RTA Cabinets Ordering, Shipping & Return Policies
ORDER CHANGES/CANCELLATIONS
*After 1 business day from placing
your cabinet order, changes/cancellations cannot be made and the order will be
processed and shipped as originally ordered. Door sample orders cannot be
changed/canceled*
If a shipping address is changed after an order ships or if an address was
entered incorrectly on an order and needs to be changed after shipment, most
freight companies will charge a fee. Please be sure to ask the freight company
about any applicable charges before changing a shipping address because you
will be responsible for any fees billed to Monarch Home Furnishings. In
addition, the freight companies will call you to schedule the delivery of your
cabinet order (except for orders that ship Ground, in that case, no one needs
to be home). You must be home for the delivery, if not, the freight companies
will charge a re-delivery fee which you will be responsible for. Any additional
delivery fees charged by the freight companies will be the responsibility of
the customer who placed and paid for the order.
WHEN YOU CAN EXPECT YOUR CABINETS
AFTER PLACING AN ORDER:
Various finishes ship out of
different warehouses throughout the USA. If you are ordering multiple finishes,
you may receive separate shipments depending on which warehouses they are being
shipped from. You will receive confirmation emails whenever your order (or part
of your order) has shipped.
We need credit card
authorization before any order can be processed so your credit card will be
charged when your order is placed. Most Ready to Assemble cabinet
orders are in stock and will ship in 3-15 business days. Already Assembled
cabinet orders will ship in 3 weeks. Depending on the warehouse your cabinets
are shipping from, transit time can be an additional 1-6 business days. 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:
1) Ship all in-stock items right
away and the out-of-stock item(s) when they come in and you will be responsible
for the additional shipping charges
2) Wait until all items are in, then
ship
3) Cancel the out of stock item(s)
4) 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 W2130 to a W1830 with a 3�
filler).
Quick Checklist for shortages or damages upon your delivery (please also
read below for more details on how to accept your delivery and report any
damages or shortages):
- Mark both copies of the bill of lading (not packing
list) clearly as to what is damaged or missing
- Have the delivery driver initial item(s) that are
damaged or missing and sign both copies of the Bill of Lading (make sure
you get a copy).
- Take pictures of damaged boxes and contents.
- A signed copy of the Bill of Lading, marked 'freight
damage or shortage' and pictures, are required before any
replacements or missing pieces will be mailed out.
WHAT YOUR DELIVERY WILL ENTAIL:
We use multiple freight companies to
ship our products. If shipping to a residential address, it is a curbside, end
of truck delivery. 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 (this is a
perfect time to do a piece count and inspect each box as noted below). No lift
gate will be used unless specifically requested by the customer. The lift gate
is just a type of 'elevator' on the back of the freight truck that lowers the
pallet onto the curb. You would then unload the pallet from the curb as opposed
to the back of the truck. Most freight companies will charge for this service,
so please make sure to ask how much it would be before accepting the lift gate
or any other service the shipping company offers you. Also, please make sure
you have someone to help you accept the delivery if you are not able to
move/lift the boxes by yourself, since the driver will not be responsible for
unloading any boxes.
WHAT TO DO WHEN YOU RECEIVE YOUR
DELIVERY:
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). Realize 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) that you weren�t able to
verify the piece count in the 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 any items.
In addition to doing a piece count,
you want to check each box for visible damage. The trucking company has to let
you do this, 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 giving you a hard time
(this is not very common). The number to the trucking company will be on the
BOL. The boxes are checked 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. We do try and pick the best trucking
companies but in the unlikely event damages do occur in transit, you must
report it to Monarch Home Furnishings within 48 hours. If it is not reported
within 48 hours the trucking company will not acknowledge any damages that may
have been made, and we will not be able to replace any damaged pieces without
charging you. If any part of your order arrives with visible damage, it is
imperative that you note the damages on the BOL and have the driver sign.
Again, make sure you get a copy and that the driver has a copy with the noted
damage.
IF THERE ARE ANY DAMAGES:
If there are any visible damages to
the packaging, it must be noted on the BOL. Do not refuse the shipment if pieces are damaged, just
make sure to note all damages on the BOL with the driver. Many times, damaged
boxes do not mean the contents are damaged. If, for some reason, a damaged
piece is refused on delivery, be sure to accept all cabinets that are in good
condition and do not refuse the entire order because this will delay the
process to get new cabinets shipped out. If the contents of any boxes are also
damaged, please be sure to take pictures of the damaged packaging along with
the damaged items. If all boxes arrive in good condition, you then have 48
hours to open inspect the contents. If any parts are damaged, please email us a
description of the damage along with supporting pictures, and the copy of the
BOL to: sales@monarchhomefurnishings.com.
