I ordered two rugs for my home in Italy but even realizing that they were being shipped from South Carolina, USA. The shipping cost was reasonable. The first rug arrived and I loved the colors and quality. So I ordered another for my dining room. That one had shipping problems but this company assigned a person to help me track the shipment. She actually had to order a second rug but it arrived fine. I'm now ordering another rug and I know it'll be perfect.
