Our returns, shipping, and sourcing policies — in plain language, so you know exactly what to expect.

Returns

10-Day Return Window

You may return any item purchased online from Serapi Rug Gallery within 10 days of the delivery date for a full refund. This policy applies to online orders only. Our in-store return policy is stated on your invoice at the time of purchase.

How to Start a Return

Contact us by phone or email to initiate a return. Our team will provide instructions and, where applicable, a UPS return label you can print and ship.

Return Shipping Costs

Shipping is free when you keep your rug. If you return it, the original shipping cost will be deducted from your refund.

Three-Month Exchange Policy

Items may be exchanged for store credit or a different piece within 3 months of the purchase date at full value. After 3 months, we're happy to accept the piece as a trade toward a new rug, though the trade-in value will be less than the original purchase price. Items must be in new condition at the time of exchange. Exchanges apply to handmade rugs only.

In-Store Purchases

Rugs purchased in person at our Los Gatos showroom are subject to the return policy stated on your invoice at the time of purchase, which may differ from our online policy.

Refund Processing

Once we receive and inspect a returned item, refunds are processed within a few business days back to your original payment method.

Damaged in Transit

If your rug arrives damaged, contact us within 48 hours of delivery with photos. We will work with you toward a replacement, repair credit, or refund.

Responsible Sourcing

Where Our Rugs Are Made

We source our handmade rugs from artisan weaving regions including Afghanistan, China, India, Iran, Morocco, Nepal, Pakistan, and Turkey, supporting traditional craftsmanship passed down through generations.

Ethical & Sustainable Sourcing

We strive to ensure our rugs are sourced in ethical and environmentally sustainable ways, with weavers fairly compensated and provided access to education, healthcare, and housing.

GoodWeave Partnership

Serapi Rug Gallery is a proud partner of GoodWeave™, working to end child labor in carpet-weaving communities. Rugs carrying the GoodWeave certification label have been produced without child labor and inspected by GoodWeave representatives.

Terms of Service

Agreement to Terms

By accessing or purchasing from serapiruggallery.com, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, please do not use our site or services. These terms apply to all visitors, users, and customers.

Product Authenticity & Descriptions

We make every effort to accurately describe each rug's construction, materials, and condition. Additional photos or a short video of any rug can be requested prior to purchase. Minor color variation may occur due to photography and screen calibration.

Listing Accuracy

We make every effort to accurately describe all items, including construction, materials, size, and any known characteristics. Minor discrepancies in color representation may occur due to photography and screen calibration.

Purchases and Payment

All purchases are final at the time of checkout, subject to our return policy. We reserve the right to cancel any order for reasons including payment issues or suspected fraud. Payment is processed securely through Shopify Payments.

Custom & Commissioned Pieces

Custom and commissioned rugs are produced to your specified dimensions following a computer rendering approved by you. Because these pieces are made to order, custom orders may require a deposit and are generally non-cancellable once production begins.

Limitation of Liability

Serapi Rug Gallery is not liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from the use of our site or products. Our maximum liability for any claim is limited to the purchase price of the item in question.

Changes to Terms

We reserve the right to update these Terms of Service at any time. Changes are effective immediately upon posting to the site. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
