Shipping Policy
Where we ship
We ship to the 48 contiguous United States, to both residential and commercial addresses.
Alaska: Fabuwood orders can ship to Alaska. Our other brands cannot. Alaska freight is quoted separately, so please contact us for a rate before you place the order.
Hawaii and international: we do not ship to Hawaii, and we do not ship outside the United States.
Shipping rates
Your rate depends on what you order, not on where you live. Every rate below is a flat rate within the 48 contiguous states.
| What you are ordering | Shipping |
|---|---|
| Cabinet door samples | Free |
| Parts, fillers, toe kicks and moldings 48" or shorter | $49, free on orders of $750 or more |
| Cabinets, panels and moldings longer than 48" | $199, free on orders of $750 or more |
| Jarlin cabinetry | $350 |
Jarlin orders ship on a separate freight rate and are not eligible for the free shipping threshold. If your cart mixes Jarlin with another brand, you may see more than one shipping charge at checkout because the brands ship from different warehouses.
Oversized orders, difficult delivery access or remote destinations can occasionally require an additional charge. If that applies to your order we will contact you with the exact amount before we process anything. You will never be billed a surprise freight charge after the fact.
Processing and transit times
Most stock orders ship within 2 to 3 business days. Actual availability varies by brand and finish, and a small number of finishes are made to order. If anything in your order will take longer, we will tell you before it ships.
Transit time is separate from processing time and depends on how far the shipment travels. Freight carriers typically contact you to schedule a delivery appointment.
Receiving your delivery
Cabinet orders move by freight on a pallet, so a few minutes of care at delivery protects you completely.
- Inspect the shipment before you sign for it whenever possible.
- Walk around the pallet and check every carton for crushing, punctures or water staining.
- Photograph anything that looks wrong while the driver is still there.
- Write any visible damage on the freight bill before the driver leaves. This is the single most important step, because a signed clean delivery receipt makes a carrier claim far harder.
Plan for help at delivery. Cabinet pallets are heavy and the driver is not responsible for moving product into your home.
Damage and defects
If anything arrives damaged or defective, contact us within 7 days of delivery. Send photos of the damaged item, the carton it arrived in, and the shipping label. We file the replacement claim with the manufacturer for you, at no cost.
Reporting after 7 days makes claims difficult, so please open the cartons and check the contents even if you are not installing right away.
Natural variation in wood doors
Wood is a natural material and it responds to the humidity around it. Slight differences in grain, colour depth and movement between doors are normal and are not defects. This is expected in any real wood product and is why doors from different production runs will never be perfectly identical.
Let your cabinets acclimate in the room where they will live before judging door alignment, and confirm that installation and adjustment are correct before requesting a replacement. Doors that fall within the manufacturer's published tolerance are covered by that manufacturer's warranty terms rather than replaced as damage.
