Shipping costs

Ground shipping to you is free within the continental United States. Customers are responsible for all return shipping, as we are unfortunately unable to issue return labels. To help you figure your shipping costs, we recommend utilizing FedEx.com, UPS.com or USPS.com to attain shipping rates. You can usually obtain the weight of your shipment by clicking on the tracking we emailed you regarding your order. 

Transit time on an order

Typical processing of an order at Rug Expedition takes 3 to 5 business days. Delivery to you takes typically 5 to 10 business days from the date the order was shipped. We provide tracking numbers, whenever available, so that you are better able to plan accurate delivery times.

If, for some reason, your order is delayed, we will let you know via e-mail and monitor your order until it is delivered to you. Oversized shipments, for 9x12 and larger rug, may be too big for UPS or FedEx. We may ship "Over Sized" shipments via truck line, which may take an extra day or two. Freight trucking companies will usually call you directly to make delivery arrangements.

Delivery method

We ship most products from our warehouse or from our manufacturers' warehouses via UPS or FedEx ground service. Some of our items are too large to ship via UPS or FedEx and must be shipped via truck or a specialized carrier. In most cases, these carriers will call you prior to delivering your order to help arrange your delivery during regular business hours.

All items shipped to a residential or business location will be delivered to your door. Please know, unless your item is over sized, you will not receive a call prior to delivery; since both UPS and FedEx are unable to provide this service. You may receive “inside delivery” from our freight line, and you can expect your freight shipments to be carried “over the threshold” of your home.
