's colour and design, actual colours and design may vary slightly, due to different device screen settings, the lighting in the location and other factors. Rug Love will not accept responsibility for any colour or design differences that are not actual factory faults. In purchasing from Rug Love, you agree to accept the small risk that there may be a slight variation between the actual colour and design, and the representation on our website. Any returns for a product due to customer dissatisfaction with a colour (that is not a fault) will need to follow our usual returns policy and a full refund will be provided. If you are trying to colour match to existing decor or require a very specific shade, we recommend visiting a rug store in person to avoid disappointment. The product colour we state and images we display are provided by the manufacturer and used by all UK Retailers, whilst each person’s opinion & interpretation will vary.
- Rug Love offers more comprehensive details than any other rug store regarding the colours and shades in our rugs, all of which are clearly outlined in the product descriptions. We are also the only rug store featuring an AR rug visualiser. Additionally, we provide more customer photos—including Instagram submissions and in-house shots—than any rug other store, to better represent each item.
-
Please be aware that our rug visualizer is intended for reference purposes only. While we strive for accuracy, we cannot guarantee that the color or size displayed is perfectly to scale. As the only rug store providing an augmented reality rug visualizer, we offer this as an additional tool to assist you in making an informed selection.
Washable Rug Disclaimer
At Rug Love, we offer a selection of rugs that are marked as machine washable. However, please note that Rug Love cannot be held responsible for any damage that may occur as a result of washing your rug. While the rug may be suitable for machine washing, there are many factors outside our control, such as the washing method, machine type, water temperature, and detergent used. It is the customer’s responsibility to follow care instructions carefully and ensure their washing equipment is suitable. Please proceed with caution when washing your rug. Additionally, we have no way to ascertain how the rug has been treated during the drying process, for example, if heat is applied in a tumble dryer it can damage the rug. To avoid damaging the rug, line drying is advised

In the event of a faulty item, the manufacturer will arrange for collection. Please note the following:
- All-Day Appointments: Collections are arranged for the entire day, and specific timing cannot be guaranteed.
- Weekday Collections Only: Weekend collections are not available.
- Presence Required: Someone must be present during the collection window. If this presents a challenge, we recommend choosing a retailer with a physical storefront for easier returns.

If the manufacturer determines the item is faulty, a replacement will be dispatched. The manufacturer’s decision is final in these cases.
As an online-only retailer we can only deal with defective issues via courier services please take into this consideration.
Once your rug has been delivered to you, you become the owner of the goods, and they are held at your own risk. We cannot be held responsible for any loss, damage, or destruction of the rug after delivery.
Initial Inspection: Please inspect your rug upon arrival, including the backing, even if you don't plan to use it immediately. Should you find any faults, report them to us within 3 days of delivery to ensure we can address any issues that may have originated from Rug Love.
Lifespan Factors: The longevity of your rug will depend on several factors, such as its location, exposure to sunlight, foot traffic, pets, and the placement of furniture. We emphasize the importance of reporting any potential faults as soon as possible, as we cannot assess if the issue has been caused in-situ.
Manufacturer Claims: In the event of an issue, notify us promptly to increase the likelihood of a successful manufacturer claim. Rugs are commodities, and our manufacturers do not offer warranties. Instead, all claims are governed by the Sales of Goods Act. Please report any defects within 3 days of delivery as we focus on the rug’s initial quality and assume the item to be in good condition unless we are informed otherwise. All claims will be submitted to the manufacturer.
Hand-Made/Jute/Sisal Rugs Disclaimer: AN IMPORTANT NOTE
Our collection of Handmade, 100% Jute, and Sisal rugs are crafted by hand, making each rug unique. As such, they will have natural imperfections, known as ‘Abrash,’ which include:
- Variations in colour, design, size, pattern, yarn, stitching, and texture
- Natural fibre loss, shedding, rogue mixed-colour yarns, and loose threads
These features give the rugs life and character, ensuring that you have a truly one-of-a-kind piece. Similarly, all-natural plant fibre rugs, such as Sisal, embrace these irregularities as part of their charm. Variations in weave and shading contribute to their distinctive, captivating character, making each rug "perfectly imperfect."
