Do I need to use wood glue to assemble the cabinets?

Yes, our Quick Ship lines do require wood glue. For all other lines it would not hurt to add glue to the joints, however we leave this judgment call up to the customer.

Do I need toe kick?

Most of our cabinets and vanities come with a piece of toe kick (nailing block), which is not decorative. We recommend buying toe kicks to create a uniform look across the front to hide the seams where the cabinets connect.

Do you carry the glass doors?

We offer both mullion doors and open faced doors for our cabinets. Depending on the cabinet line will determine if it comes with glass or does not. For those that do not come with glass it allows you to pick your own style of glass. A member of our design team will be happy to review the cabinet lines that offer glass doors. You can reach out to our design team at 800.580.5535.

How do I install crown molding?

Each cabinet style will require a different installation method for the crown. Depending on whether it is full overlay or ¾ overlay, you may be able to attach the crown to the face frame, or you will have to attach it directly to the top of the cabinet. For additional help, YouTube is a great resource for instructional videos.

How high are the vanities?

Vanity heights vary depending on the cabinet line. They range from 30″ to 32⅝″ to 34½″ tall. To verify the height please check the product description.

How much space do I need to leave for the blind base cabinet?

For most of the cabinet lines the blind base needs to be installed 6″ away from the wall and will also have a maximum pull. Please review the specific cabinet specifications to be sure you are accounting for the correct amount of space. For further instruction please visit our assembly page.

What do I do if my plumbing interferes with the drawers on my vanity?

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?

We have a full kitchen design tool built into the website, but if you would like to work one on one with a professional designer please reach out to our design team for further assistance at design@rtacabinetstore.com or via our free kitchen design help form.

How many sample doors can I order in a style?

Customers are allowed a quantity of 1 sample per style.

How do I check my order status?

Visit the order status page and enter your order number and zip code to see the most up to date information.

Can I make changes to my order once it is placed?

Unfortunately, you are not able to make changes to your order once they are submitted online. Once submitted, your order is sent to our warehouses to be processed and shipped as quickly as possible. Please make sure to confirm your order before submitting online. If any questions arise, just reach out to your designated designer or our support team.
*Order changes are only allowed when there is an out of stock item on the order and the item is being replaced.

Can my order be expedited?

No, however we do offer cabinets that are available for Quick Ship. With our quick ship guarantee your order will ship in 3 business days, or we pay you for the delay.

How do I get a copy of my receipt?

You can get a copy of your receipt by logging back into your account.

How do I track a shipment?

Once an order is shipped, you will receive a tracking number via email. You can track the order on the carriers website, or through your order on our website.

How long does it take to process an order?

Orders are processed as soon as the order is placed online.

I placed an order, but my credit card hasn't been charged yet. Why?

When an order is placed, we only authorize a transaction. Your order will remain as a pending charge until the order has been processed.
*Depending on the card issuer the pending charge will fall off within one to two business days. Upon shipment of the order the card will be charged.

I received a message saying the shipping calculator is down. What should I do?

Since we use a 3rd party software program, occasionally the shipping calculator may go down. If you are having problems with the shipping calculator, please contact our design team and they can provide you with a shipping quote.

Is there tax on my order?

RTA Cabinet Store is required to collect sales tax in over 20 states within the US. If your state requires that sales tax be collected, you will see a line item on the checkout screen before you place your order.

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 will fluctuate. We cannot guarantee a shipping rate until an order is placed.

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 does the limited warranty cover?

The warranty covers any manufacturing defects or issues that occur once the cabinets are installed. We are not liable for issues that arise from improper installation or assembly. While it occasionally happens, we very rarely have any issues with the cabinets once they are installed.

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.

A card can be declined for a mismatch in the name/address, daily limit, or a limit on the amount for internet transactions.

A cabinet I need is out of stock. Can I still order it now and have it shipped when it comes in?

Yes, you can but out of stock dates are subject to change and can be pushed out due to manufacturing and shipping delays with our distribution partners.

A cabinet I need is out of stock. How long will it take for you to get it in?

The date displayed on our website is the most up-to-date information we have for out of stock items. Our system is updated daily with updated information. If you place an order that contains an out of stock item, you will receive email notifications with updates in regards to the items.

Can I handle my own shipping?

It is not advisable to handle your own shipping as it is expensive. We work with a third party logistics company to get the best competitive rates for our customers. This equals savings for you and less hassle.

How do I track a shipment?

Once an order is shipped, you will receive a tracking number via email. You can track the order on the carriers website, or through your order on our website.

Can I pick up my order from the main warehouse?

We are not offering order pickups at this time.

What is a Quick Ship Guarantee?

If you have ordered from our Quick Ship cabinet lines, the orders leave the warehouse within 3 business days for orders placed prior to 12pm ET. For orders placed after 12pm ET, the following day will be considered the order date. This does not include assembled cabinets, back ordered items marked at the time of ordering, lost or damaged items occurring from shipping, significant weather events, holidays, carrier embargos or other unforeseen issues out of RTA's control.

Do you have your own trucks?

No, we do not. Instead, we utilize a network of third party carriers. Please note all third party carriers deliver to addresses within the continental United States.

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. Click here to file a claim.

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. Click here to file a claim.

My shipment was damaged, what should I do?

If your shipment is damaged, it is very important to note it on the delivery receipt and take photos of the damaged freight. As soon as you discover the damage, file a claim on the website by logging into your account and noting it on the order. Click here to file a claim.

The box looked fine, but when I opened it up, there was damage. What should 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. Click here to file a claim.

What does curbside delivery include?

Curbside delivery can sometimes be different from carrier to carrier, but it is intended to provide residential delivery to your curb. Not all trucking companies have a liftgate on their trucks, so sometimes 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).

What does the limited warranty cover?

The warranty covers any manufacturing defects or issues that occur once the cabinets are installed. We are not liable for issues that arise from improper installation or assembly. While it occasionally happens, we very rarely have any issues with the cabinets once they are installed.

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 curbside delivery.

Can I change my shipping address after my order has shipped?

Yes, for a fee the order can be redirected to a new address. There is a flat fee of $55 plus the cost of the additional distance.
