Returns

We seldom have returns. As a rule, our clientele is much happier once they see the product in person. It is above and beyond their expectations.

If for any reason you would like to return a product purchased on modernrugs.com, we will gladly provide a refund for items returned in their original, unused condition within 30 days of receipt*. A 15% restocking fee applies for all approved return products. Should a customer refuse the delivery of a package, without any visable damage or defect, it is considered a return. Thus, the cost of return shipping will be deducted from the total refund, plus a 15% restock fee.

All returns must have a RA# before they are returned. You may request return authorization by sending an email to returns@modernrugs.com or you may call us direct at 1-800-830-RUGS extension 2. Once you have been given the return authorization number, you must clearly write it on the outside of the package in permanent marker and send the rug back to our warehouse. Rugs returned without a return authorization number will be refused at the warehouse and sent back to sender.

Customer is responsible for all return shipping charges. Credit will be issued once an item is returned and passes inspection. Please note this can take up to 4 weeks depending details of the return. After shipping the item please email returns@modernrugs.com with the return tracking number. This will help to process your return in a more efficient manner and expedite your refund.

Please note that any flaws, defects, or damages to the packaging of all items, whether in stock or custom residential or commercial rugs ordered through our site, must be reported within five days of reception. The report should include detailed photographs and a comprehensive description of the issue, and must be submitted to our customer service team. Upon submission, customers will receive a confirmation from ModernRugs.com acknowledging the receipt of the complaint. Failure to inspect and report any such issues within the specified five-day window will result in the customer's assumption of all responsibility for the item. This policy applies to all purchases from ModernRugs.com.

Do not return items to the ship from address, many items are shipped factory direct from the manufacturer and they will not issue a credit if you simply send the item back to them, the manufacturer will refuse the item if they have not issued a return authorization for that specific package. Doing so may result in delayed or even forfeited refund.

Note: All sales are final for custom-made residential, hospitality, or commercial rugs and any products marked as such in the description. Custom Orders are not returnable. Custom orders include custom area rugs, custom hall runners, custom stair runners, or any other item that is not listed as a readily available size or model on our website, whether for commercial, residential, or hospitality purposes.

Discounts will not be provided after a purchase is made. This includes, but is not limited to, custom made items which require a lead time, as well as items on Back Order Status.

* Note: Rug making is an art. Our custom rugs are made by very skilled artisans and are all made by hand, as such they are subject to minor irregularities. Slight variations in size, texture, and color are common and considered acceptable. Some rugs with complex designs and non-standard colors and gradients may take longer to complete. Once the process of loom construction, and wool dyeing has been started, WE CANNOT ACCEPT ANY CANCELLATIONS OR ISSUE REFUNDS.


Store Credit

Store credit is issued for eligible returns as determined by our return policy. The value of the store credit equals the purchase price of the returned item(s) minus a 15% restocking fee.

Store credit is valid for 24 months from the date of issue. After this period, the credit may be subject to expiration or revocation at our sole discretion, regardless of any prior communication.

Store credit can be used towards future purchases on our website. It cannot be redeemed for cash or combined with other offers or promotions.

Items purchased with store credit are subject to the same terms and conditions as regular purchases, including return policies and restocking fees.

We reserve the right to modify these terms and conditions at any time without prior notice.

At ModernRugs.com, we make every effort to stock all collections in order to minimize wait time. However, due to high demand of certain collections, an item may be sold out. In that unlikely event, you will receive a notification as to its availability and its estimated date of arrival.

* Note on Custom Orders: We do our best to comply and adhere to the time schedule that was given to you during your initial order. We typically deliver custom rug orders ahead of schedule. However, there are conditions that are out of our control that may cause an unforeseen delay. We will of course communicate this with you as soon as we are informed of any changes in lead time.


Partial Shipments

We attempt to always ship orders complete. In the event items are in stock at different warehouses, partial shipments will be sent. If you have any questions about a shipment, you may send an email to orders@ModernRugs.com or call 1-800-830-RUGS x2.


Cancellations

If you would like to cancel an order, please notify us immediately by phone at 1-800-830-RUGS. Orders or parts of orders may be cancelled without incurring fees before they are shipped. Once shipped, an item follows our return policy rules.

Custom orders are in no way returnable nor can they be canceled. When you place an order for a custom rug you should be 100% sure that you will be happy with the purchase. If you have any reservations about having a custom rug order made, please call or participate in our sample program. You can receive yarns and color poms to demonstrate the exact texture and color of the rug. Our design team can also make renderings for a small fee.


Freight Damage

Items damaged in transit are covered by the freight carrier. Should any shipping damage be noticed at the time of delivery either refuse the delivery or make the carrier leave a damage receipt with you. Should you notice shipping damage after delivery, keep all packing materials with the item and notify customer service immediately so that a claim may be filed and a replacement shipped. Procedures for freight damage claims vary from carrier to carrier though whenever possible, ModernRugs.com will assist with freight damage claims.


Damaged Items

Items damaged in transit are the responsibility of the freight carrier. This includes damage to the rug itself, as well as water damage, mold, or any other common type of freight damage.

  • At Delivery: If you notice any damage when your rug is delivered, either refuse the delivery or ask the carrier to provide a damage receipt.
  • After Delivery: If you find damage after the delivery has been made, keep all the original packing materials and contact our customer service team immediately. We'll guide you through the claims process and arrange for a replacement.

Important: You must report any freight damage within 48 business hours of receiving the item. Damage claims submitted after this time will not be accepted.


Freight Damage Claims

The specific procedures for filing a freight damage claim can vary depending on the carrier. ModernRugs.com will do our best to assist you with the claims process whenever possible.


Defective Items

Any merchandise with a manufacturers defect will be exchanged at no additional cost to you. We must be notified within 5 business days of receipt of defective merchandise. In most cases a call tag will be issued and the original carrier will pick up the defective merchandise at our expense. A return authorization number and the return shipping address must be obtained prior to shipping the item back.

Because of the hand-made nature of the majority of rugs on our site, items that fall within 5% of advertised dimension(s) will not be considered defective and follow our standard return policy.

We do our best to represent color accurately. Nearly all items have high-resolution images with normal lighting so that you can make an informed decision. In spite of this, colors sometimes do vary from one computer monitor to another by a noticeable margin. If you are unsure of the colors of the item, or your project requires very specific colors please call to see if a sample is available prior to ordering. We do not consider color shade variations a defect (except in extreme cases) and the return of the item would follow the terms of our return policy.

Most product photos you see on our site are generally of a medium rectangular size product. Smaller/larger rug sizes or different shapes may look different in reference to patterns due to the change in scale of the area rug. Please take this into consideration before ordering and call 1-800-830-RUGS or email shop@ModernRugs.com if you want assistance in determining how the design will scale.

Many of our rugs are made by hand. This implies that the human touch makes each item a unique piece as a result of being hand crafted. Therefore, slight variations in size or color are not considered defects and have been proven not to affect the quality or life of your rug.

No refunds nor returns of hand-made rugs will be allowed.
