Great Cabinets, Miserable Shipping Company
Our experience with The Cabinet Spot company itself was great! Their cabinets are ready-to-assemble (RTA), but are made with care and precision. The joints in the face frames were almost invisible! There were a few defects in the fit of the doors, but they remedied that asap. They were willing to hold our order until we were ready to receive it, but when we were ready, they shipped it out immediately. Our one BIG problem was with the shipping company they used. That company made 4 appointments to deliver and cancelled three of them. The first one we cancelled because they tried to deliver the shipment at 7pm — an hour later than the 10am to 6pm time slot we were told to expect — and in pitch-black darkness. We had already left the construction site after waiting there all day and they called and asked if we could go back and “turn on a light” because the delivery guy couldn’t find the property. This is a construction site in a rural area—there are no lights! We specifically called at 5pm and told them not to deliver after dark, but were ignored. We finally decided to drive our two pickup trucks a round trip of 2 hours (85 miles) to pick up the 2 pallets and one long package ourselves. At first they couldn’t locate the order, then after a long wait, deposited it into our trucks. We had to offload the individual boxes from the pallets because they had broken the base pallets and they were too unstable to transport. When we did that, we noticed—and documented—that several of the boxes had been impaled by pieces of the broken pallet, causing severe damage to the cabinets. The Cabinet Spot asked for documentation which we supplied, then they very promptly replaced the cabinets. They were very responsive and apologetic, even though the problem was not of their making. I hope they rethink the company they use for shipping in the future. I know this doesn’t sound like a stellar review, but The Cabinet Spot would have gotten 5 stars from me, if their shipping company hadn’t been so awful.
