Packing And Preparation
Cabinets are made from various types of materials. They can be made from wood, metal, and laminate. Some cabinets have components of plastic or glass on them. Due to the susceptibility of damage to cabinets with these types of materials, it’s important to properly package them for transit.
What packing materials should be used for shipping cabinets?
- heavy duty cardboard boxes
- wooden crates
- bubble wrap
- foam padding
- corner protectors
If it is possible, the cabinets should be disassembled and wrapped in protective materials like bubble wrap or foam padding. The cabinets should be carefully placed in sturdy cardboard boxes or crates.
If the cabinets have glass components to them, ensure they are safely secured and wrapped in protective materials. The hardware for the cabinets should be packaged separately in boxes and labeled accordingly.
Shipping Methods
The method of shipping you want to use is entirely up to you. Our FreightCenter experts will help to point you in the right direction. Some standard methods for shipping cabinets include:
- Shipment goes by truck to and from pickup to drop-off locations.
- Your shipment does share a truck with other LTL freight.
- This is the most popular, cost-effective, timely, and reliable method of transportation
- This method is ideal for unpackaged items, flatbeds, and other special accommodations for oversized or overweight freight.
- It is the least cost-effective, but requires no truck transfer (loading and unloading between pickup and delivery).
- This method is reserved for medium-sized loads that require running feet of a truck and are booked based on volume.

Special Considerations
To choose the best shipping method, it’s important to note any special considerations. To ensure that the shipment is covered from damage, loss or theft, it’s important to consider insuring the cabinets. This way, you can avoid any financial loss.
Sometimes, shipments need accessorials in order to safely be delivered. Consider whether your cabinet shipment may need a liftgate service or if you may want inside delivery.
If shipping antique or fragile cabinets, you may want to consider white glove service. Although it’s an additional cost, white glove service offers the highest level of care and attention to detail to the items being shipped. White glove service includes extra padding, specialized handling, removal of the items, and installation or assembly.
It’s crucial to notify the agent of these additional needs when shipping cabinets so that they can ensure your cabinets are delivered with ease.
Cost Factors
Shipping insurance and any added accessorials can contribute to any additional costs of shipping cabinets.
However, the cost of shipping cabinets can depend on the distance, dimensions and weight of the shipment, materials used, and method of transportation.
