To send a rug, first clean it and roll it tightly and then securely wrap it in protective plastic or a durable wrap to protect it. Place it in an appropriate tube or packaging and then choose a trustworthy courier familiar with handling rugs.
Start by cleaning and drying the rug thoroughly. Fold and roll the rug tightly along the width, securing it with tape. For extract protection, wrap in plastic foil and then add a cardboard layer. Place the rug in a suitable box with cushioning materials. Finally, research the destination country’s customs regulations and be aware of any duties and taxes.
