Rug Goddess Return Policy & Sample Program

At Rug Goddess, we want you to feel 100% confident in your selection. We offer a unique Try Before You Buy sample program, transparent 15-day returns, and zero restocking fees.

Try Before You Buy: The Sample Advantage

Unsure about a rug's color, pattern, or texture in your home's lighting?

  • Order a Sample or Smallest Size: Most rug collections offer sample swatches or small 2'x3' sizes.
  • Test It in Your Space: Compare colors against your flooring, furniture, and wall paint.
  • Credit Toward Your Purchase: When you make your decision and order the full-sized rug, Rug Goddess will credit the price of your sample toward the larger purchase!
  • Save on Potential Shipping: Return shipping for a 2'x3' sample averages $20–$30, compared to $125–$250+ for large area rugs.

15-Day Standard Return Policy

If your area rug does not meet your expectations, you may return it for a refund within 15 days of delivery.

  • No Restocking Fees: We never charge restocking fees or hidden penalty costs.
  • Return Shipping: Customers are responsible for return shipping expenses unless the product arrives defective or damaged.
  • Refund Processing: Refunds are issued back to your original payment method within 7–10 business days after the merchandise is received and inspected.

How to Initiate a Return

To ensure your return is properly tracked and credited, please follow these steps:

  1. Request Return Authorization (RA): Call our studio at 352-503-9410 or email janice@ruggoddess.com within 15 days of receipt to request your RA number.
  2. Receive Instructions: We will provide your RA number and designated return shipping address.
  3. Pack Securely: Repack the item in its original protective packaging with all original labels attached. Clearly write your RA number on the outside label.
  4. Ship & Receive Refund: Once inspected at our facility, your purchase price (less shipping) will be refunded within 7–10 business days.

Non-Returnable Items

Please note that the following items are final sale and cannot be accepted for return or exchange (unless defective upon delivery):

  • Oversized Rugs (8 ft. Wide & Wider): Because these ship via freight/common carrier, rugs 8 ft. wide or wider are non-returnable.
  • Custom-Made & Personalized Rugs: Bespoke sizing, custom fabrications, and special-order runners.
  • Sale & Clearance Merchandise: Discontinued or final clearance items.
  • Damaged, Soiled, or Altered Items: Merchandise showing signs of wear, pet hair, dirt, or modification.
