Damages and Issues
Please inspect your order upon delivery and contact us immediately if the rug is defective, damaged, or if you receive the wrong item, so that we can evaluate the issue and make it right. Claims for defective or damaged items must be reported within 7 days of delivery with photographic evidence.
Rug-Specific Return Conditions
Your rug must meet these conditions for return eligibility:
- Same condition as received - no stains, pet odors, or damage beyond normal inspection
- Minimal use - rugs showing signs of use beyond careful inspection are not eligible
- Original packaging - returned in protective wrapping or rolled condition when possible
- Natural vintage characteristics - the following are inherent features of authentic vintage rugs and are NOT considered defects or grounds for return:
- Natural color fading or variation due to age and sunlight exposure
- Minor wear patterns from previous use
- Slight color differences between different areas of the rug
- Small repairs or reweaving that are part of the rug's history
- Natural patina and aging that gives vintage rugs their character
- Slight irregularities in shape or edges typical of hand-woven rugs
- Natural variations in pile height due to age and use
- Photography and color representation - all product photos are taken in studio conditions with artificial lighting. Minor color variations between the photographed rug and the actual rug you receive are normal and not grounds for return. We recommend viewing the rug in different lighting conditions in your home before making a return decision.
Exceptions / Non-Returnable Items
Certain types of items cannot be returned:
- Custom-sized rugs or specially ordered items
- Personalized rugs with custom patterns or monograms
- Rugs damaged by customer - including stains, cuts, burns, or pet damage
- Final sale items - clearly marked as such (Note: We currently have no final sale items as per our return rules)
- Rugs returned after 30 days from delivery date
Exchanges
The fastest way to ensure you get what you want is to return the rug you have, and once the return is accepted, make a separate purchase for the new item.
European Union 14-Day Cooling Off Period
If the merchandise is being shipped to the European Union, you have the right to cancel or return your order within 14 days, for any reason and without justification. The same condition requirements apply as stated above.
Refunds
We will notify you once we've received and inspected your return, and let you know if the refund was approved or not.

- Standard returns: 10 business days after inspection
Please remember it can take additional time for your bank or credit card company to process and post the refund. If more than 15 business days have passed since we've approved your return, please contact us at info@rugreform.com.
