posted May-11-2012 “We have a 30 day return policy and we abide by that policy and honor the return in any condition. Customer used the rug for more than 30 days and then contacted us to request the return. We could not help as our supplier wont take it back from us 30 days later. Customer entered a wrong invoice number at first which we could not verify to leave this feedback. Customer still left us negative feedback for NO fault of Nilima Rugs but her own mistakes.”
"Boo to Nilima Rugs. I ordered a $1,300 rug. It arrived more than two months after I ordered it. The rug is defective and they would not take it back. I have been seeing a lot of ads on TV and on the internet, I think that people should know that not all that this company does is good. I see that they get good ratings, but my experience was not good. Now I'm stuck with a $1,300 rug that is unacceptable for my office. I would not recommend ordering rugs through the mail. Go to your local dealer.
Now on 5/11/2012 the merchant contacted Reseller Ratings and denied ever selling me the rug to try to get this post removed. I have to wonder if that is why there are so many positive ratings!
In response to Nilima Rugs: Well, if they are going to keep this going...so be it. The number I gave was what was in my email confirmation. The rug was not used for 30 days. We did not install it until two weeks after receiving it, because this is an operating business. The rug is falling apart. Nevertheless, they are right - we did not make their 30 day cutoff. We contacted them on either the 31st or 32nd day.
A technicality, for this company, is clearly an excuse for poor customer service. The appropriate response would have been to work with me - or even find out why we wanted to send the rug back. The response to our call was that we missed the 30 day time limit. When we contacted them again to try to explain the problem with the rug, and that it was not apparent right away that the rug was defective, they never responded. They never found out that the rug was defective and falling apart.
While I appreciate that they even have a return policy, it is their complete lack of concern that makes them a poor company with which to do business.
My point is to advise people to work with a local company. Ordering a rug - especially one costing $1,300 - should not be done through the internet. You should work with someone with whom you can meet face-to-face. To this online company, we are faceless people they can insult as indicated in their response. I believe that the response to my posting is a clear indication of their attitude and an excellent reason to choose a different company."
