Cheap!
Item was delayed. We ordered thinking it was an Australian company, but it’s not, they are based in the USA! And it turns up cheap and nasty. Would not recommend
... Read morepoor quality. expensive
purchased a hall runner last week which was delivered yesterday, the runner is already starting to unravel around the ends. paid almost $300. its very poor quality and very thin. disappointed. the design is nice but quality is very poor
Terrible experience!
I urge anyone considering to buy from this company to refrain from doing so. I purchased a $300+ rug only for it to arrive and be unsuitable in size and design. It looked completely different in terms of colour tones in the pictures too. When I sought to return the rug, the shipping costs (to Switzerland) exceeded the value of the rug itself which I would’ve had to incur the expense of. When I contacted customer service the only viable solution was a partial refund of $100 and to be left stuck with a rug that does not suit any space in our home
... Read more and be out of pocket $200+ later. Do not let the title of the company fool you- they are NOT Australian based and do not have warehouses in Australia so the after sales service *if* the rug isn’t suitable for you is non-existant.Read the small print
Make sure you like what you order I was told that to return my $209 rug was going to cost $240

Rug came broken
The rug that I paid almost $1000 came broke. Customer service still didn’t responded to me. I’m very dissapointed.
Terrible rugs
We purchased a rug 2yrs ago and the corners never settled and we were constantly tripping over it.
After 3 months the store told us it can take a while for the corners to settle yet even with corner weights attached the rug continued to get worse. Yesterday my 3yr old son took a terrible fall after tripping on a corner and I threw it out of the house - avoid these cheap and nasty rugs.
Avoid at any cost!
I ordered one rectangle, one round and one small carpet which cost me around 1300 aud. This company is an absolute sham. The carpets are as thin as mat. I don't even call these carpets. And return is beyond crazy. You would have to send the carpet back at your own expenses. They are selling 100 dollars carpet at 500 dollars. Do yourself a favour and spend your hard earned money somewhere else. I am not upset at them, I am upset at myself for wasting 1300 aud on this company.

Absolute rubbish
Bought a piece of cr-p from this bunch of shysters. Return for a refund is 'send to Switzerland!'
Issue now in hands of credit card company who I hope will take action.
DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY WITH THIS BUNCH!
... Read moreNever had a bad experience with AURugs
I have never had any issues with AURugs and I have bought a few from them. Going to order another one from them.
They come rolled up but no difficulty to get them to lay flat. If any corners are sticking up I simple put a heavy book or two on the corner for a while and the it comes good.
Maybe I have been lucky with the type I have bought.

Do Not Use !!
Rug arrived - worst quality rug i've ever seen, bunnings was better. The rug wasn't even in a straight line. To return they make you pay to ship it to switzerland, pay for that and then refund when they receive it. How many get "lost"? Do not use this company!
... Read moreNo issues at all
I have now purchased 3 rugs from them, no they are not in Australia but I had the rug in a week, around 6 days before their estimated delivery date. Each rug has been quite decent quality especially for the price and I’m surprised they have so many negative reviews, in my experience I think they are fantastic.
... Read moreAbsolute rubbish
I bought a rug from them. They aren't even based in AU. The rug was folded!!! And it was horrible quality. Returning the rug was going to cost me 700$ and the company was only going to refund me once they received it. So essentially I could have lost double the price I paid if the shipping failed to get it to them. Not worth it.

Dodgy!!!! Zero stars
No stars!!! Do not buy from this company if you think you may return the rug. They don’t tell you the return address is SWITZERLAND!!! So my 600$ rug would cost 365$ to ship from AU to Switzerland. They then offered me a partial refund of $90 if I didn’t return the rug. Sooo dodgy
Rug still not received
I ordered a rug in September, I still haven't received it yet. Its still waiting to be picked up by the courier company. I'm extremely disappointed, no contact phone number i can ring. They don't answer emails. I need this rug for my wedding. Now I'm out of pocket and no rug.
... Read moreDo not buy from aurugs.com.au
Do not buy from aurugs.com.au. The rug I received was sub standard and faulty - there were patches all over it where you could see the base. They accepted it was faulty and sent a replacement rug. The second rug was the same, covered with patches where you could see the base. This time they refused to accept it was faulty, and even after sending many emails with photos, they insisted it was in perfect condition. The only way to receive a full refund (they offered a 50% refund, which they wouldn't do if it wasn't faulty) was to pay for shipping to return it, which they said would cost over $300. I had to lodge a complaint with PayPal to receive a full refund.
