Virtual Rug Shopping

Over the past few years, the E-commerce industry has been on a roll. Everything can be done online, from buying a railway ticket to investing in gold, stocks, and property. No one ever thought that you won’t have to even leave the house to buy groceries. Amazon and Flipkart not only revolutionized the online shopping industry but also inspired many businesses and governments to go online. While online shopping has made everything effortless, it may seem like a daunting task. With so many options available for everything over the internet, we have noticed that approximately 2% of the world population has switched back to the conventional ways of shopping. 

With everything available on the internet today, people prefer to make big investments in person only. However, from authentic e-commerce platforms, these purchases can be made. The boom of purchasing textiles started with the launch of Myntra. While clothing is one thing, other textile products like cushion covers, rugs, curtains, etc, also follow. Purchasing home decor accessories online has its pros and cons. 

If you set out to purchase a rug online, you might face a few challenges. We have mentioned the major ones below for your caution. 

1.       Size- Looking at a rug in real time and online on a screen may change your perspective. Whilst you obviously would be aware of the size of the rug that would fit in your space, post delivery, you might realise that a rug of a different size would have been better. Looking at rugs of different sizes online might not give you the exact idea.

2.       Shape- Shaped rugs are slowly crawling up the ladder in this contemporary market. From space fillers to tapestries, these rugs are being used in every way imaginable. Online, having a look at the rug might develop your interest, but similar to the size issue, post-delivery, you will either be disappointed or extremely happy. This is a gamble that you might have to take.

3.       Material- The sense of touch is crucial when you are buying such an asset for your space. You might think that a wool and cotton rug would feel like cotton cloth. Not only is there a difference, but the weave and the thickness vary. Most good-quality rugs are made using New Zealand wool. The online platform from which you order the rug might say the same but post delivery, there is a possibility that you might not be satisfied.

4.       The appearance- To make a sale, every e-commerce platform tries its best to make the product look its best. You can not only see the rug but also view how it would look in a living room set up. Once you have the rug in your hands, you might question your choice in case it does not look good in the setup. 

It might sound ironic but we at Obeetee Carpets do sell our rugs online. While we understand the above challenges, we offer a solution. Unlike many brands, we not only guarantee authenticity but also give you full-fledged customer service assistance.
