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..
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.
- Do you offer discounts to the Trade?
- Yes. We offer trade discounts on both standard and custom orders. Click here to learn more about our membership benefits and submit an application. To protect the interests of our trade partners, we will not disclose their special pricing to anyone yet to have been approved for membership.
- Do you give special discounts to non-profits?
- Yes. We support good causes that invest in health, education, justice and peace. Qualified organizations will receive a 10% discount off any standard or custom orders. Please request an Organization Qualification Form by emailing sales@modernrugs.com.
- How long will it take to receive my order?
Most orders are received by the customer within business 5-10 days. If the rug you ordered is not in stock, we will contact you with the expected delivery date. We encourage customers to check stock availability through us before placing orders. For a courtesy stock check, contact our Customer Service Department. Call toll-free 800-830-7847 between 10:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. Eastern time, Monday through Friday, or send an e-mail to: status@modernrugs.com. Items marked as "made to order" require a lead time. Lead times posted in the product description are approximate and do not guarantee the delivery date of a rug.
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.
- How long will it take for a backordered item to arrive?
- Backordered items are those that our suppliers currently do not have availability of. Although there is nothing we can do to change the backordered status of an item, we will do our best to inform you of an anticipated shipping date.
- How much does shipping cost?
We offer free domestic shipping on stocked items up to size 8' x 10' (excludes oversized items) that will ship to the contiguous 48 states (excludes Hawaii and Alaska). Custom orders do not apply. For all other locations (including international), obtain your shipping rate by entering the required information at our checkout page and then proceed to the following "Order Summary" page.

- How will my order be delivered?
- We ship most products from one of our US warehouses via UPS ground service. In some cases, we ship direct from our manufacturers overseas.
- How do I properly receive an oversized rug?
- Please be advised that the delivery driver is only required to deliver the item "curbside" at the end of your driveway. Some drivers are willing to do more, but to be safe, if you require assistance to get the rug inside your home, please arrange for it prior to the item's arrival.

To calculate your international shipping rate, enter the required information at our checkout page and then proceed to the following "Order Summary" page.
