Packaging Rugs for Shipment

So you found your dream carpet at carpetido.de, but ask yourself what shipping a carpet looks like?

The online purchase of a carpet is after all more unusual than to order a blender or a pair of shoes. How exactly will it be packed and how will the carpetido.de team ensure that your carpet reaches your home or your office safely?

We pack in two proven techniques: on shipping tubes and bales.

With a carpet width of up to 2 meters, the carpet is rolled onto a shipping tube and then wrapped in transport foil. The shipping tube prevents buckling of the carpet, providing it with better support and makes the handling of the package very easy.

Carpets with a width of 2 meters or more are folded together expertly and carefully. By using this special folding technique your carpet will be folded into a compact carpet bale which will eventually also be wrapped with our robust transport foil.
For example a carpet with the dimensions 3m x 4m can be folded into a bale sized around 80cm length, 60cm width and 20cm height.

Our transport foil is an extremely resilient and high-quality transport packaging from the logistics industry. It is not nearly as beautiful as our carpets but will be your best bet when it comes to transport packaging for individual shipments of premium carpets.
Well sealed it will prevent the penetration of moisture or dust during its transport to you.

Your carpet is now ready for its journey to you. For illustration purposes we have taken pictures of the packaging process to give our customers a better idea on how your carpet is packed.

    

Is one technique better than the other?
Both techniques are optimized for their specific sizes and quantities. Due to its small size the rolled up carpet has a lesser amount of fabric which is why a fold could lead to tension and damages around the kinks. For example please visualize a double-folded cardboard packaging. Larger carpets on the other hand allow for a more traditional folding technique that simply does not lead to "kinking" due to the sequence of steps and the big dimension. As thought through as something can be, it can still be done wrong which is why at carpetido.de every step of the process is performed only by experts who are very skilled and experienced in dealing with fine oriental rugs. Therefore in specific cases individual decisions regarding the choice of technique will be made based on the nature of the carpet to ensure that the best possible result is achieved.

In the unlikely case that a carpet will be damaged upon arrival, please approach the delivery person right away upon receipt of the shipment and contact us.

We recommend to never open the transport foil with a knife. Firstly you will risk damaging your new carpet and secondly the foil can be re-used: Should you wish to make use of our 30 day return policy you can use the foil as well as the pictures to safely pack the carpet the way it was delivered to you. This ensures that the carpet can be received by us in a flawless condition.
