Check-In / Pick-Up / Shipping Your Rugs for the Exhibit...

Checking-In Rugs for the Exhibit... Pre-registered rugs must be brought to Founder's Hall for check-in on Monday, August 16, 2010 from 1:00 - 5:00 pm. A claim ticket will be issued for each piece (which will serve as owner identification) and it must be presented at check-out in order to pick up the rug. Do not bring hang rods or hardware with your pieces. Guilds are encouraged to designate a representative(s) to bring your group's rugs to check-in. Picking-Up Rugs after the Exhibit... Exhibit rugs will be ready for pick-up from 5:30 - 6:30 pm on Saturday, August 21, 2010. The claim ticket issued at check-in must be presented at checkout in order to pick up your rug. If someone else is picking up your rug, please be sure that they have your claim ticket so that they can checkout your rug on your behalf. Shipping Rugs for the Exhibit... While personal delivery and pick-up of your exhibit entry is the best, you may ship your pre-registered pieces in advance if necessary. All shipped rugs will be stored unopened until Monday, August 16, 2010, when they will be opened and prepared by experienced rug handlers for check-in.

If UPS is absolutely not an option for you, please contact our shipping coordinator, Debbi Russell at drussell@saudervillage.org or at 419-446-2541 ext. 3089 in advance to discuss alternatives, including FedEx Express or the US Postal Service. A prepaid UPS return shipping label (we suggest including insurance coverage and delivery or signature confirmation) must be sent with your rug when you ship it to us. A 3rd party shipping account number referenced on the return-shipping label is also an option. The packaging (box or tube) that you used to send your rug(s) to us in must be reusable to return ship the rug(s) back in, which is why it’s so important to use a new, strong and sturdy container. No CODs. It is not an option to supply a credit card number for return shipment. For Canadian and other International shipments, please confirm with the carrier what documents need to be sent to us with your rug(s) for return shipment to you. These documents will likely include a Customs Declaration or International Waybill, three copies of a commercial invoice declaring the value and origin of the rug(s), and the appropriate wording to include on the exterior of the container to ensure the item is returned to you duty free and will clear Customs quickly (Return Shipping Declaration - CANADA GOOD BEING RETURNED TO CANADA. RUG BEING RETURNED TO OWNER. NO DUTY OR TAXES APPLICABLE). Please be sure to: get a tracking number and insure your rug(s).