It's important to note that synthetic latex backing can sometimes cause a noticeable odour in both natural and man-made rugs. However, many natural rugs, like Jute and Sisal, are flat-woven and do not require latex backing. While natural plant-based rugs like Jute and Sisal often start with a mild, straw-like scent, this typically dissipates over time.
Please bear these factors in mind before purchasing. If you are particular about uniformity and perfection, a handmade or natural jute rug may not be the right choice for you. In such cases, we recommend machine-made rugs from synthetic materials for a more standardised appearance.
Even if you choose to exchange a handmade rug, please be aware that the replacement will come with its own unique imperfections and characteristics.
For customers ordering multiple units of the same handmade rug, please understand that each rug will have its own distinct design, size, pattern, and colour due to their handcrafted nature. If perfect consistency is important to you, we recommend opting for machine-made options.
For further details, please refer to our Handmade and Wool Disclaimers in the Help Centre to ensure you are fully informed before making a purchase.

Our colour/image/design disclaimer is intended to prevent disputes and differing opinions regarding product colours and designs. The images we use are supplied by the manufacturer and are used by all UK retailers.
At Rug Love, we pride ourselves on offering superior product descriptions and specifications that most rug retailers overlook. We include an in-depth breakdown of all colours and shades in each rug, along with material, pile height, pile weight, texture, pile type, and backing—ensuring you have all the details needed to make the perfect choice. We also lead the industry in showcasing in-situ user-generated content (UGC), being the first rug store to widely incorporate real-life images from Instagram and hundreds of our creators.

-
Multiple Units: If you purchase multiple units of the same rug, we cannot ensure that their colours will match or that they will come from the same inventory batch.

This discrepancy arises because dye colours differ from one batch to another, and an exact match cannot be guaranteed. This is especially true for hand-made rugs.

Important Disclaimers
-
Accuracy of Product Images: The colour classification and images of our products are provided by manufacturers and are used universally by all retailers across the UK. Colour interpretation is subjective and may vary from person to person. Additionally, device screens can display colours differently due to varying settings and lighting conditions.
-
Nuance of Colour: Descriptions like 'White', 'Ivory', 'Cream', 'Beige', 'Teal', 'Duck Egg', 'Natural', and 'Rustic' can be subjective. Most rugs described as 'white' tend to lean towards cream or ivory; very few, if any, rugs on the market are pure white.
-
Guidance, Not Guarantee: Our product images are intended to guide and give a general idea. We do not guarantee an exact match to the real-life product in terms of colour or design. Rug Love is not responsible for slight variations unless they are due to manufacturing defects.
- Before submitting a claim for a potential defect, please make sure you've thoroughly reviewed the product description as the issue you're noticing might be a normal characteristic of the rug. For instance, wool rugs will shed, and handmade rugs will have imperfections, which we mention in advance. Please note that if you decide you don't like your rug or it doesn't meet your needs, you have 14 days to return it without needing to provide a reason. Not liking a rug and its characteristics or it not meeting your expectations does not necessarily indicate a defect. We frequently include additional details about the rug's characteristics in the product description, along with photos that we take ourselves. Please review the product listing for this information. The images we use are supplied by the manufacturer and used by all UK retailers. All items are sent via signed-for service. If damaged in transit, reject the delivery or note the damage when signing to allow for a claim. Kindly measure your space to avoid returns and additional costs. Among the three main size options, one will typically be the most suitable choice, It's common for customers to find that 080x150 cm rugs are smaller than expected, while 200x290 cm rugs often appear larger than anticipated.
Wool Rugs and Shedding: What to Expect
We emphasise in our product descriptions that shaggy and wool rugs are prone to shedding. If shedding is likely to cause frustration, we recommend selecting a non-shedding rug not made from wool.
Wool Rugs, Sheepskins, and Shedding
Wool rugs, genuine sheepskins, and deep-pile shaggy rugs have a natural tendency to shed, meaning that fibres will come loose. This is not a flaw in the manufacturing process but a natural characteristic of these materials.
