What is your Test Drive policy?

Engaging in a 'Test Drive' of a carpet through Tufenkian.com initiates a consignment relationship between Tufenkian and the customer. When you test drive a carpet, Tufenkian will reserve the price of the rug on your credit card, and thus requires credit card information before shipping the carpet to you. Every order processed through our website, with the exception of those purchased with Klarna as the payment method, is sent out on a test drive. Klarna orders are considered final and processed immediately.

Upon shipment, Tufenkian shall provide Consignees with the UPS tracking number via e-mail. If the rug is in stock at Tufenkian’s warehouse, it will arrive to the Consignee within 7-10 days. Rugs located outside of the warehouse generally take 10-20 days.

Rugs on a 'Test Drive' consignment may be kept for up to seven (7) days, a time period which begins the day the rug is received for inspection. If the Consignee does not contact Tufenkian after seven (7) days, it is assumed that the Consignee is purchasing the rug and the reserved amount will be charged to the Consignee’s credit card. If the rug is to be returned, the Consignee will pay for return shipping costs.

Free outbound shipping is not applicable outside the 48 contiguous United States, and in other situations such as with sales coupons or with some specially priced items. The Consignee will bear the full cost, both outbound and inbound, for undeliverable shipments.

To return a consigned rug, the Consignee should keep the packaging materials from the rug’s initial shipment. Open the package carefully to preserve the original packaging; replacement packaging can be supplied for $15. Tufenkian will issue Consignees instructions with a Return Authorization and UPS pick-up information. Consignees are not to send consigned rugs back until these instructions have been received.

By placing an order with Tufenkian.com, you agree to all of Tufenkian’s terms and conditions of sale. Note that your sales or 'Test Drive' transaction may not be completed without an indication of your acceptance.
