2.2 Our acceptance of an order takes place when we dispatch the order. We will send you a dispatch confirmation by email.

This covers all situations, regardless of whether the swap is a simple exchange of style or size, or whether we are rectifying an error. An exchange will usually take 4-5 working days in total, but is not limited to this time-frame dependent upon individual circumstances.

4.9 If the rug is damaged in transit , you have 24 hours from the time of delivery to inform us and the courier. (i know this is a short time, but it is the couriers terms and conditions, and we can’t claim from them for damage unless we inform them within this time). So please open and inspect your order as soon as you receive it. I recommend always signing for any shipment as damaged by default, so that you can always claim!
