Types of Rugs We Ship
Whether you need to move a delicate heirloom or an expensive modern piece, we know how to handle different kinds of rugs with care.
Wondering how to ship a large rug without hauling it to a parcel carrier or managing the logistics yourself? TSI helps customers coordinate rug shipping for oversized, high-value, and specialty pieces, including cherished family heirlooms and Pampa rugs. With professional preparation and access to a nationwide network of shipping partners, we can build a plan around your item, timeline, and destination.
Whether you need to move a delicate heirloom or an expensive modern piece, we know how to handle different kinds of rugs with care.
We regularly ship rugs of all sizes and shapes, from traditional rectangular, square, and oval designs to odd shapes. We'll tailor our approach to match your rug's dimensions and make sure it fits securely in transport.
For especially large or thick items, such as Pampa rugs or other oversized area rugs, we provide custom freight solutions tailored to the rug’s size, weight, and handling needs. Whether your rug is made from a contemporary synthetic material or is a hand-woven Oriental treasure, our professional packers can expertly prepare it for its journey.
Oriental rugs' unique construction and materials call for specific packing processes. Whether you're shipping a Persian rug, a distinctive Turkish rug, or a finely crafted flat-woven prayer rug, our team uses specialized preparation methods for these culturally significant pieces.
We provide elevated service for high-value rugs, like heirloom pieces, designer creations, and custom work. Our movers take a careful approach to antique rug shipping. Older pieces may require specialized handling because of their age, materials, or condition.
We understand that different rug materials require different types of care. For example, wool and silk rugs may require different protective measures because their fibers respond differently to handling and packing. Our experts have the experience to handle everything from wool, braided, and shag rugs to flat-woven and high-pile varieties.

TSI offers different service options based on your shipment’s urgency and level of support.
Our White Glove Consolidated service is ideal for transporting large or antique rugs with added care. It comes with professional preparation of the rug, as well as indoor pickup and delivery. Insurance coverage options may also be available with this service. We recommend White Glove Consolidated for bulky and high-value items. Rolling and hauling heavy rugs can be difficult, and parcel carriers may apply size limits or dimensional weight pricing to bulky shipments.
Our Full Service Expedited option is designed for time-sensitive shipments. With this service, you get your rug shipped faster, as well as full professional packing and indoor pickup for your convenience. Additional insurance coverage options might also be available.
When you choose TSI to ship your rug, you trust a company with deep roots and experience in specialized shipping solutions. Since 1989, we have transported over 41 million pounds of goods, showcasing our commitment to reliable service.
A dedicated logistics specialist will become your single point of contact, personally overseeing your rug's journey from pickup to delivery for peace of mind. We also offer end-to-end services, including expert packing and custom crating for high-value pieces. We can even connect you with local organizers for a smooth experience in your new home.
What is the cost to ship a rug?
The cost will depend on how many rugs you're shipping and their size, as well as distance and any special considerations like antique fibers or custom crating. Shipping a rug alongside other furniture or boxes can make the overall service more cost-effective.
Are my items insured during transit?
Coverage options may be available before shipping, depending on the service you choose. White Glove Consolidated includes professional rug preparation and indoor pickup and delivery, while Full Service Expedited includes expedited timing, full professional packing, and indoor pickup and delivery.
