Excellent choice, delivery & quality

I have bought a number of rugs from The Rug Seller for use throughout my home. Always speedy, safe delivery and great quality products. The images online are always an excellent representation of the products themselves including the colours which is a priority for me when matching to other decorative items. They remain my first port of call for any rugs for myself and my clients

The rug is great, but,,,,,,,

While the rug itself is excellent, the overall experience was significantly marred by the subpar performance of DHL, the delivery partner chosen by the rug seller. Their inability to do their job resulted in an extended delivery period of 11 days, greatly diminishing the overall satisfaction with the purchase.

Happy to take your money… doesn’t like refunding.

I ordered an item from the Rug Seller via the internet and paid by PayPal - the order errored when placing and while my money was taken no confirmation was received. I phoned the next day and was told the item was no longer stocked hence the error and that my payment would be refunded. It wasn’t so I contacted again to be sent a poor screenshot of a “refund” page and was told if I had a problem I should contact PayPal. I raised a case but the Rug Seller never responded and eventually I raised the case to a dispute. PayPal refunded me my money eventually. Poor service!! What’s worse is the item I bought (which they don’t have in stock) is still being advertised.

Good Morning Simon,

I can confirm a refund was indeed processed on our behalf. I can see our customer service team provided proof of the refund.

As discussed, once the refund has been processed on our behalf we cannot escalate this matter on your behalf as this will need to be actioned yourself directly with Paypal.

Quality was rubbish

Quality of the rig purchased was absolutely rubbish. I not sure how they make the other types of rugs but the general shaggy rug I bought was like stepping on straw.

RETURNS: I will advise that you certainly make sure you send your rug back recorded delivery. I sent mine back and heard nothing for nearly two weeks. When I emailed they told me nothing was received and do I have the tracking number. I checked my tracking and it was received a week ago :/ I’m not sure how they process returns but it seems they didn’t check mine in correctly.

UPDATE: The response from the Rug seller on Trust Pilot stated that my order number did not exist, however, it is the same order number I gave to them when I emailed them at which they responded to once they saw this review.

Funny that… very odd

Faulty Rug Seller didn't want to know

Paid nearly £500 for a rug after a while it's showing two distinct lines across the width. Having complained they did not want to know and told us not to send it back. The same rug is now just over £300 and they didn't even offer us the difference more or less said we should have waited for the sale. Rubbish company importing cheap goods

Good Morning,

I can see the item you have purchased has been within your posession for over 6 months.

You become the owner of the goods you have ordered when they have been delivered to you. Once goods have been delivered to you they will be held at your own risk and we will not be liable for their loss or destruction.

Advertising items that they do not have and taking money for them

Purchased items on this website before Christmas. After three weeks, I had heard nothing so I contacted them. They told me the items were out of stock and would I like a refund!? Of course I would like a refund but why haven’t they contacted me, I got my refund.

To give them the benefits of the doubt I re-ordered items a few weeks ago, once again, I have heard nothing. I would not use this company again, they advertise things that they do not have in stock and they take money for them. They do not contact you to let you know what is happening. Therefore if you did not contact them you would not get a refund, as of yet I have had no refund and also no items.

Good Morning Sharon,

Thank you for your feedback.

I can see the original order was placed on the 14th November, on the 17th November a member of our team contacted you stating one of the items purchased was no longer available.

The second order we received from yourself was placed on the 25th December and was delivered 28th December.

Very disappointed with the quality of the rugs. They are more like blankets. Also they won’t settle down and keep puckering up.

Hi Jim,

Thank you for your feedback.

The design you kindly purchased has a pile height of 3mm approxiamtely.

Some times due to the temperatures that the rugs have been stored in they can develop ridges/curled edges and this is not something which is uncommon. Overtime the rugs will adjust to the temperature in your house and the backing of the rug will become relaxed which will allow the rugs to lie flat on your flooring. You can back roll your rug which can sometimes help speed up this process.

Kind Regards
