Sarelli Interiors Textiles International Shipping Capabilities
Sarelli Interiors Textiles ships custom rugs from the Sarelli production facility in Modena, Italy, to more than 50 countries worldwide using DHL Global Forwarding and FedEx Express. The Sarelli logistics team coordinates air freight and sea freight deliveries under Delivered at Place (DAP) or Delivered Duty Paid (DDP) INCOTERMS.
Sarelli packages every Rugs & Carpets order in a 200-micron polyethylene moisture barrier before rolling the carpet around a rigid cardboard core. The Sarelli packing team secures the rolled carpet inside a heavy-duty woven polypropylene outer sleeve. The Sarelli packaging method protects the 4500 GSM New Zealand wool fibers from moisture damage during international transit. Sarelli insures all international shipments at 100 percent of the retail invoice value. Airlines calculate shipping costs based on volumetric weight or actual weight, whichever value is higher. Sarelli calculates the volumetric weight of a rolled carpet by multiplying the length, width, and height of the package in centimeters, then dividing the total by 5000. Buyers can review the Rugs Collection and request specific shipping quotes based on the exact dimensions of the chosen design.
