How long will my rug take to arrive?Shipping & Delivery

Ready-to-ship catalog rugs are dispatched within 24–48 hours from our Gurugram hub. Estimated delivery timelines are 4 to 7 business days for metro cities and 6 to 9 business days for the rest of India. Made-to-order artisan pieces require 2–3 weeks of loom weaving before dispatch.

How do I track my active shipment?Shipping & Delivery

Once your rug has been picked up by our courier partner, you will receive an automated email and WhatsApp message with your tracking link and AWB tracking number. You can monitor live transit status directly on the courier partner's portal.

What should I do if my package arrives damaged or tampered?Shipping & Delivery

Please inspect the outer packaging before signing the delivery receipt. If the wrapping appears punctured or torn, note 'Damaged Outer Packaging' on the courier slip and take photos/video. Email us within 48 hours of delivery at hihomes.store@gmail.com and we will arrange an immediate replacement.

Do you ship internationally outside India?Shipping & Delivery

Yes, we ship internationally on select bespoke orders. Please reach out to hihomes.store@gmail.com with your required dimensions, design preference, and destination country for custom air freight rates.

What is HI-Homes' return and exchange policy?Returns & Refunds

We offer a 7-day return and exchange window for standard in-stock catalog rugs from the date of delivery. The rug must be unused, unwashed, and rolled in its original protective packaging with all tags attached.

Are made-to-order or custom-sized rugs returnable?Returns & Refunds

Bespoke custom-sized rugs and made-to-order commissions woven specifically to client specifications cannot be returned or refunded for change of mind. They are only eligible for replacement in the rare event of transit damage or manufacturing discrepancy verified within 48 hours of delivery.

How does the doorstep return pickup work?Returns & Refunds

Once your return request is approved, we generate a Return Authorization (RMA) and schedule a reverse courier pickup directly at your doorstep. Please roll the rug neatly and secure it in protective packaging for the courier agent.

When and how will I receive my refund?Returns & Refunds

After the returned rug is received and inspected at our Gurugram facility, your refund will be processed within 5 to 7 business days. Prepaid orders are refunded to the original payment source; COD orders are refunded via direct bank transfer (NEFT) or UPI.

Are HI-Homes rugs authentic handmade pieces?Product & Rug Care

Yes! Every HI-Homes rug is handcrafted by master artisans in Bhadohi, India—the historic carpet capital renowned for centuries of fine weaving. We use traditional hand-tufting, hand-looming, and hand-braiding techniques using premium natural wool, organic jute, and cotton.

Is initial rug shedding normal for wool rugs?Product & Rug Care

Yes, shedding is a completely natural characteristic of genuine hand-tufted wool rugs. Short fiber remnants trapped during artisan shearing work their way out with initial footfall. It will taper off significantly after 4–8 weeks with gentle, regular vacuuming on suction-only mode.

How do I choose the correct rug size for my room?Product & Rug Care

Please visit our visual Rug Size Guide to view architectural room placement diagrams for Living Rooms, Bedrooms, and Dining Rooms. As a general rule: leaving 12–18 inches of exposed floor around your rug creates a balanced, harmonious room aesthetic.
