Every Rug has a pile direction. That is the direction in which the fibres of the Rug run. With a cut pile Rug the light is reflected off the fibres in a different manner, making the colour of the Rug appear different—either lighter or darker than the original colour. 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. The following collections are examples of cut pile Rugs that have this effect - Aurora, Craft, Apollo, Florence

Shipping Locations: We ship exclusively to 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.

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.

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.

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 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 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.