Key Information About Shedding:
-
Shedding is Expected: Every wool rug will shed. The amount of shedding will reduce over time with wear, but some rugs may continue to shed throughout their lifespan. On average, it takes between 20-25 vacuuming sessions to significantly reduce shedding.
-
Not a Fault: We cannot accept returns for wool or genuine sheepskin rugs based on shedding, as it's an expected behaviour. If you are concerned about shedding, you may prefer a machine-made rug crafted from synthetic materials.
-
Product Details: We emphasise in our product descriptions when a rug is woollen and prone to shedding. Please consider this before making a purchase.
Characteristics of Wool and Shaggy Rugs
-
Shaggy Rugs and Shedding: Plush shaggy rugs will shed fibres, which is completely normal and does not affect the durability of the rug. High-pile rugs (4 cm and above) are most prone to flattening, matting, and shedding. This includes collections such as Montana, Polar, Sierra 9000, Extravagance, Plush, and Barnaby.
-
Sprouting/Pilling: High-pile rugs may experience sprouting or pilling, where some strands or threads appear longer than others. Simply trim any longer threads with sharp scissors—do not pull, as this may damage the rug.
Durability and New Rug Odour
-
Durability: Shedding does not compromise a rug’s durability, meaning it won’t wear out! For example, high-pile wool rugs, such as those from our Rocks collection, may shed more than typical low-pile wool rugs due to their density, but this does not affect their longevity.
-
New Rug Odour: The smell of a new rug is caused by volatile organic compounds (VOCs) used during production. This “off-gassing” is common and typical with rugs that have synthetic latex backings. The scent, often described as musty due to the animal fibre origin, will fade over time.
To clean your washable rug, always follow the care instructions on the rug label, as these may differ depending on the rug. General recommendations include: machine wash at 30°C, avoid using bleach, and line drying is preferred. If using a tumble dryer, select an air-only cycle without heat.
- Line drying is strongly advised over spin drying. Hang the rug outside in a well-ventilated area to allow it to air dry.
- If using a tumble dryer, select an air-only cycle without heat to avoid damaging the rug.
- To remove excess water, you can roll the rug in a dry towel and press down to absorb the moisture.
Washable Rug Disclaimer
At Rug Love, we offer a selection of rugs that are marked as machine washable. However, please note that Rug Love cannot be held responsible for any damage that may occur as a result of washing your rug. While the rug may be suitable for machine washing, there are many factors outside our control, such as the washing method, machine type, heat, water temperature, heat temperature and detergent used. for example using a tumble drier with heat can damage the rug, this is why we advise to line dry. It is the customer’s responsibility to follow care instructions carefully and ensure their washing equipment is suitable. Please proceed with caution when washing your rug. Additionally, we have no way to ascertain how the rug has been treated during the drying process, for example, if heat is applied in a tumble dryer it can damage the rug. To avoid damaging the rug, line drying is advised
Getting a Rug to Lay Flat & Creases
When rugs are shipped, they are typically rolled and may develop creases or fold marks upon unrolling. This is especially common with larger rugs. The weight of a tightly rolled rug can lead to temporary indentations or creases, but these are not defects.
Tips to Help Your Rug Lay Flat:
- Reverse Roll the Rug: Lay the rug flat in the opposite direction that it was rolled for a few hours.
- Warmth and Pressure: Place your rug in a warm room or near a heat source to soften the backing, and use weights like furniture to help flatten the rug.
- Time and Patience: Some creases will naturally fall out after a few days to weeks, depending on the rug's material and environment.
- Vacuum Regularly: Vacuuming can help reduce fold marks and flatten out the rug more quickly.
Tassels & Larger Rugs:
- Tassels: If your rug has tassels, they may be flattened or twisted upon arrival. These will straighten out naturally over time or can be gently straightened by hand.
- Larger Rugs: Heavier and larger rugs (such as 160x230cm or bigger) may take longer to settle. You may need to use heavier furniture to hold them flat during the settling process.
These temporary marks are normal and should fade with time and regular use.
Return Process and Shipping Responsibility
Return Shipping Responsibility & Guidance
Customers bear the responsibility for return shipping fees, which is standard for most online rug retailers. Before placing an order, please familiarise yourself with the potential costs associated with returns, particularly for large and bulky items.
