Frequently asked questions
Have a question about your rug? We're here to help!
PRODUCT INFORMATION
Do online images accurately display the product and colors?
The digital images we share will provide the most accurate color description available. However, due to differences in computer monitors/settings, we cannot be responsible for minor variations in color between the actual product and your screen. Please be advised that some patterns may vary subtly based on size/shape. You may try this product for 30 days. If you decide not to keep it, you will be responsible for return shipping charges.
What should I know about product dimensions?
Some handcrafted rugs may vary in size +/- 3 inches from the stated dimensions. This is not a manufacturer defect but a common characteristic of the way handmade rugs are individually woven.
Is shedding a defect?
All natural fiber rugs will exhibit some degree of shedding, as these rugs are made up of countless individual strands, it is natural for the looser ones to fall away after production. This is normal and not a manufacturer's defect. Although it can be bothersome, the amount of shedding will soon subside some cleanings.
Are there any eco-friendly or sustainable rug options available?
While Tufty Home makes constant efforts to reduce our carbon emissions/footprint, we are proud to offer a wide variety of handmade rugs born wholly of natural materials such as Jute plant fibers, wool, and leather.
Do you have a physical showroom?
In an effort to maintain the most affordable selection of items, we do not maintain a primary showroom for our items. We feel the online marketplace offers the customer the most holistic view of our inventory, and we currently maintain a number of different logistics warehouses in strategic locations around the country, housing regionally appropriate design items, in an effort to reduce fulfillment times.
How can I prevent slipping or sliding of rugs on hardwood or tile floors?
In order to prevent rugs from slipping and sliding across a smooth service, it is recommended customers place a non-slip rug pad underneath the entirety of the rug.
PRICING AND BILLING
Do I have to pay sales tax?
Tufty Home is required to charge sales tax in line with individual state regulations, except for the following states: Delaware, Montana, New Hampshire & Oregon. Alaska does not have state-wide sales tax but allows cities and towns to levy sales tax. If you have any questions about sales tax added to your order, please contact Customer Service.
How do I get a copy of my receipt?
When you submit your order you are given the option to view a printable version of your receipt. We recommend you save a copy of this document for your personal records. You will also receive a confirmation email upon completion of your order, should you provide your email address at the time of check-out. If you need an additional or replacement copy of this receipt contact our Customer Service Department, and we will be happy to forward another copy.
How can I get an explanation of my charges?
If you have any questions about your order please don't hesitate to reach out to Customer Service, and we will be happy to provide any additional explanation or clarification.
When will my credit card be charged?
Your credit card will be charged the moment you click the "Submit Order" button on the checkout page to confirm your order.
How do credit card pending charges and authorizations work?
When you make a purchase using your credit card, the merchant sends a request to your credit card issuer (the bank that issued your credit card) to verify that you have sufficient credit available for the transaction. This is known as an authorization request. The credit card issuer checks your available credit limit and places a temporary hold on the authorized amount. During this stage, the transaction is considered "authorized," and the funds are effectively set aside, but they are not yet deducted from your available credit.
After the authorization is approved, the transaction enters a "pending" status. This means that the authorized amount is temporarily reserved on your credit card account, but it hasn't been fully processed or posted to your account balance yet. The pending charge is a way for the credit card issuer to ensure that the funds will be available when the transaction is completed.
The pending charge will typically remain on your account for a certain period of time, usually a few days. During this time, the merchant finalizes the transaction by sending the actual purchase amount to the credit card processor for settlement. Once the transaction is fully processed, the pending charge is replaced with the actual purchase amount, and the transaction is considered "posted" to your account.
Once the transaction is posted, the funds are officially deducted from your available credit limit, and you will see the transaction on your credit card statement. This is the actual charge for the purchase you made.
In some cases, pending charges might not turn into actual charges. For example, if a merchant cancels a transaction before it's fully processed or if there's an issue with the transaction, the pending charge may be released, and the temporary hold on your credit limit will be lifted. This can take a few days to reflect in your available credit.
It's important to note that while pending charges affect your available credit, they don't immediately impact your account balance or your ability to make additional purchases, as long as you have sufficient available credit. Keep in mind that the timing of when pending charges turn into actual charges can vary depending on the merchant, the credit card issuer's policies, and other factors.
If you notice any discrepancies or unauthorized transactions, it's recommended to contact your credit card issuer promptly to address the issue and ensure the accuracy of your credit card statement.
When will my return credit appear on my account?
We will credit your account upon receipt and inspection (to be sure the item has not been soiled or damaged) of your returned merchandise. It may take several days for your bank to process the return credit and it to appear on your next statement.
