Estimated Shipping & Delivery Times

• Estimated lead times are shown on each product page. These are estimates and may vary based on product availability and manufacturer timelines.
• Most custom rugs ship within 3–4 weeks. Transit typically takes 3–7 business days, and we’ll send tracking details once your order leaves the workshop.
• Our Designer Rugs are shipped within two business days of your order and will typically arrive within 5 business days.
• Items in the same order may ship separately.
• We currently ship to street addresses within the continental United States (no P.O. Boxes or APO/FPO at this time).
• If an item is out of stock or on backorder, we’ll contact you with an updated ship date.

• Shipping Costs vary depending on the size of the rug ordered and the way you choose to ship. Our designer rugs can be shipped on a pole can be unrolled and instantly lay flat on the floor; they can also be baled, these often need to be stretched, or steamed to flatten out the wrinkles and creases.
  Example costs: 5x7 rugs start at $110 ; 5x8 baled $150, rolled $250; 12x15 baled $235, rolled $375.