Return Cost Breakdown
- Small Rugs & Runners (up to 120cm in length): Approx. £5.72
- Small Rugs (up to 125cm in length): Approx. £10.62
-
Large Rugs (160cm up to 199cm in length): Approx. £22.80 via DHL (excluding very plush/thick types, which may cost more).
- Extra Large Rugs (200 x 290cm) and Super Plush/Thick Heavy Shaggy Rugs:Examples: Montana, Plush, Barnaby, Plush Moroccan Shaggy Rugs - Estimated cost: £38.68 - £44.72 via DHL.
- Oversized Rugs (240cm+): Approx. £38.68 - £44.72 via DHL.
Please note that these rates may vary and are intended as guidance only. If your courier quotes a higher price, you may have entered incorrect dimensions. Remember to follow our recommendations for accurate return instructions to avoid unnecessary expenses.
Return Cost Transparency & Courier Surcharges
At Rug Love, we strive to be as transparent as possible regarding return costs—more so than many of our competitors—because we understand how important clarity is for our customers.
Return costs are clearly listed:
- On every product page
- In a link included in every email we send
- Detailed in our Help Centre, chatbot, return portal, home page, and terms of service
We genuinely cannot think of anywhere else to make this information more prominent. Please review the return approval email you received, as it outlines all relevant details comprehensively. If you believe we’ve missed something, please let us know—we’re confident we have covered every scenario, including this one.
Possible Reasons for the Surcharge
While the courier costs we provide are typically accurate and up-to-date, they do not include any potential surcharges, which are a separate matter.
The two main reasons for courier surcharges are:
1. The customer has provided incorrect dimensions or weight for their item.
2. The customer has selected the wrong courier, failing to follow our return instructions, which specify that only DHL via Transglobal Express should be used for large rugs.
If the customer provides accurate details and uses the correct courier as advised, the quoted costs should generally remain as stated. If the courier indicates that the item is too large to quote, it is almost certainly due to incorrect dimensions or weight being entered, as even the largest rugs can be handled by couriers.
This surcharge is most likely due to:
- The item being larger than the dimensions originally quoted to the courier.
- The incorrect courier being used instead of the one we recommend.
- Typo - Incorrect dimensions given to the courier due to a typing error.
Please double-check the dimensions you provided to the courier for any errors.
Of course these issues are beyond our control but we will assist where possible.
Return Approval Email Details
Below is the information we provide in your return approved email. Kindly read this email fully.
Recommended Couriers & Sites
For large rugs, we strongly advise ONLY using DHL via Transglobal Express. While we provide courier suggestions based on rug size, these are simply recommendations. You are free to use any site or courier, but Rug Love cannot be held responsible if a customer chooses a more costly service that differs from our recommendations without consulting us first.
Packaging & Rug Dimension Guidelines
Before scheduling your courier service, please carefully verify the dimensions of your packaged rug. The final dimensions depend on how the rug is rolled and wrapped, and we are not responsible for any discrepancies.
Important Packaging Tips:
- Tape down the packaging at each end of the rug to ensure the size remains within the quoted dimensions.
- Use the factory-sealed measurements below as a general guide, but always allow extra space if the rug is not wrapped as tightly as received.
- The most common cause of courier surcharges is incorrect dimensions being provided.
- Always add at least 5cm to the length of the rug when quoting dimensions. Example: If your rug is 240cm long, quote at least 245cm to the courier.
- Ensure the rug weight is entered correctly in KG. Some customers accidentally leave the default courier weight set to 1KG, which can result in additional charges.
Example Rug Dimensions for Courier Quotes
| Rug SizeLength (cm)Width (cm)Height (cm)Weight (KG) | ||||
| 060 x 230cm | 70cm | 20cm | 20cm | 7KG |
| 080 x 150cm | 90cm | 20cm | 20cm | 7KG |
| 120 x 170cm | 120-125cm | 20cm | 20cm | 9KG |
| 160 x 230cm | 170cm | 23cm | 23cm | 15KG |
| 200 x 290cm | 205cm | 23cm | 23cm | 20KG |
| 240 x 340cm | 245cm | 25cm | 25cm | 25KG |
Note: These dimensions are only a guide. Your final packaged rug size may vary depending on how it is wrapped.
