I received four rugs in August, various sizes.  Do to redecorating the home, the rugs have been sitting in the house and still in their wrapped plastic from shipping. Upon opening the rugs this past weekend and attempting to flatten them out, I noticed water damage on one of the runners.  As soon as the plastic was removed, it was apparent somehow this carpet was partially soaked.  The carpets were place in a room with no access to water and in a controlled temperature environment. As soon as the package was removed, the mold smell was very strong and because the carpet was heavily wrapped in plastic, it kept the moisture inside. I've never ordered rugs online before and I have no idea how the carpet got soaked inside the plastic packaging.
