By truck, rolled on a heavy cardboard tube, and plastic shrink wrapped, and encased in a heavier plastic bag. You hope.

Just enquired at Wayfair who pays for shipping if I don't like the rug. Of course, I do (only $75.00 to return it to them). They were nice enough to give me the quote. I really don't know if I want to take a chance.

When looking for a rug for my mother, we ordered a 2 x 3 to make sure she liked it. She did not - much easier to ship back.

Hey jane - that's a good idea. thanks.
