Vintage is so on trend, and these rugs will make a statement in any room, the subtle pattern is elegant and works well in a traditional or contemporary setting.
Our handmade viscose rugs are made by hand, and each one is unique, with imperfections known as 'Abrash,' encompassing natural variations in colour, design, size, pattern, yarn, stitching, and texture. These imperfections, including loose threads, mixed colour yarns, and natural fibre loss, these give each rug character and uniqueness. Loose stray fibres can simply be cut with scissors, avoid pulling fibres, as it can damage the weave. Shedding is normal and expected in all wool rugs, not a manufacturing fault. It is a natural feature that doesn't affect the rug's durability – it won’t wear out; some will shed for the lifetime of the rug. Synthetic latex backing may cause a temporary chemical smell in new rugs, which fades over time. Wool rugs may have a natural, musty scent due to their animal fibre composition. If you prefer uniformity and perfection, consider machine-made rugs with synthetic materials for a consistent look. 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 centre to ensure you're informed before making a purchase.

Shipping Locations: We ship exclusively to mainland UK and the Scottish Highlands.

Additionally, managing returns and faulty items, especially larger ones, posed a cost-effective challenge.

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.

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.
Signature: 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.

If you choose to accept a damaged item, immediately note any damage to the courier and specify the noted damage when signing for the item to ensure there is a written record. It is important to note that signing without specifying any issues means acknowledging the item was received in good condition, forfeiting the right to request a refund or compensation. Our rugs should arrive fully sealed to prevent soiling, and any deviations are typically due to courier mishandling. Informing the driver about the damage ensures a written record, making it easier to file a claim. We generally do not offer discounts for damaged items; instead, we prefer the damaged item to be rejected so we can send a replacement. However, if you prefer to keep the damaged item and receive a discount, it is crucial to report the damage to the courier, enabling us to file a claim and pass any compensation received to you. Please submit any damaged claims via our returns portall. Following these guidelines helps us address issues swiftly and efficiently and provides recourse with 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.

This will trigger an instant, full refund. 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. 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. However, these estimated arrival dates can sometimes change due to factors outside our control. Remember, the date we provide is when we anticipate the rug arriving back in stock, not the day it'll arrive at your doorstep. We consistently provide the most current date available to us. Occasionally, this date might even be in the past, indicating the latest information in our possession.
Multiple Items: If you've ordered multiple rugs, they will be dispatched separately. Check your order confirmation to see the dispatch status of each item.

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.
Deliveries to Apartments/Flats: 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.

