Ordering
A cabinet I need is out of stock. Can I still order it now and have it shipped when it comes in?
In some cases, there will be certain items out of stock. If this is the case, we will notify you and let you know when it will be in stock. Then you will have the option to:
- Switch the out of stock item(s) to another item that is in stock and ship the order (ex: switch a 15″ drawer base to a regular 15″ base, or a 21×30 wall cabinet to a 18×30 wall cabinet with a 3” filler). If the items being changed result in a higher cost, you would be responsible for the difference and if they are a lesser cost, you would receive a refund for that amount.
- Wait until all items are in, then ship complete
- Cancel the out of stock item(s)
Can I buy just doors?
Unfortunately we do not sell just doors. The only except to that are the decorative end panels, which are actually doors, but they only come in widths that would fit on the sides of the cabinets.
Can I buy replacement parts?
Unfortunately We do not carry replacement parts. The best thing to do if you break something or need to buy a replacement item is to call customer service.
Can I get samples of the cabinets?
If you want to get a sample cabinet to see how they go together or what the quality of the cabinets is like, the best thing to do is to figure out your layout and order the smallest cabinet that you will need. You can order door samples or browse our photo gallery.
Can I make changes to my order once it is placed?
You can always add or subtract from your order once it is placed, but it may delay your order. If you are adding to the order, in some cases we may not have the cabinet(s) at our Houston facility. Call customer service if you need to make any changes to your order.
Can I pick up my order?
Yes, you can pickup your order from our Houston facility, but you still need to place your order online and you will be contacted once your order is ready.
Can my order be expedited?
While some orders may only take 2-3 days, our average processing time is 4-5 business days and we have to go in the order they are received. We have a high volume of orders coming in each week, so we try to process them as fast as possible.
How do I get ‘holds’ removed from my credit card balance?
Holds can be removed by contacting your bank and letting them know that the charge will not be processed. Sometimes they will require that we confirm it, which we will gladly do. Contact customer service for help with this.
How do I get a copy of my receipt?
You can get a copy of your receipt by logging back into your account.
How long does it take to process an order?
The average processing time is 4-5 business days, but this can change based on volume and when we are shuttling product between warehouses. Since we have two facilities we do not always have all of the cabinets for an order in one location.
I placed an order, but my credit card hasn’t been charged yet. Why?
When an order is placed, we only authorize a transaction. We don’t actually charge it until the order is placed with the manufacturer. Your order will remain as a pending charge until the order is placed with the manufacturer.
If you carry a 3 months supply, why are some cabinets out of stock?
Since it takes several months for product to arrive at our facility, we try to plan/forecast several months ahead. With the continued growth and not having a consistent order pattern, we sometimes run out of certain items in each style, but constantly have containers coming from the factory.
Is there a restocking fee?
Yes, there is a 30% restocking fee.
Is there tax on my order?
If you live in Texas, there is sales tax.
There are multiple pending charges on my credit card. Why?
If you attempted to process your order multiple times, you may see multiple charges pending. This is true for both processing orders and adding/subtracting items from an existing order. Every time an attempt is made to process your credit card, even if it is declined, that money is reserved by your bank. This money is just pending and will be returned to your account in a couple of days.
What if I want to cancel my order and it has already shipped, but I have not received it yet?
If you need to cancel your order that is in transit to you, we would need to contact the freight company to have it returned to the warehouse. You would be responsible for any return shipping fees being charged by the freight company, in addition to the initial shipping charge you paid when placing the order and a 30% restocking fee. Once the order is returned to the warehouse, you will be refunded less the shipping and restocking fees.
What form of payments do you take?
We take Visa, Mastercard, Discover, American Express, Quickpay, and Cash if you are paying at our Houston facility. We currently do not accept personal checks. Please contact customer service to pay with Quickpay.
Why was my credit card declined?