Booking Your Return
To successfully book your return, ensure the dimensions you provide are accurate (length, width, height, and weight).
Incorrect or undeclared dimensions may result in surcharges, for which Rug Love cannot be held responsible. Please double check the dimensions you provide the courier match the size of the rug when you have wrapped it. Please use the correct courier, for example only DHL for large rugs 160x230cm and above. Please contact us if you are unsure of anything before booking.
Key Reminders:
- Ensure the packaged length matches what was entered when booking the courier.
- Tape down the packaging at each end to avoid exceeding the quoted dimensions.
- If you are unsure about the weight or dimensions, please contact us before booking the courier.
Return Process
We have tried to make our return process as simple as possible, providing comprehensive guidelines. Many retailers simply provide the return address and leave the rest to you. We provide the most comprehensive details of any rug retailer, covering dimensions, weights, courier services, packaging, and booking procedures. If you need fresh packaging, you can request it from us, and we’ll dispatch it within 3-5 days via Royal Mail.
All returns must be arranged through our designated returns management platform. Returns cannot be accepted in person, and all returns must be sent via courier — no exceptions.
Once we receive your returned rug, we will conduct a thorough inspection. You will receive two email notifications:
- Acknowledgement of receipt.
- Confirmation of your refund.
Please allow 48 hours after receiving your rug for the inspection and refund process.
- Packaging Tips: Fully cover the rug, securing both ends to ensure it is protected from dirt and damage during transit. Avoid using Sellotape directly on the rug as it can damage fibres. If packaging is insufficient, we will not process refunds.
If you're returning a rug with an anti-slip mat, roll the mat inside the rug for easier packaging. Avoid using flimsy materials, and always ensure your rug is packaged securely.
Important: Damaged or soiled rugs are not eligible for refunds. If a rug is damaged during transit, claims must be made with the courier service. Rug Love will provide photographic evidence to support such claims.
Rug Love cannot be held responsible if customers disregard our return instructions and opt for more costly alternative services without contacting us for clarification.
If our terms do not align with your preferences, we kindly request that you refrain from placing an order with us.
To initiate a return or report an issue, please use our Return Portal.

Please note, these rates can vary daily and are intended as guidance only. Rug Love cannot be held responsible if customers decide to disregard our return instructions and opt for more costly alternative services that differ from our recommendations.
-
If you receive a significantly higher courier cost quote than the one mentioned above, it is probable that you've inputted incorrect dimensions for your rug or are not using the website we recommend for your rug size. Please refer to our guide below, and remember that you only need to provide three dimensions to the courier.
-
If you're considering ordering a large rug, specifically those sized 160 x 230cm and larger, it's important to note that you will need access to a printer to generate the courier label in case you need to make a return. Please keep this in mind before placing your order, especially if you don't have access to a printer.
-
If you're unfamiliar with booking courier services online and find it challenging, please take this into account and factor this into your decision-making prior to making a purchase in case of potential returns. If you don't currently have someone available to assist you or the person who helped you place the order. We suggest buying from a physical rug store to prevent such situations as we are exclusively an online retailer and can only facilitate returns through courier services.
Our Transparency Commitment
-
Before placing an order, it's crucial to emphasize the significance of familiarizing yourself with the potential costs associated with returns, especially for large and bulky items. While we cannot control courier costs, which are consistent with almost all online rug retailers, unlike others we prioritize being upfront and transparent about potential return expenses, especially for larger bulky items. Our aim is to prevent misunderstandings and avoid disputes related to shipping fees. If you anticipate issues with covering return costs, we kindly suggest purchasing from a brick-and-mortar retailer where you can return items in person. Though courier costs are beyond our control and align with industry standards, we believe in transparency regarding potential return costs. Rug Love cannot be held responsible if customers decide to disregard our return instructions and opt for more costly alternative services that differ from our recommendations.
