If I could give zero stars I would

If I could give zero stars I would. My elderly mother treated herself to a rug to find a totally different colour rug delivered. The customer service have been absoletely disgraceful.
The colour on the website was brown but she recieved a grey and all they did was tut on the phone at my daughter, HOW RUDE.
This rug is nothing like the advertisement and as he told my daughter her phone must show a different colour, funny mine shows the same.
WE WILL BE TAKING THIS FURTHER
AVOID THIS COMPANY AT ALL COSTS

No customer service

My elderly grandmother recently bought what she thought was a Brown rug online as the photos shown were brown but once it wad delivered the colour was a light grey.

After contacting the company multiple times via email we are struggling to send this item back without having to pay a return fee of 30 pounds and arranging all of this with a delivery company. ( therugshopuk don't handle the return at all)

I have been told on the phone tonight that it may be my phone screen making the rug look brown online and that photos can be deceiving and that actually when they show a brown rug they do mean grey.

The man was rude constantly talking over me or just putting me on mute expecting me to put the phone down.

All in all there is no customer service just one guy called harsh answering the phones and emails.

Not holding my breath for a refund or a call back as requested.

Will be emailing trading standards if nothing is done as well as reporting them for having no vulnerability policy.

Edit - even after this review and multiple calls advising them to call ME back they called my Grandmother AGAIN who obviously didn't answer.

Rug has been sent back at a cost no service what so ever

Offer Declined

I purchased a very expensive rug from therugshopuk, which I am very happy with. However, I could have bought exactly the same rug elsewhere (eg John Lewis) at the same price. The reason I chose therugshopuk is that they were offering 10% cashback through topcashback.co.uk. They then declined to honour their offer, on the basis that the order had been cancelled, even though the rug is sitting in my lounge. They, or their agent, have continued to refuse to honour the offer despite repeated attempts to challenge this. Buyer beware!

Update - following the response from the retailer, I provided all of the details asked for to enable them to track the order. They didn’t even bother to acknowledge or respond to the communication and needless to say they have not rectified the issue.

Terrific levels of service (despite our initial mistake).

Despite our pathetic inability to measure our lounge correctly, which resulted in having to exchange rugs, Sam and his team were patient, very professional and extremely helpful throughout the entire process.
Along with the high level of service and attractive prices they're just very pleasant people to deal with. Would highly recommend!

Living Treasure circular Rug

I ordered a Living Treasure circular rug, order number
#2000068044 just after Christmas. It was an expensive rug but cheaper than other sites. I was apprehensive ordering on line when paying so much but I needn’t have worried. The rug is absolute beautiful, beautiful quality and colours. The customer service was very good and delivery took just over a week. I found this impressive as it was the New Year holiday. I would definitely recommend The Rug Shop UK and, I wouldn’t hesitate to order from them again. Thank you

Rug arrived damaged

Rug arrived damaged, very cheap quality, said I would have to pay £40 to return. Never got refund had to raise a dispute with PayPal.

Edited 10/05/24
If you refunded me the next day then why did I need to get PayPal involved. You was messaging me please cancel PayPal dispute.

Be carful how you pay people because I would have had to keep damaged rug or pay the £40 return it to them for them to say it was my fault.

Only got refund because PayPal got involved.

Holland

My rug was being despatched from Belgium and 'went missing' which was very regrettable the first time round - I hope they find out how. Sam arranged for a replacement and promised to get it to me before Christmas despite a tight window and he was true to his word. Lovely rug and well worth the wait.

Do not buy of this firm terrible customer service.

I purchased an expensive rug from this company. I couldn't open for 4 weeks and when I did the rug was badly damaged. I got in touch and was originally told they would replace the rug, then I received another e mail to say the firm they bought off would not replace it. They have been unhelpful and are not abiding by my customer rights. I will be taking legal action if I have not received any satisfaction within 14 days. Do not buy off this company I am out nearly £400. If there is a problem don't think they will sort it, they don't seem to care. Your reply is totally false I had not used the rug at all it was in its original packing due to delay in finishing the kitchen. The damage is extensive either fire damage or water damage. It was on the inside of the rug so whoever had packed it would have certainly known. I wasn't returning the rug for any other reason other than it was badly damage. I do have rights as a customer for damaged goods. As you know this is now an ongoing court case.

Hi Moira, as discussed with you several times, you have used the item for than 40 days and then want to return the item which is not possible, as our return policy is already for only 30 days, we even requested you to please check the item at the time of receiving the goods.

Kind regards
