Shipping & Returns

DELIVERY

All Trends Rugs orders are delivered during business hours. If you order multiple items from our website, you may receive multiple deliveries shipped by multiple carriers since items may be sent from different warehouse locations. Carriers are unfortunately not able to specify an exact delivery time for small to medium items, but for large rugs carriers can advise morning or afternoon for delivery. We are currently unable to cater to any additional delivery requests including, but not limited to: express shipping, selection of specific delivery date or time, weekend deliveries, reserving or holding stock in our or our partner’s warehouse, consolidation of multiple orders or consolidation of items in an order if they are dispatched from more than one location.

Upon arrival of your package, please note any damage to the packaging as well as any damage to the item itself. If you feel that the damage to an item is too severe please refuse the package. There is no need to refuse all delivered rugs if most are in good condition.

Depending on the size of the items in your order, we utilise the following shipping and delivery methods:

SMALL RUGS (under 100x150cm)

Many lightweight items can be shipped via Australia Post. As soon as your item has left the warehouse you will be notified via email and be able to track your order online. Our standard shipping arrangement will require a signature upon delivery; however, you can select an option at checkout to leave the order at your door. If you are not at home at the time of delivery and you have not given an authority to leave the package, a notice with alternative arrangements will be left at your residence (usually your parcel will be stored at your local post office for pick up).

FOR LARGER SIZED RUGS

For medium sized items such as 120X170cm rugs or above that cannot be shipped via Australia Post, we will send them through one of several freight carriers. Our standard agreement with our carriers does not include a call to arrange a suitable delivery time. However, once your items have left the warehouse, you will be able to track their journey online. Please note that delivery dates shown on the carriers’ websites are only estimates and we cannot take any liability for late deliveries.

Items will be sent to the shipping address you provide when placing your order. We cannot accept a PO box for these items as shipping address because our shipping partners are unable to deliver to a PO box.

Usually, our freight deliveries are sent straight to your doorstep and require a signature upon delivery to acknowledge that the items have been received in a reasonable order. However, if you anticipate that you might not be at home for your delivery, please select the option to leave the order at your door at checkout. Due to security and liability restriction of our carriers, the customer is responsible for bringing any of such merchandise into their home, so we recommend that you have someone available to help you carry the rug into your home, unpack and roll our your rug.

If, for any reason, our shipping partner is not able to successfully deliver your order they should leave a card with further delivery instructions. In these situations, Trends Rugs reserves the right to charge you for any additional costs incurred (e.g. shipping and storage) or to cancel the sale contract, in which case, we will fully refund you the net amount (i.e. the amount you paid minus shipping or storage costs).

Please note that it may not be advisable to give an authority to leave large items at your door as we will not be held liable for any loss and will not be able to provide the service to carry the items into your home and you may need to have someone available to help you.

In very exceptional cases where delivery may result in unusually high freight charges (including, but not limited to, remote delivery locations, inner city deliveries, island deliveries, etc.), Trends Rugs reserves the right to cancel an order. Please contact us first if you'd like to check if your location may be subject to unusually high freight charges.
