Blush Gatsby Rug

Bought a Blush Gatsby rug in November . It cost £380 . By beginning of December it started to unravel . The rug shop sent it to the distributor who said that it was dirty , smelly and the problem was caused by me .
As a result I am not being given any compensation . The end of the rug has obviously become dirty on transit to the distributor. I am 76 years old and live with my 43 year old daughter . There is absolutely no way that what the distributor says was caused by me in less than a month of having the rug . Very very disappointed as the rug was expensive .

Hi Frances,

Thank you for reaching out to us and sharing your concerns regarding your item. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience you’ve experienced and appreciate the opportunity to address your feedback.

After reviewing your case, we’d like to provide some clarification:

1. The item was delivered to you in a well-wrapped and securely
packed thick polythene bag, ensuring it arrived in good and
clean condition.

2. It has been over 40 days since you received the item, and
unfortunately, the return period for this product has now
expired.

3. Additionally, the current condition of the item indicates
significant use and noticeable dirt, which has led to our supplier
declining to accept it as a return.

We also wanted to understand why no issues were reported immediately upon receiving the item if there were any concerns about its condition. Prompt notification of such matters helps us address and resolve issues more effectively.

We are genuinely sorry that we cannot offer a resolution in this instance. Please know that we value your feedback and remain committed to providing the best possible service in the future. Should you have any further questions or concerns, feel free to reach out.

Thank you for your understanding.

Regards

Would Recommend

Had to wait a few days for the rug which made me nervous as apart from the initial e-mail to tell me that the order was being processed, I didn't hear anything for a few days.

When i got the email to confirm the delivery and tracking details, the rug arrived on time and in fantastic condition. I had seen the same run on the Next website for double the price so couldn't believe my luck when I found it here.

Would definitely buy from them again.

Terrible experience

Terrible experience. Rug arrived, description stated black and white - it was definitely not white but dark beige so it didn't go with rest of decor. However, I was happy to match it with another part of the house, but would need a bigger size, so I emailed them asking effectively to return and upgrade (i.e. paying them more!) rather than a refund and that I'd matched it elsewhere and was happy to return and arrange (and pay!!) for a bigger size instead. Very short defensive response that it was as per description, I would have to return it and it would cost me 25 pounds to return. Not interested in my solution of being happy to arrange, swap and pay for a bigger size (!). Then sent me another curt and defensive email saying I would have to pay the 25 to return before any refund would be processed as it was not their fault. Really disappointed, no interaction or support in resolving this. I obviously did not buy the bigger size and am now out of pocket with zero rug and dreadful customer service. Unpleasant (and odd) experience.

Hi Jo-Anne,

I hope you're doing well and had a wonderful holiday season.

I wanted to personally reach out regarding the issue with your recent order, where you only received one piece instead of the two you had ordered. I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience this has caused.

After looking into the matter, it appears that this was an oversight from our supplier, who unfortunately missed sending one of the items. We understand how frustrating this situation is and we truly regret any inconvenience it may have caused.

Please rest assured that as soon as our supplier reopens after the Christmas and New Year holidays, we will be following up with them to have the missing item shipped to you as quickly as possible. We will keep you updated on the progress and ensure this is resolved promptly.

Once again, I apologize for the error and any inconvenience it may have caused. We value your business and appreciate your understanding during this time. Should you have any further questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out, and we’ll be happy to assist.

Thank you for your patience and support.

Happy with the product

Happy with the product. Fast delivery. However, I never gave them permission to send text messages to me promoting special offers. There is no opt out option and because they haven't taken my personal data seriously, I won't be ordering from them again.

I purchased two Asiatic rugs

I purchased two Asiatic rugs which were delivered within a few days by DX couriers. One of the rugs was dispatched in the wrong colour, a quick call and email with images and the replacement was ordered and a courier arranged to collect the wrong one. All in all pretty good service I would definitely use the website again!

Still spamming my email years after a purchase

Bought a rug which was perfectly fine but they spam your email account even 2 years after you made the purchase.
Time to complain to the ombudsman again.

Edit: I did Unsubscribe 2 years ago yet you still spam accounts.

Related to fraudsters

I ordered a rug which was delivered by APC. All good no issues. Only I'm in a dispute with a company called Home Linen Store. Who produced the delivery verification photo, fraudulently claiming it was their delivery. Now 'How did they get hold of the confirmation?' and 'How did they know I had ordered a rug from another company?' Obviously The Rug Shop UK know more about this than they are saying.

INVOLVED IN FRAUD

The delivery confirmation from this supplier was fraudulently used by a company called Home Linen Store. How they got the confirmation has not been explained to me or the police. A COMPANY INVOLVED IN FRAUD. Maybe you should avoid!

WARNING DO NOT BUY FROM THIS COMPANY

WARNING DO NOT BUY FROM THIS COMPANY
First of all I was sent a rug that was stated as beige/green in the product description. I was so disappointed when there was no beige to be seen. I called their office to be told I would have to pay £21 return fee which I disputed and sent over photos to be told again i would have to pay a £21.99 return fee! The brooklyn rug looks beige/green in the picture and the description states beige/ green. There is NO BEIGE in this rug it is GREY! And if you look on social media you will see loads of customer complaints about the same rug! Fault lay with you for putting the wrong discription on the rug but
I reluctantly agreed to pay the £21 return fee as i didn't want to be left with a rug of no use. Then they had the audacity to add on another fee of £14.99!! A total of £35.99 which is absolutely out of order. NEVER ONCE WAS THIS MENTIONED
Rug cost £131.48 (discount code)
Collection fee £21.99
Shipping Fee £14.99 S
REFUND £95.43!!!
BE WARNED ⚠️ IF YOU BUY A RUG FROM HERE THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS!!

Hi Louise,

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience you may have experienced. As previously mentioned, the rug does feature beige shades intermingled with grey. The beige hues are more prominent, which is why we have highlighted it in both the title and description. We typically sell 4-6 pieces of this item daily and have received minimal complaints from our customers. Additionally, our supplier has confirmed the same color code (beige) for this product.

Regarding the return postage charge of £21, to keep our price very competitive for customers we are unable to absorb return postage charges. This amount reflects the cost of arranging the collection from your location through our courier service, as indicated on the shipping label. The £14 you initially paid was for shipping and is separate from the item cost.

Once again, we apologize for any misunderstanding and appreciate your understanding.

Best regards,
The Rug Shop UK

Would give 0 stars if I could

This is the most ridiculous company I have ever dealt with. Ordered a rug three months ago and they have promised shipment three times but they had an excuse every time they didn’t deliver (e.g. it was lost, it wasn’t in the container etc). I have been told that the money has been refunded but the money isn’t even in my bank. We have waited for several months and now have to look elsewhere for a different product. Avoid like the plague. A complete disgrace.

I ordered 2 rugs order number…

I ordered 2 rugs order number 1000049567 , the delivery toke longer to arrive but I wasn't happy with the quality and wanted to return but they asked for £52 return collection. Very disappointed with them , now I know why Amazon and Ebay are attracting more trust. I had to arrange and pay for the postage myself, I used the ups, same company they had sent my parcel with and I paid under £15 , while the rug company wanted to charge me £52 , instead of co-operation they even wanted to cheat me on that too . Shame on you