-
As a small family-run business, we typically offer more affordable prices compared to larger retailers. Our customers enjoy advantageous pricing since we are among the most competitively priced online rug sellers. Our competitive pricing is a key aspect of our online service, this means that by choosing Rug Love, you most likely saved on your purchase, which we hope compensates partially for any return expenses. When you compare our prices to those of Rugs Direct, the market leader, you'll typically find that we offer more competitive prices, and we pass these savings directly on to you, our valued customers. It's important to note that even with higher-priced competitors, the return costs would remain the same and are beyond our control. We pride ourselves on providing a wider range of options than you might find on the high street, and we always include free delivery in our prices. Unfortunately, we are unable to extend this to include free returns. We emphasize potential return costs in every possible place on our site and in all our email communication with you, ensuring transparency. Rug Love cannot be held responsible if customers decide to disregard our return instructions and opt for more costly alternative services that differ from our recommendations.
Return Process
-
Customers must manage and arrange their own item returns.
-
We refrain from arranging courier services on behalf of customers due to past experiences. When we take on the responsibility as the organizer, we've observed a tendency for customers to neglect proper packaging and sealing of items for transit for which we become liable as the organizer. This lack of care can result in additional courier fees or damage to the shipped items. Consequently, we now require customers to personally arrange their returns and assume responsibility until the items are safely returned to us.
-
The item remains your responsibility until we receive it. Therefore, always obtain proof of postage, we advise using a tracked and insured service for your peace of mind.
-
Before handing over your package to the courier, photograph the wrapped item. This serves as evidence in case of disputes or if your return is damaged during transit.
-
Address courier-related disputes directly with the service provider, not with Rug Love.

Recommended Couriers
-
While we offer a few courier suggestions based on rug size, please note these are mere recommendations and not endorsements.
-
Small Rugs and Runners (up to 120cm): Use Parcel2Go with Courier Evri or DX.
-
Large Rugs (160cm and above): TransGlobal Express is suitable, with DHL often being the most economical choice.
Exchanges
-
If you need to exchange an item due to a sizing issue or if you would like a different rug, please use our automated returns portal at https://www.ruglove.co.uk/a/returns. Select the exchange option, then choose the correct size you wish to replace it with, or specify the new rug you would like in the text box.
-
We will only send the replacement after we have received the original item back. This policy is in place because we've experienced issues with items not being returned by customers. If you'd prefer not to wait for the replacement rug through our exchange process, we recommend re-ordering the correct-sized rug or new product and then requesting a refund for the original one.
-
Once we receive the rug you wish to exchange, we will process and send you a new order. We will adjust the price accordingly and either refund the difference or issue a new invoice for any additional amount owed.
Manufacturer Collections
-
In the unlikely event you receive a faulty item, manufacturer-arranged collections are all-day appointments without specific time slots. No weekend collections are offered. Specify your preferred collection date when arranging. For exchanges, note that collection of larger rugs (160 x 230cm and above) necessitates a printed label. If you need to exchange an item due to a sizing issue, we will send the replacement only after we have received the original item. This policy is in place because we've experienced issues with items not being returned by customers. Note that couriers aren't equipped to collect the original item during the new one's delivery. All of our couriers are unable to make advance phone calls before collecting an item. If our exchange process is unsuitable, consider purchasing from a brick-and-mortar store. Please note that all our manufacturers and suppliers operate from Monday to Friday, between 9:00 AM and 5:00 PM, and remain closed on weekends. Exchanges: Note that couriers aren't equipped to collect the original item during the new one's delivery. All defective product claims will be addressed by having the manufacturer collect the rug for detailed inspection. This process can take up to 5 working days for us to receive their verdict then arrange logistics.
-
Kindly note that any collections coordinated by the manufacturer for defective items are set for the whole day; specific timing cannot be guaranteed, and weekend collections aren't available. While we strive to deliver perfection, mishaps can occur. As an exclusive online retailer, Rug Love addresses such concerns through courier services, necessitating someone's presence at home during the collection day. If this poses a challenge, we recommend choosing a retailer with a physical storefront for easier returns. Please factor this into your decision-making prior to making a purchase.
Proper Rug Packaging Guide
- Ensure that the rug is entirely covered, sealing both ends firmly using robust packaging tape or cable ties. Avoid masking tape or standard sellotape.
