Cancellation by Kitchen Pro Equipment
Cancellation by Kitchen Pro Equipment
We retain the right to cancel any order, issue refunds, provide store credits, or arrange for reshipment at our discretion, without prior notice. Additionally, Kitchen Pro Equipment reserves the right to refuse service, terminate user accounts, and revoke your access to our website, mobile website, or mobile application services (collectively referred to as "Services"). Should such action be taken, we will not offer any form of reimbursement related to the termination, except in cases where the termination is associated with conduct that we determine, at our discretion, to be in violation of our policies, any applicable laws, fraudulent or abusive use of Kitchen Pro Equipment Services, or actions that may harm our interests or those of other users.
Order Modification
Order Modification
Once your order is placed, we cannot guarantee that it can be modified. If you find the need to modify your order, we kindly request that you contact us as soon as possible. It's important to note that customized products are exempt from modifications, cancellations, and returns.
Online Security
Online Security
The security of our customers' online transactions is of paramount importance to us. To uphold this commitment, we subject all orders to rigorous security checks before commencing the processing phase. We appreciate your understanding of this precautionary measure, as it may result in a slight delay for a small percentage of orders. Should additional information be necessary to verify the validity of an order, our team will promptly reach out to you via email.
Payment Methods
Accepted Credit Cards (Preferred Method)
Accepted Credit Cards (Preferred Method)
For the quickest and easiest checkout experience, we recommend using a major credit card. We accept the following credit cards:
- MasterCard
- Visa
- American Express
- Discover
You can also use most prepaid credit cards as long as they have been registered with a billing address. Please note that only a single credit card may be used to process each order.
Alternative Payments (Check, Money Order, ACH, Wire Transfer)
Alternative Payments (Check, Money Order, ACH, Wire Transfer)
For orders totaling $500.00 or more, we offer alternative payment options, including:
- Check
- Money Order
- ACH (Automated Clearing House)
- Wire Transfer
Please be aware that orders paid using these methods will be placed on hold until payment has been received and cleared. The specific details for each alternative payment method are as follows:
Personal checks are processed on Tuesdays and Fridays and will be held for 5 business days from processing to allow for clearance.
All other alternative payment orders will be released as soon as the payment is received, with a minimum delay of 1 business day to verify payment.
Charges and Authorizations
When you place an order with us, your credit card will be charged immediately. An authorization is initially placed on your bank account to ensure the availability of funds. These authorizations may appear as "pending" on your bank statement until the funds are captured. Once the card is charged for the order, the authorization will be removed from your bank statement, typically within 1-2 business days.
Please note that the duration of authorizations for pending transactions varies among credit and debit card providers. If your order has an extended lead time, our Payments team may contact you to request an early charge to prevent the expiration of the authorization. It's important to be aware that authorizations or pending transactions may affect your bank account balance and could lead to overdraft fees. Kitchen Pro Equipment assumes no liability for any such fees resulting from these authorizations.
Currency
Currency
All prices displayed on our website are listed in US Dollars ($). If you place an order from outside the United States, the funds captured for your order will be converted to the local currency of your country as reflected on your credit card statement. The exchange rate is determined at the time of order shipment, not when the order is placed. Additionally, credit card companies may apply a currency conversion fee, so we recommend contacting your card issuer for further information.
Order Communication
Order Communication
As an e-commerce company, our primary mode of communication is through email. All updates and communications regarding your order will be sent to the email address provided during the order placement process. Therefore, we kindly request that you ensure the accuracy and validity of the email address provided when making your purchase.
Sales Tax
Sales Tax
It is your responsibility to ensure that you or your organization is eligible for tax exemption. If you are uncertain about your eligibility, please consult a tax professional for advice before proceeding.
Please only upload your tax exemption documents if we currently charge tax in the state(s) you plan to ship to. As of now, sales tax will be charged on orders shipping to the state of Florida.
Review the information below carefully. Incomplete or incorrect documents cannot be accepted, and you will be asked to complete the form correctly and in its entirety.
We need documentation on file to attach to your account before we can review it for tax exemption. A tax ID number alone will not suffice.
You are responsible for providing the correct and completed forms and knowing the rules and responsibilities of making tax-exempt purchases or purchases for resale. The tax exemption team is unable to edit tax documents on your behalf. Any documents requiring additional information will need to be completed by the purchaser. Ensure all information in your documentation is legible. If we cannot read the information on the form, we are unable to accept it.
