Full Cabinet orders or single pieces larger than 48 inches wide
The cabinets are packaged unassembled in individual boxes and placed onto a shrink wrapped pallet. The cabinets will be shipped via common carrier (Yellow/Roadway, R&L, USF, etc.) using the most efficient provider based both on estimated time and price. The cabinets can be shipped to businesses with or without a loading dock, residences, and construction sites. A person will need to be on site to inspect and sign for the shipment. A lift-gate is included on all residential deliveries and available for commercial deliveries if needed. The driver is only responsible for placing the pallet onto the ground on residential deliveries or commercial deliveries without a dock or forklift. All destinations must be tractor trailer accessible. Shipping and handling charges cover one delivery attempt to customer. In the event that due to customer availability or other customer circumstance, an order is not deliverable, the customer will be responsible for additional shipping and handling. If there are any problems concerning the delivery please contact us as soon as possible. All shipments should be thoroughly inspected for damage by the buyer or the buyer’s designated recipient before the shipment is accepted.
