Sales tax is charged on orders from the following states:

  • Connecticut
  • Massachusetts
  • You will have 5 days to open all cabinets and accessory boxes and inspect for damages and/or defects.

    Depending on the damage, in most cases, a replacement part will be sent, not an entire new cabinet. For example, if a door is cracked, you would receive a new door, not a whole new cabinet. If you received Pre-Assembled cabinets, in some cases, it may be necessary to un- assemble a cabinet or part of a cabinet if it’s required for a replacement part.

    If replacements parts are needed, Express Kitchens is only responsible for providing those parts. We will not reimburse any additional costs of labor incurred by the customer to replace or repair damaged cabinets.

    No, if any cabinets are damaged, please do not assemble these cabinets. The pictures needed by our claims department must be unassembled cabinets. Our customer service team will direct you on what to do.

    If Glass Door Inserts are damaged during shipment, the manufacturers will not re-ship since they would have to ship via Ground and will more than likely be damaged again. If you receive damaged glass, please send pictures and contact customer service at (860)247-1000 and you will be issued a credit so the glass can be cut/purchased locally.

    Express Kitchens will require damaged parts or cabinets to be returned in order for replacements to be sent. These parts must be received in our warehouse within 30 days of receipt of replacement parts (or sooner, if requested), or else you will be charged for all parts.

    Most Ready-to-Assemble orders will ship in 5-10 business days. Pre-Assembled orders will ship in 1-4 weeks.

    Depending on the warehouse location and the freight company used, most transit times to your local freight terminal will be additional 7-10 business days.

    Larger cabinet and full kitchen orders will be shipped with a common freight carrier (the freight carrier will be determined when your order is ready for shipment and you will be emailed this info with you shipment confirmation). Smaller cabinets and accessories may be shipped with FedEx or UPS Ground.

    If shipping to a residential address, it is a curbside, end-of-truck delivery. Curbside, meaning the delivery will be made either at the curb or in your driveway, depending on what the driver deems the easiest and safest way to deliver your order. End of truck, meaning the driver is only responsible for moving the pallet to the end of the truck. From that point, it is the customer’s responsibility to unload the pallet piece by piece.

    Yes but many cabinets will be very large and heavy (in excess of 100 lbs) so having 1 or 2 additional people to help is highly recommended.

    1. It is extremely important that you do a piece count and make sure all ordered pieces are there (unless you’ve been informed of any out-of-stock items). Some pieces may be packaged together, i.e. crown molding, fillers, etc… If you can, open any accessory boxes while the driver is there to make sure all pieces are accounted for, if you’re not able to, mark the Bill of Lading (BOL – shipping paperwork that the driver has) that you weren’t able to verify the piece count in that specific box. If there is anything missing, it must be noted on the BOL. Make sure to get a copy of the BOL with the driver’s signature and that the driver has a copy noting any shortages, we will need a copy sent to us to process your replacement order. If shortages are not noted on the BOL, we will not be able to reship these items for no charge.
    2. In addition to doing a piece count, you want to check each box for visible damage. The trucking company is required to let you check the outside of each box. You do not need to open each box, just check over the outside for cracks, dents, holes, etc… If the driver tells you they will not wait for you to check over the boxes, call the trucking company and explain that you need to note any visible damage on the BOL and the driver is not complying (this is not very common). The number to the trucking company will be on the BOL. All items are checked for damage in the warehouses before being shipped out. However, as soon as the trucking company picks up your order, they are responsible for any damages that occur in transit and will only approve replacements if the damages are noted on the shipping paperwork (Bill of Lading – BOL) on your delivery.

    No, do not refuse any damaged items, just note the damages on the shipping paperwork the driver has, have them sign and make sure you receive a copy. Then Contact Customer Service at 1(860) 247-1000.0