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 hand made 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 fiber 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 fiber rug unique. In essence, all-natural grass fiber 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. 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. Our Wool and Shaggy Rug Shedding disclaimer can be found in our help center, every product page, every email we send you (including the order confirmation email), the return portal, the chatbot, and the homepage footer. We always emphasize in our product descriptions for shaggy and wool rugs that are prone to shedding. We encourage customers to take this into account before making a purchase, If these characteristics are likely to cause you frustration we advise purchasing a different type of rug that is non-shedding. Our Hand-Made/Jute/Sisal Rugs Disclaimer can be found in our help center, every product page, every email we send you (including order confirmation email), the return portal, the chatbot, and the homepage footer. We always emphasize in our product descriptions rugs that are hand-made and will have imperfections. We encourage customers to take this into account before making a purchase, If these characteristics are likely to cause you frustration we advise purchasing a machine-made product. 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 colour, 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
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. Here's what you need to know about shedding: 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.
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. 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. 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
PRODUCT COLOR & DESIGN DISCLAIMER
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. Please be aware that our rug visualizer is intended for reference purposes only. While we strive for accuracy, we cannot guarantee that the colour 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
Accuracy of Product Images: The images of our products, provided by manufacturers, are universally used by rug stores across the UK. There's a level of subjectivity in colour interpretation, and device screens can portray colours differently due to varying settings and lighting conditions. 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. Informed Decisions: We surpass most rug stores in the detailed specifications we provide— from pile height to material composition. Our augmented reality Rug visualizer, the 1st in the industry, allows you to visualize our products in your space, aiding your selection process. The 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. If you are aiming for an exact shade or trying to match existing décor, we recommend seeing the rug in person. In-Person vs. Online: While we've made every effort to represent our products authentically, there's a different experience to seeing a product firsthand. If you have very specific requirements, visiting a rug store in person might be the best approach. User-Generated Content: To offer a real-life perspective, Within the industry, we were the first to incorporate the inclusion of in-situ content from Instagram and our influencers, providing you with a genuine glimpse of the product we have incorporated in-situ user-generated content for many of our products. This provides a more tangible feel for what to expect. Returns Policy: Should you wish to return a product due to colour discrepancies (barring manufacturing faults), please refer to our standard returns policy. A full refund will be provided as per the policy guidelines. If you find any aspect of our disclaimer unsatisfactory, we kindly suggest opting for in-store purchases. It's our priority to set clear expectations to ensure a satisfying shopping experience. Always remember to review our colour and design disclaimer prior to making a purchase.
Return Shipping Responsibility & Guidance
Customers bear the responsibility for return shipping fees. This policy is consistent with all online rug retailers we are aware of, wherein the customer covers the return cost. Estimated Return Costs:
Small Rugs & Runners up to 120cm in length: Approximately £6
Small Rugs up to 125cm in length: Approximately £9-12
Large Rugs from length 160cm up to 199cm in length: Approximately £18-£28, contingent on rug thickness and weight. (For comparison, Wayfair charges between £20-£50 for large rugs.) Most large rugs, ranging from 160cm up to 199cm in length, can generally be sent back via DHL at an estimated cost of £18, except for very plush/thick types of rugs which can take it to £28.
Extra Large Rugs size 200 x 290cm and Super Plush/Thick Heavy Shaggy Rugs (like Montana, Plush, Barnaby & Plush Moroccan Shaggy Rugs) + Oversized Rugs size 240cm and above: Circa £28-£48 via DHL.
Please note that 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. Our Transparency Commitment: 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.
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.
For any questions or if you feel something has been overlooked please don't hesitate to contact us at hello@ruglove.co.uk. We promise to address all inquiries within 3 hours during business hours. 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 and make no attempt to contact us regarding any uncertainties.
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.
COLLECTIONS & EXCHANGES
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 for generating the courier label in case you need to make a return or exchange. Please keep this in mind before placing your order, especially if you don't have access to a printer.
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. 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.
PRODUCT RETURN POLICY FOR DEFECTS
Before submitting a faulty claim, please take a moment to review the disclaimers in your order confirmation email. This includes notes on hand-made/jute sisal characteristics, variations in colour/image/design, and information about wool/shaggy rug shedding. Should you receive a rug with defects or damages, it's imperative to inform us immediately upon receipt. If feasible, kindly bring this to the attention of the delivery personnel. To expedite the claims process, upload clear pictures demonstrating the defect or damage to our return center portal.
If you are submitting a request regarding a defective item, please include the date when the rug can be collected by the manufacturer for inspection. Also, specify whether you would prefer a replacement, or a refund should the claim of defectiveness be approved. Please note that items from unsuccessful claims will be returned to the customer.
Additionally, please indicate your desired day/date in the comments section for the product pick-up by the manufacturer. 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 It's crucial to communicate any manufacturing defects to us within 3 days of receiving the item. Beyond this period, the consideration of faulty claims becomes discretionary. 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. Any failure to report defects promptly cannot be attributed to Rug Love. All decisions made by the manufacturer regarding defects are conclusive. Typically, we anticipate our products to have a lifespan of at least 6 months. However, this isn't a promise of replacement or reimbursement. Post 30 days from the purchase, your entitlement is to a repair or replacement, and after 6 months, replacements or refunds are only possible if it's proven that the rug was defective at the time of purchase. 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. If the rug is not deemed defective, it will be returned to you. If the defect is confirmed, a replacement will be dispatched. The manufacturer's determination in such matters is binding. 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.

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. 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. Under the Sales of Goods Act, if an issue arises within 30 days of purchase, you are legally entitled to a refund. Beyond this initial period, you maintain the right to request a replacement or repair, but a refund is not obligatory. After the passage of 6 months, we are not legally obligated to provide a replacement, repair or refund unless the customer can substantiate that the item was faulty upon arrival. We operate under the assumption that the item was received and signed for in good condition unless informed otherwise. Understandably we cannot determine how the rug has been treated or whether the care guidelines were adhered to. 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.

Damaged In Transit
All of our products are shipped using a signed-for service. If you receive a damaged rug or notice any damage to the packaging during delivery, it is recommended to reject the delivery, inform the courier, and refuse the item, marking it as return to sender. This approach allows us to send you a new rug or issue a refund. If you choose to accept a damaged item, immediately note any damage to the courier and specify the noted damage when signing for the item to ensure there is a written record. It is important to note that signing without specifying any issues means acknowledging the item was received in good condition, forfeiting the right to request a refund or compensation. Our rugs should arrive fully sealed to prevent soiling, and any deviations are typically due to courier mishandling. Informing the driver about the damage ensures a written record, making it easier to file a claim. We generally do not offer discounts for damaged items; instead, we prefer the damaged item to be rejected so we can send a replacement. However, if you prefer to keep the damaged item and receive a discount, it is crucial to report the damage to the courier, enabling us to file a claim and pass any compensation received to you. Please submit any damaged claims via our returns portal: Rug Love Returns Portal. Following these guidelines helps us address issues swiftly and efficiently and provides recourse with 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.
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.
SELECTING THE RIGHT SIZE
Ensuring the appropriate rug size for your space is crucial. We cannot stress highly enough the importance 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.
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.
