If I could give a -1 for the scoring, that would be generous.

published

As soon as I rolled my new rug out I noticed it was two or more pieces poorly joined together, with a distinct join mark running across the centre. The end section had full length strips which were threadbare, although customer service insisted that these were creases. The rug felt like plastic. Customer service have been non responsive to my complaint, outside of kindly offering to accept the rug back for a full refund after I incur exuberant shipping costs in excess of the original purchase price.

I wish I'd seen the reviews here first

published

My sister bought a rug off them and loved it so I thought I would too. Unfortunately, my rug was completely misrepresented in the photos online - It was supposed to be a clean matte grey but in reality is a horrible silvery, reflective two-toned grey. I've now experienced the dreadful customer service with options to pay to send it to Switzerland ($236) or receive a 20% refund. Avoid this company! Don't trust the product photos online!

Haven't even received my rug

published

I ordered a rug six weeks ago. The "shipping confirmation" I received shortly afterwards says a shipping label has been created but the item has not actually shipped yet. I tried emailing customer service and have not received any response. I am very disappointed in the lack of service (not to mention the lack of product!) I will not be purchasing from this company again.

Read the return policy before buying!!!

published

Please believe the bad reviews!! I received a very poor quality rug and when I requested a return, the cost to return (to Switzerland or US!!!) was 3 times the price that I paid for the rug. The customer service was from US, rude and terrible. After hours chasing up, I lost my money and threw the rug out.

Very bad quality. It’s made of plastic!

published

It’s not worth anything. Super thin horrible quality rug. Some part of rug is already falling apart. Not nice to walk on. Came from the US. I thought it was an Australian company. Stay away.

Bird droppings on the rug and shocking quality!!

published

Update: AURugs has now provided a full refund for the faulty rug, hence I've increased their rating.
-----‐--------------
Disgusting bird droppings were found upon unrolling the rug. The quality of the rug is absolutely horrible also, paper thin and pilling. The refund hasn't been approved!! I'm devastated.

Super thin, low quality, expensive to return

published

Don't bother guys, rug does not match the pictures. It was stated as being 1/2 inch pile height but more like 1/4. Super thin and bad quality and colors.

2 Rugs Purchase - Quality Terrible - Customer Service not answering

published

I purchased 2 rugs, on receiving them the edges of both had already started to untether and thread unravel. Contacted Au Rugs, they sent replacements.....but were not the same rugs. On telling them they then responded that their upper management was being consulted and a solution would be forthcoming.. After weeks of waiting and many unanswered emails, I have given up. I will be reporting to the relevant consumer watchdog.

I also believe that their name is inappropriate, my wife purchased from them believing it was an Australian Company...but Rugs delivered from the US!

Keep clear of this company and buy local!

AU Rugs stole money from my PayPal Account

published

Yesterday I asked for a refund as the rug I bought was “unavailable and out of stock”.

Tonight two random “Uber Australia” payments were taken out of my account dated last night. When I disputed the transactions PayPal found 3 of the same transactions and low and behold the 3rd was from AU Rugs on the day I bought the rug initially.

One star because I can't rate zero stars

published

Rug was thin, cheap and cost me over $300. I enquired about a refund due to the terrible quality and even though AURugs sounds like it's an Australian company- it's not. They offered to organise my postage for $224 which is absolutely ridiculous. Don't buy from here! Do yourself a favour and get a rug from bunnings- cheaper and better quality

Absolute nightmare

published

On receiving shipping advice noticed rug I had not ordered was being sent. Contacted company within 8 hrs they could not redirect as shipped from USA misleading website wish I read reviews don’t go near this company! 50% Refund given the speed that this was offered tells me this is a usual practice & looking at their reviews many unhappy customers. Rude staff who stated I ordered rug incorrectly - would not accept wrong rug was dispatched
Update - received the thin poor quality rug that I didn’t order no refund could compensate for this rubbish - straight to the tip this company shouldn’t be allowed to trade the negative reviews say it all.

Rug folded and damaged

published

rug was shipped folded up. This has damaged the pile and the backing material is showing. I have bought much larger rugs before and they were all shipped rolled around a tube. Absolute scam company.

Cheap, ugly rug: thin, hard, synthetically shiny. Huge return postage - company is a scam.

published

Extremely poor quality: rug is thin, hard, very synthetic (slightly shiny) in appearance, colour far more garish than on screen (even accounting for the colour inaccuracy inherent in any screen). Extremely expensive to return. So bad that I'm simply dumping it and counting it as a loss and a hideous lesson in checking returns policies before buying. Customer nil, AURugs $400. Ghastly experience.

Top place to find your ideal rug.

Great prices and deliver on time. Have bought two rugs and they are perfect. The website shows the rugs in different locations so you get an excellent idea of how it may look in your home.