To protect our customers from fraud, we have a high level of security on our merchant services account. A card can be declined for a mismatch in the name/address, daily limit, or a limit on the amount for internet transactions. Normally we are provided with a reason, but in some cases, you will have to contact your credit card company to find out why.
Will you help me with my layout?
Yes! Cabinets.Deals offers a free design service to all of our clients. There are no hidden fees or binding obligations. All you have to do is email us the dimensions or photo of your kitchen and one of our designers will work with you to create your dream kitchen.

Shipping, Delivery, & Returns
Can I handle my own shipping?
We work with 3rd party logistics companies, that allow us to get some low rates on shipping. We try to get the best rates possible for our customers, but if you are able to get a better rate, you can certainly handle your own shipping. If you want to handle your own shipping, you will be responsible for creating the paperwork, arranging the pickup, and filing any claims.
Can I request items to be shipped UPS/Fedex to save on shipping?
We do allow customers to waive liability on larger items if you want to ship them UPS/Fedex. We do not encourage it, and UPS/Fedex will not honor a claim if damaged, but you can contact customer service if you are interested in waiving liability to ship it parcel and they will tell you how to proceed.
Do you have your own trucks?
No, we do not. We utilize a network of third party carriers that allow us to ship product cheaper than if we utilized our own trucks.
How do I track a shipment?
Once an order is shipped, you will receive a tracking number. You can track the order on the carriers website, or through your order on our website.
How long do I have to file a claim?
Any visible damage must be noted on the delivery receipt while the driver is present. After that, you have 48 hours to open the boxes and inspect for concealed damage.
I am missing an item, what should I do?
It is important to count everything while the driver is present. In some cases, accessories may be packaged together, so don’t always go by the packing slip. If something is missing, note it on the delivery receipt and file a claim on the website by logging into your account and opening up your order.
I filed a claim online, but didn’t receive a response. Why?
In some cases, it may take a couple of days for our claims department to research a claim, search for parts, and get you a response. We know that any type of damages can be a burden for our customers, so we try to process them as fast as possible. If you feel that your claim wasn’t received, please contact our claims department and they can give you more information.

The box looked fine, but when I opened it up, there was damage. What do I do?
This is considered concealed damage, and can happen in transit without anyone knowing. This is why it is important to inspect each box within 48 hrs. If you discover concealed damage, please report it immediately.
The instructions say I need corner brackets for my vanity, but I didn’t receive any. What do I do?
In the past, vanities came with corner brackets. Since they are not needed when installing granite or any solid surface countertops, they really are no longer needed. We do have some if you are installing a laminate top, but if not, they will not be needed since they are not structural.
The shipping rate changed from a month ago. Why?
Our shipping rates are based on real time rates from a network of over a dozen carriers, so rates could fluctuate. We can not guarantee a shipping rate until an order is placed.
What does Roadside delivery include?
Roadside delivery can sometimes be different from carrier to carrier, but it is intended to provide residential delivery to your roadside. Not all trucking companies have a liftgate on their trucks, so some times it will include placement on the ground, other times you will be required to assist the driver in getting the cabinets down off the truck (which is why it is important to have someone there to assist you).
Why can’t some cabinets be shipped UPS/Fedex?
Due to the size, weight, and fragile nature of some of the cabinets, we discourage sending them UPS or Fedex. We have identified the items that they tend to damage more frequently than others, and try not to ship those items unless they are on a pallet.
Why won’t the driver put the cabinets in my house/garage?
We use common carriers for all of our deliveries, not moving companies, which would charge a lot more for the same service. Because of that, the driver is only required to provide roadside delivery.
Can I return an item I received?
Do I need to be there when the shipment arrives?
Do I need to be there when the shipment arrives?
Yes. It is important to have someone available who is also capable of helping unload the cabinets. The order should be fully inspected to ensure that any damages are noted on the delivery receipt.
Do you ship to Canada?
Yes, we do ship to Canada, but we do not factor in duties or taxes.
Do you ship to my state?
