If you are about to buy a Curio Cabinet on the internet read this. Most sites on the internet selling curio cabinets are brick and mortar stores that use the internet to facilitate their in-store sales. If you are not in the market area of that store then your curio cabinet will be shipped to you by freight line. In most cases it will be drop shipped from the manufacturer to you. You will be responsible for setting up the curio cabinet in your house. No matter how easy they tell you it is, it is still delicate cabinetry that requires attention and care. Most sites will tell you that the freight in-home set up is extra. Even if they ship it for in-home delivery, the delivery person will be a freight line employee who may or may not be qualified to set up your cabinet. Curio cabinets as a furniture class have the highest frequency of freight damage of any furniture class. If the curio cabinet arrives damaged and you have signed to accept delivery you are responsible for solving all freight claims. The freight claim process will be with the freight line, not the company you purchased the item from. Our experience has been that freight lines do not like buying curio cabinets. The process is time consuming with no guarantee that the customer will be reimbursed in the end. We avoid this problem, by personally handling the delivery with our employee in our truck anywhere from Maine to California.
Most of the curio cabinets that are sold on the internet are the same cabinets that are sold in brick and mortar stores all over the country. Some of the manufacturers have a policy that tell the www-sites they can only list their curio cabinets at 40% off of their suggested retail meaning that you cannot get a better price than 40% off of their suggested retail. Many manufacturers ban listing of any prices on the internet. Remember that 95% of all curio cabinets sold in the United States are still sold through the traditional brick and mortar channels. No manufacturer is going to allow the www-site to have a significant pricing advantage over their traditional brick and mortar channels.
