The rug seems ok, but it’s hard to know for sure since it’s hanging outside to dry after FedEx left it in the rain. Not a problem with the manufacturing clearly, but the decision to ship via FedEx is an issue. FedEx will not recognize my house as residential, for some reason, and therefore will not let me sign up for delivery manager, a program which allows you to control delivery if you’re out of town, for example, like we were during the rainstorm this weekend. Though I have called and spoken with many representatives at FedEx, they have done nothing about it. Researching the issue has led me to believe this is a fairly common and unresolvable problem.  I therefore implore sellers not to ship via FedEx until they resolve this issue.