The only reason I gave it a star is because I can't give it zero stars!
Rugs was folded and needed to be steamed flat which cost extra money. Poor quality
The rug I bought was folded and had many creases etc that I eventually had to steam clean straight.
Great delivery time
I didn't notice until after I had placed my order that it would be coming from the US. I expected that it would take forever. I was wrong. It arrived today in 7 days to my door from USA to Cairns in far north QLD. I placed 2 other orders the same day both located in Australia. One cancelled after 5 days and the other still hasn't arrived. So much for me thinking that buying in Australia would be faster! Item was exactly as described. I was kept informed of delivery by updates regularly which is something neither of the two Australian companies have done. I can't fault AURugs and would not hesitate to buy from them again.
... Read moreMisleading info about quality and the location of the company
The quality of the rug is very poor. As soon as I received it I contacted to return the rug, however only received an automated response saying the buyer needs to pay shipping to USA or Switzerland which will cost more than the rug which is already over priced for it’s quality. It seems risky to order anything from this company due to their faulty, unethical and misleading approach.
better than expected
Bought for my lounge room Great quality Rolled and wrapped well for fast delivery (less than 1 week from USA to Australia) Colours are just like pictures I'm going back for another rug each for my bedroom and living room DON'T BE AFRAID THEY ARE INCREDIBLE
... Read moreOval shag rug
I was disappointed, rug was white on black background and shag was so sparce could see black through. Not the quality I expected.
Mouldy, thing & bad customer service!
Received rug quickly considering it was from overseas initially thought I was ordering from an Australian company…misleading. Rug arrived badly folded and felt damp, had a off mouldy smell. I contacted AURUGS immediately and only received vague or automated responses. I advised of my problem and advised I wanted a refund, as the item is faulty, it’s the sellers responsibility to pay for the return, for the last week they’ve offered minimal partial refunds and wanting to charge more than the rug for shipping! For a week we’ve been going around in circles where they’re now just copying and pasting their email. I’ve reported them to my bank and fair trading. Do not buy from the company, bad quality, mouldy & terrible service.
... Read moreproduct is not how it looks
i bought this small oregano Turkish style rug expecting it to be nice and thick to keep the room warm for winter and a very low quality thin rug came, you could physically see the layer underneath the fur from how thin it was. I contacted them in hopes to be granted a refund however to send back the product it costed even more than the rug itself which meant it was pointless and you were stuck with a rug of no use. Why have an Australian rug company based in the states if customers are going to have complaints from here? my advice is do not buy from here as if you aren't happy with the terrible quality rug then nothing can be done by it.
... Read morecarpet had no pile and was very poor quality
Ordered a red carpet square and the delivered carpet was more backing than pile, (unlike the picture advertised). also was very poor quality with manufacturing lines going though.
There is a 30 day money back guarantee but you have to post to US or Europe which wouldn't be worth the cost
Fantastic Company
Had a faulty rug sent to me and emailed them straight away. The best customer service I have ever received from an online Company. Communication was the best. They went way out of their way to help me. Will definitely be using them again.
... Read moreWARNING do NOT buy from AU Rugs!!!!
The rug was sent from the USA and arrived with deep creases, stretched/distorted and will not flatten. It's cheap looking, thin and nothing like described on their website. They advertised the rug as being 1/2 inch thick, it is barely 1/2cm thick! When I complained and asked for a refund, I was offered a 20% partial refund or I could return it to Switzerland at a cost more than I paid for it. I feel so ripped off. I regret not looking at this site before buying. They are obviously aware at how inferior their product is, so much so that they fac
... Read moretor into their business model to give 20% refunds to those who complain and they still make a profit. It's cheap junk, DO NOT BUY! I can't even leave it in the house, I think it will have to go in the garage until I finally get over how much money I wasted and throw it in the bin. AU Rugs is not an Australian company, and ship from the USA with 'hassle free' returns to Switzerland costing more than you paid for the rug. I hope this review stops others from making the same mistake I did.DONT USE THIS COMPANY
The returns policy is shocking!!! You are not dealing with an Australian company, the returns are to USA or Switzerland! $365 to return an item!!
... Read morevery disappointed after receiving my my order today, very poor quality & finish of the product.
personally, I don't recommend purchasing any item from aurugs.
very disappointed after receiving my order today, very poor quality & finish of the product.