- The rug should be free from external elements like dirt, moisture, and odors and must be returned in a pristine, resaleable state.
- Rely on strong packaging materials. Avoid using flimsy bags or paper, as they can tear during transit. Rugs received in compromised conditions due to inadequate packaging will not qualify for refunds.
- Should you need extra packaging material, please contact us.
- Important: Damaged or soiled rugs aren't eligible for refunds. In such instances, claims should be raised with the respective courier. We will provide photographic evidence of the rug's condition upon its arrival to support your claim.
Responsibility
-
Keep proof of postage until the return is confirmed. Before handing your rug to the courier, photograph it as packaged. This helps if you must address any issues with the courier. We also photograph all returns for our records. Disputes involving couriers should be resolved directly with them. We advise using a tracked and insured service for your peace of mind.
-
Remember, always double-check return policies and guidelines before purchasing.
Booking Your Return
-
IMPORTANT: If you're uncertain about the dimensions or weight for your return package, please reach out to us before scheduling your courier. If you inaccurately report the package size or weight, the courier may charge additional fees, for which Rug Love will not be accountable. When packaging your return, ensure that the rug and its packaging don't exceed the reported size. For instance, if you've specified a parcel length of 160cm, the packaged rug should not surpass this length. To account for packaging, we recommend adding 5cm to your rug's length when booking with the courier.
-
To facilitate your return booking, ensure you provide accurate dimensions (Length, Width, Height) of your packaged rug. Should you be uncertain about the weight or dimensions, please consult with us before finalizing your courier booking. Undeclared or incorrect dimensions might attract surcharges, for which Rug Love cannot be held responsible. Ensure that the packaged item's length aligns with the length mentioned while booking the courier. The examples above are general, each rug will vary, Undeclared or incorrect dimensions might attract surcharges, for which Rug Love cannot be held responsible.
-
When scheduling your courier, please use the rug's rolled dimensions. Below are some general examples to guide you. Keep in mind these are general estimations; individual rugs may vary in size and weight. Add around 5 cm to the length when booking a courier to account for packaging. These suggestions are based on typical measurements, but each rug may vary. Ensure you measure accurately before booking.

Note: For returns of large rugs, typically sizes 200 x 290cm and above, it's imperative to measure accurately. The example above serves as a general guideline, but each rug's dimensions may vary. Please ensure precise measurement to avoid surcharges. When booking, factor in an additional 5 cm to the length for packaging. If you have any questions or need assistance, please reach out before finalizing your courier arrangement. Rug Love cannot be held responsible if customers decide to disregard our return instructions and opt for more costly alternative services that differ from our recommendations.
WHEN CAN I EXPECT MY REFUND?
-
Upon receiving your return, we'll conduct an inspection and then send you an email confirmation. You'll first receive an email acknowledging the receipt of your rug, followed by another indicating the status of your refund. Please give us up to 48 hours after the rug's arrival to inspect and finalize your return before inquiring about the refund status.
-
The refunded amount will be credited to your initial payment method. Depending on your bank's processing time, the refund may take 3-5 working days to reflect in your account. Understandably, the exact duration, like all retailers, is beyond our control and varies by bank. Rest assured, once you get our refund confirmation email, the refund has been initiated on our end. If you made your payment through Klarna/Clearpay, please verify your account with them to check the refund status.
SELECTING THE RIGHT SIZE
Ensuring the appropriate rug size for your space is crucial. We cannot stress highly enough the importance of taking the time to measure your intended area before finalizing your order. If you realize you've chosen the wrong size, contact us immediately; we'll do our best to halt the order before dispatch. If the order has already been shipped, simply refer to our return guidelines.
Taking a couple of minutes now to measure can save you both time and the potential cost of returning an unsuitable item. Given the notable size difference among the three primary rug sizes, one will likely be more fitting for your needs. When considering particularly small rugs, like the 080 x 150cm, be mindful that they might appear smaller than anticipated. If you find you need to exchange for size reasons, a useful method is to lay newspaper on the floor, adjusting it to your desired dimensions, then measuring that space. This will give you a better visual and help you choose the closest size available.
