Rug Emporium

Great service, good quality carpet, good value for money – I bought two carpets made in Persian and Matthew the owner is amazing. He helps me to find best quality carpet to fit my church requirement. He offered me great discount, very enthusiastic to help me and answer all my questions. I definitely will come back this store to buy rugs and carpets again. Strongly recommend

Never received product. NO refund – Delivery was apparently made to my home without me there. No shipping alerts to tell me to look out for the delivery, or even an expected day Of delivery. I’ve paid for a rug and never got it and there has been NO resolution or help from this company.

SCAM - do not buy from this company – been over 2 months and still haven't received my rug. Every email is met with a generic response, the same reply each time. Just a greedy, dishonest operation that should be avoided at all costs.

DO NOT BUY FROM THIS COMPANY – WARNING: DO not buy from this company if you value your sanity. I bought a rug on the 2nd April. It said in stock but I still had to chase them. It arrived on the 14th April. I opened it and was happy with the side colour etc. When I walked on it, it was soft for the most part until you rubbed your foot over a dry scratchy bit of glue holding… Read more

in the pile. This was not limited to one spot but all over the rug. It was on my floor for 2 days. on the 3rd day I looked down and there was a tuft of pile on the rug. I had a look and a whole strip of pile had come unstuck from the carpet, right in the vertical stipe. I emailed the Ryce, ( he's the only one on staff so must also sleep in the office as they don't seem to employ anyone else). Ryce organised return shipping but gave a pickup window for 8-5pm with no specific collection time, and said he couldn't find out one from Hunter express. He also said I could leave it outside if I had to go out but I'm liable if it gets lost and oh also if I miss collection I will have to pay for redelivery myself. They now have the rug. It arrived on the 28th April. Ryce now says that it can take 15 days OR MORE for the refunds team to review. So I have no product or money from this experience and no guarantee of ever seeing my money again. Avoid the headache and buy elsewhere!

Terribly slow – I ordered a rug on 5 July. No dispatch of the rug until 20 July. Still waiting. I did get an email from Google Customer Review asking how they did. Not very well. Far far far too slow. I have now had two payment installments taken out and no rug. Also the delivery tracking doesn't work. Should've gone to Harvey Norman and bought the rug I wanted from there. I am kicking myself for trusting an Australian on line company - they are always awful.

Top quality rug, professional service quick delivery and easy return of one of two rugs bought – Bought 2 rugs with intention of keeping one. Ryce very helpful and clear about return conditions. Opened 1 rug only and loved it so didn't even need to open 2nd rug. Quality great and lifts my whole room. Ryce assisted me in arranging return of one rug and it was all so easy. Very professional site, quick delivery and easy return. Will buy again.

shocking – Paid for the carpets weeks ago they advertise fast delivery. Nothing, sent emails and they say each time 2-4 days, still weeks later not even am email saying its ready to be delivered. No customer service, no phone contact. What on earth am I supposed to do? Disgraceful they should not advertise fast delivery and they should learn how to buy a mobile.

Love my new rug! – Couldn't be happier. Exactly like the pic. Beautiful and great quality. Arrived so quickly and this is a week before Xmas. Very impressed. Will use them again for sure. Great price.

Don’t waste your time - 0 customer service – I purchased a rug through Rug Emporium back in June, the delivery was fine and arrived within a week or ordering which was great. Unfortunately the rug which we ordered was slightly too small for the area in which we were putting it. So I quickly placed an order for another, so I could have both in the house at the same time and then make a… Read more

decision on which one we would return. The second rug was ordered on the 5th July and to date it has still not arrived.

I have been in touch with the customer support team (via email only as they cannot offer a phone service, this alone is frustrating enough) only to find out that the rug has been “lost”. And better yet they waited over a week and a half (only after I requested it) to check if they had another rug in stock which they could ship out in its place... only to find that of course they had all but sold out!

3 weeks have passed since I ordered this rug, supposedly a refund has been arranged for me however this was a week ago and my $658 still has not come back into my account. I have sent NUMEROUS emails addressing this issue, even offering them an alternate rug to send out in its place so that they don’t have to refund the money. It’s not surprising that I still have not heard back.

I am all for supporting local Australian business, and would go out of my way to support the little guy first. In this instance it turns out I made the wrong decision.

So much for dealing with an Aussie company, i may as well be ordering from the other side of the world! Customer service is TERRIBLE, Rug Emporium should be ashamed of their email response time! I hate to think what the process is going to be like to return the rug which I still have in my possession! Don’t waste your time, if you are looking for a cheaper rug, wait for the sales to come on in your local area and physically purchase one. Or if ordering online, look for a store with a contact phone number so you can speak to comeone about any issues which may arise (better yet, know that when you escalate an issue that it will be dealt with by a manager so that you aren’t stuck with the same person who has been unable to assist in any way!) nothing is worse than a company who can’t assist you and bury their heads in the sand when you attempt to make contact- Rug Emporium are experts at this!!

If you want to feel stressed and left feeling unheard, as if you don’t matter as a customer, then by all means give your business to Rug Emporium- personally, I wouldn’t recommend them to anyone, I will NEVER waste my time again.

Couldn't have been easier – We ordered online from Rug Emporium and our rug was delivered within the specified time, with plenty of notices informing us of such. It looks exactly as it did in the pictures online and we are very happy with it, as well as the overall experience.

Great service – It looks like there have been mixed reviews but I couldn't fault my experience with their service. The delivery was prompt and unfortunately the carpet was too 'shiny' so I organised a return which was seamless. The refund was prompt - I would purchase again if there was a rug in the colour I was after.

Great variety, great prices and speedy delivery – So happy with my new rug. It looks exactly like the picture.Thank you Rug Emporium for making the process so easy and efficient! Will definitely buy my next rug from you:)

Excellent product and service – I ordered a rug on 10 Sep 2016, receiving an order notification immediately. I received a dispatch notification on 15 Sep 2016. Delivery was attempted on 22 Sep 2016. I picked up the order on 23 Sep 2016. The rug is exactly as it appears on the site. I was a bit hesitant to order such an expensive purchase over the internet, due to the other… Read more

reviews on this site, but I'd been looking at this particular rug for a long time. I'm glad I did end up buying from Rug Emporium as the price was the cheapest for this style of rug, included delivery and the process was excellent.

Excellent Customer Service – Bought a teal rug and by accident a baby blue one was delivered. After speaking with Mykal, he investigated this error and found the supplier accidentally sent the incorrect rug. New one has already been delivered, old one getting picked up. All very stress free process.

Excellent service – Outstanding customer service. Fantastic communication and quick to respond to my needs, flexible and fast delivery. Rugs were excellent quality. I actually chose to deal with rug emporium after poor dealings with temple and Webster. It was refreshing how professional and fast they are, I can't understand the two previous poor reviews, as totally opposite to my experience.

Avoid- too hard to deal with – I bought a rug two weeks ago. Havent heard from them. Tried to call and they couldn't tell me where my rug was, said they would call me back and they haven't. they don't even deserve one star. I will be taking it further with fair trading. don't waste your time or money.

Don't bother with these people – Talk about unprofessional, obviously they don't know their products at all or they haven't been in business long and when I was trying to ask questions about a particular rug and its description they just kept going around in circles. Terrible attitude and terrible customer service. As a 50 year old woman I think I'd prefer to buy in store or from someone who knows their rugs.