Cannot return items. Company supposedly in Switzerland!
Rugs were of poor quality, colours as pictured or description of colours (ordered and described as grey but rugs were green!) were not even close. attempted to return via their call centre and they suggested that I had to post the rugs to Switzerland! The cost of postage was higher that the rugs!! Cannot recommend using this company.
... Read moreAM NOT SATIFISFIED
After 3-4 weeks the corners of the rugs will not lay flat. The runner has a large pale patch where every one can see it We purchased 3 of the same rugs - 1 rug for front door. 1 runner for hallway. 1 large rug for family room. If I trip over one more corner I will throw the rug in the yard. The name AU Rugs is very deceiving.
... Read moreIm happy
They have such nice looking rugs I ordered one rug received it other day. I was a little disappointed that it come from us I thought it was a Australian based company, but in saying that it was rolled and wrapped good had protective cardboard at either side. It did have a few creases but only minor that will come out.i ordered it then read the reviews and when I read them I was getting nervous but overall iam happy with the rug and il purchase again for sure but yer not Australia based but I like the rug I got. Happy
... Read moreVery doddgy product description and customer service
I called the office and asked about more details about a particular rug over $5k as on-line product descriptions is very shallow and doesn't provide information as other shops do. The manager was very rude even didn't bother to check the rug on his computer. But mumbled something and continued this is a cheap rugs that's it. At the end he hung ip on me. Their products are traditional rugs which spoiled with their traditional attitude and customer service. Zero recommendation as they are not trust worthy unless you walk to shop and see the product and take a risk with cheap $5k rug!
... Read morepoor quality, very badly creased
I have bought from AURugs before and have not had a problem. They ship quickly and don't charge. However that said, I bought 4 rugs, all the same pattern, on sale, which really were on sale as a few days later the price had risen. The rugs are really poor quality, very lightweight, horrible underfoot, and creased so badly I can't believe they will ever flatten but until/if they do, my lounge and dining rooms look awful. I won't be returning them as it would cost too much to send to the USA. I imagine they won't last long and when they do I will only buy local what I can see and feel.
... Read moreVery happy with my beautiful rug.
I am delighted with my new rug. It arrived rolled up and was delivered a week after I ordered it online, which surprised me as it was coming from the US. The rug is exactly as it looked in the photo and is just stunning. The price was good too ... very reasonable and free delivery.
I'm surprised at some of the negative reviews? I highly recommend AURugs. Great product, great price, great service. Thank you AURugs.
... Read moreDisappointed
The 2 rugs I ordered we not as write up suggested . 1 had a flaw all the way down the back, very Badly packaged and over priced . Thank goodness I bought when on sale and have lost $388 on poor poor quality. Wish I had checked reviews first .
... Read moreDo not waste your money - rug arrived folded and creased
Arrived fast, low price BUT like other reviews state the rug was folded almost into a ball and creases will not come out. Massive rug = massive waste of money. Will be taking further…returns are at buyers cost to Switzerland or USA!!
... Read moreSurprisingly nice!
Just received my rugs x 2 and they arrived nicely rolled up a week after ordering. I was worried as I went online to read reviews but I’m totally happy with the design, colour and softness. Can’t comment on the durability yet as we haven’t used it. The only suggestion I’d make is that delivery driver could leave it in a safer or more secure place as we live on a main road- it’s visible to passerby or request it be sent to the post office.
... Read moreGreat rug, crazy fast postage
I was suss on au rugs after reading these reviews, but I ordered a rug anyway seeing as it was reduced to only $45. The rug took one week to get from the USA to Victoria Aus! One week! And it’s crazy good quality, looks cool and all for $45!!!! Posted to my door. Unbelievable. I’ve never left a review but figured I should because they’ve got so many bad ones but my $45 rug is grouse.
... Read moreRug came so quick! Happy with purchase.
The rug arrived super quick from the USA. Was heavily reduced and I am happy with the quality. I would buy from again.
Horrible and a scam!!!!
Rug arrived and it looked completely different, and a lot worse than the pictures. Would NOT have purchased if the pictures were accurate. AURugs would not accept a return unless I paid for shipping which was going to cost me over $450 - half of what I paid for the rug.
I'm in the process of doing a chargeback with my bank and encourage others to do this as well. This is a complete scam - selling rugs with misleading and deceptive photos and providing you with utter trash and offering no support after the sale.