The three most popular sizes are 120 x 170cm, 160 x 230 cm, and 200 x 290 cm. Given the significant variance between these, one will probably be the most apt fit for your space. While we strive for precision in our measurements, please understand that slight variations can occur. These discrepancies, which can be up to 4%, stem from manufacturing nuances and the process of rolling up the rugs—a norm in the industry. Hand-made rugs, in particular, may have unique dimensions as each piece is crafted individually.
If you'd rather not wait for the replacement rug through our exchange process, we recommend re-ordering the correct-sized rug and then requesting a refund for the original one.
RUG FOLDS AND CREASES
When you first unfurl your rug, you might observe lines or fold marks across its breadth. This is a result of the rug's packaging and storage methods, where the weight of a tightly rolled rug can lead to these temporary indentations. Certain rugs might have a single mark near an edge, while others, especially our more cost-effective polypropylene rugs, might display multiple lines. Fear not, as these markings are temporary and will diminish over time with regular usage and vacuuming. In cooler storage environments, the rug's backing might stiffen, leading to these temporary markings. However, after a few days in a warmer setting, the rug's backing becomes more pliable, causing the marks to vanish.
FLATTENING YOUR NEW RUG
When we store our rugs, they're rolled up and protected with plastic wrap to maintain their pristine condition. Given the weight when these rugs are stacked, they might appear slightly flattened upon unrolling. A good analogy is comparing it to a newly purchased shirt or set of curtains: they have creases when fresh out of the packaging. While clothes can be ironed to smoothness quickly, rugs require a bit more patience.
For instance, the tassels on our Boho rugs might take a while to settle. The issue is more noticeable with larger rugs since their weight is greater when stacked. This isn't a defect but a temporary phase until the rug adjusts to its new environment. Rugs with rigid backings, in particular, need time to acclimate to a warm setting and fully unroll.
To expedite this settling process, try rolling your rug the opposite way it came packaged (with the pile facing out). Roll it as tightly as possible and let it rest in a warm spot, perhaps near a heater, for several days. Over time, your rug will naturally lay flatter. Depending on the rug type, this can vary from a few days to several weeks.

Eliminating New Rug Odor
When you find the ideal rug and unfurl it, a strong aroma might hit you. This isn't typical for all rugs but isn't rare either. This scent, commonly linked to the rug's material, is termed "off-gassing" and isn't due to production flaws. Most often, it diminishes within five days.
Note: Always adhere to your rug manufacturer’s cleaning guidelines.
Understanding New Rug Smell
Why do rugs emit an odor?
The scent arises from the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) used during rug manufacture. Although the term sounds alarming, VOCs are common in household items, from paints to floorings. Rugs generally have fewer VOCs than other furnishings. These compounds result in the characteristic smell, especially in synthetic rugs. However, even natural rugs like seagrass can emit a strong initial scent. While not harmful, some might find the odor irritating or allergenic.
What contributes to the smell?
- Manufacturing techniques.
- Material type.
- Packaging methods.
- Protective treatments, like flame-retardants.
How can I neutralize my rug's smell?
Most rugs will lose their scent over time, especially if kept in a ventilated area for about 72 hours. Speed up the process by:
- Increasing room temperature.
- Airing out the room.
- Vacuuming the rug frequently during the initial days.
Addressing Specific Rug Types
Synthetic Rugs:
- Odor Source: VOCs are more pronounced in synthetic materials like polypropylene. Synthetic latex backing is especially VOC-rich.
- Mitigation: Use HEPA filter-equipped vacuums, air out the rug outdoors, or use cross-ventilation indoors.
Natural Rugs:
- Odor Source: Woolen rugs can have a musty scent due to their animal origin. Other natural rugs might have a straw-like aroma.
- Mitigation: Use carpet deodorizers, consider machine washing or dry-cleaning (for sheepskin), or use rug pads to tackle humidity-induced mustiness.
Duration of Off-Gassing
While off-gassing might persist for up to five days, it usually subsides within two days post-installation. Proper ventilation can expedite the process. Some remedies include airing the rug outside, letting it hang in sunlight, or using natural deodorizers like baking soda.
Remember, the odor's nature often reflects the rug's material, so always approach odor removal with a method appropriate to your rug type.