As long as visible damage was noted on the BOL, your claim should be processed
relatively quickly and replacements sent out (5-7 business days). If it was
concealed damage, claims may take a little bit longer but we will work as
quickly as possible to resolve the issues for you. Due to manufacturer
guidelines, damage claims and replacement parts will not be honored for
cabinets that have already been assembled and/or installed. If Glass Door
Inserts or Glass Shelves are damaged during shipment, the manufacturers will
not re-ship since they would have to go via Ground and will more than likely be
damaged again. If you receive damaged glass, please send pictures and let our
office know within 24 hours and you will be issued a credit so the glass can be
cut/purchased locally.
Some manufacturers will require
damaged parts or cabinets to be returned in order for replacements to be sent.
These parts/cabinets must be returned to the manufacturer if requested or
you will be charged for the cost of the replacement parts/cabinets. Returns
must be received within 30 days of receipt of replacement parts (or sooner, if
requested), or else you will be charged for all parts. The manufacturer charges
for replacements if the damaged parts aren't received back within 30 days, so
unfortunately, if the damaged parts aren't returned within 30 days, Monarch
Home Furnishings will have to charge you for those replacements. If
replacements parts are deemed necessary, Monarch Home Furnishings is only responsible
for providing those parts, we will not be able to reimburse any additional
costs of labor incurred by the customer to replace or repair damaged cabinets. Different
finishes ship from different warehouses throughout the USA, so please be sure
to confirm the return address before returning anything. If they
are returned to the wrong location, we won't be able to replace the damaged
parts for no charge.
RETURNS:
***RTA
cabinets that are shipped assembled or modified (ex: cabinets cut for glass)
may not be returned for any reason***
Cabinets can only be returned if
they are still unopened in the original packaging. You must notify Monarch Home
Furnishings within 24 hours if you wish to return anything, and we must receive
the items back within 7 days of receipt. Please contact us for the return
address, as many finishes are shipped from different warehouses.
Please
send all DOOR SAMPLE returns to:
Monarch
Home Furnishings

If cabinets are being returned, please contact customer service to see what
address to return them to. If cabinets/accessories are returned to the
incorrect address, you may not be able to receive a refund, or may only be able
to receive a partial refund.
If an order is canceled in transit,
you will be responsible for the shipping cost as well as the return shipping
costs and will be subject to a 35% restocking fee. Monarch Home Furnishings cannot
accepts returns on accessories (this includes, but is not limited to: crown,
toe kicks, fillers, end panels, valances, refrigerator/dishwasher panels,
mullion doors, anything else listed under cabinet accessories) for any reason
due to how easily they can be damaged during return shipment. You will be
refunded within 10 business days after we receive the shipment back and inspect
it. If we find that there are damages due to transit, your refund may take a
bit longer until a proper inspection by the trucking company can occur, and you
may need to file a freight claim.
Any order that is returned for any
reason will be subject to a 35% restocking fee and the customer will be
responsible for the return and initial shipping costs. If there are damages, Monarch
Home Furnishings will supply replacement parts/cabinets according to the damage
policy above. However, if you do not wish to receive replacement parts/cabinets
and request to return an entire order (all or partially damaged), you are
responsible for the return shipping and sending Monarch Home Furnishings the
BOL (Bill of Lading) noting the damages (signed by the delivery driver) and
pictures of the damages. Please send Monarch Home Furnishings your return
shipping invoice showing the shipping charge so it can also be included in the
claim. Upon return, the damage will be inspected and a claim will be filed with
the freight company. The claim will need to be settled in Monarch Home
Furnishing�s favor before any refund can be issued. If the claim is denied, Monarch
Home Furnishings will be unable to issue any refund on damaged pieces. The
return shipping will also be reimbursed if the full claim amount is approved. If
a partial claim amount is approved, that amount will be reimbursed to you. All
cabinets being returned (damaged or not) are subject to the 35% restocking fee.
Upon approval of the freight claim, the 35% restocking fee for the damaged
cabinets only (fee for the non-damaged cabinets will still apply), will also be
reimbursed to you.
In the event that any mistakes are made in measuring or if any finish/cabinet
quality is not what you expected, we cannot be held liable. We strongly
encourage you to order a door sample before purchasing a kitchen. If you
receive your delivery and realize it is the wrong size (due to measurement
mistake) and/or color (not what you expected) we will be happy to refund or
replace your order but you will be responsible for return and initial shipping
charges and will be subject to a 35% restocking fee. It is very important to
make sure that you measure your space accurately, and that you double check
your cabinet order before placing order.
IF WE SHIP THE WRONG PIECE:
If the wrong size and/or color is
shipped to you incorrectly, please contact us within 24 hours at 855-458-8272