If your account is set up as tax-exempt for all orders shipping to Florida due to reselling, manufacturing, or another special tax circumstance, please note that all orders placed through the account that ship to Florida will automatically have the tax exemption applied. There is no option to alter which items/orders are eligible/ineligible for exemption at checkout. If you plan to place orders that do not qualify for tax exemption, please do so using a non-exempt account.
Note that tax exemption is reviewed for each state individually. This means that if you have a tax exemption form for a specific state, it is valid only for orders shipping to that state.
Please allow 4-6 business days for our Tax Team to respond via email to your request.
It is your responsibility to ensure that the email address on file with your account is active and the best email to reach you. Kitchen Pro Equipment will not assume responsibility for providing tax exemption on applicable orders if we do not receive a reply from you in the event that additional information or documentation is requested.
Store Credit
Store Credit
If your payment was made using wire transfer, ACH, or check, any refund processed will be issued in the form of store credit. In cases where we are unable to process a refund to your original payment method (for instance, if your credit or debit card has been closed), you will also receive a refund in the form of store credit.
Please note that store credit can only be redeemed for merchandise or services offered online and has no cash value. Additional restrictions may apply, so feel free to reach out to our Customer Solutions Team if you have any questions or require further assistance.
Pricing
Manufacturer's Price Increases
Manufacturer's Price Increases
On our product pages, you will find information about known and upcoming manufacturers' price increases. While we strive to obtain this information in advance, there may be instances where our manufacturers do not provide notice of price increases prior to the effective date. In such cases, for pending orders with alternate payment arrangements or orders that have not been fully paid, we reserve the right to apply manufacturers' price increases to the order total.
If we receive notification of a manufacturers' price increase for an unpaid order, we will promptly contact you to communicate the adjusted price, any additional payment required, and the due date for that payment. Should you choose not to provide the additional payment required, we will regretfully cancel the order and initiate a full refund. To ensure that you receive the most accurate pricing on your order, we recommend paying in full before the effective date of any price increase.

Price Adjustment for Services Errors
Price Adjustment for Services Errors
Please be aware that all prices are subject to change without prior notice. In the rare event that a product is listed at an incorrect price due to an error on our Services, Kitchen Pro Equipment will take corrective measures at our discretion. These measures may include reaching a mutual agreement on the price with the customer or canceling the order, resulting in a full refund.
Receipt of Incorrect Product
Receipt of Incorrect Product
If you believe you have received the incorrect product, we request that you keep the item(s) unused and in their original packaging. Please promptly contact our Customer Solutions team, and they will assist you in either reshipping the correct item or processing a refund. We may ask for a photograph of the incorrect product received, and we will cover the cost of return shipping for that item.
Shipping Policy
Address Modification and Reconsignments
Address Modification and Reconsignments
If you find it necessary to change the shipping address for an order that has already been processed, please be aware that carriers impose a reconsignment fee for this service. When an address change request is made, we will promptly contact you via email to provide details about the carrier's fee.
To proceed with the address change, we will require your confirmation regarding the fee and the updated address. In the absence of your confirmation, we will maintain the original address provided during the checkout process. It is important to note that if the carrier attempts delivery to the original address and encounters difficulties, additional redelivery fees may be incurred, in addition to any reconsignment fees.
Call Before Delivery
Call Before Delivery
For your convenience, we offer a "Call Before Delivery" option. By selecting this service, the carrier will reach out to you approximately 24 hours prior to the estimated arrival of your order. They will coordinate a suitable delivery appointment using the phone number you provided during checkout.
Please keep in mind that opting for a "Call Before Delivery" may extend your order's transit time by an additional day. This service is applicable solely to items in your order that are being shipped via a common carrier. Typically, a 4-hour delivery window is established, though variations may occur based on the carrier and destination.
A "Call Before Delivery" is mandatory for residential deliveries and is advisable for businesses with irregular operating hours. Please note that deliveries occur from Monday through Friday, typically between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m.
If the carrier misses the scheduled delivery appointment, they will arrange for a new appointment. In cases where you are unavailable to accept the delivery during the scheduled time, any redelivery fees imposed by the carrier will be your responsibility. Additional fees may apply if you require a time-specific delivery that deviates from the standard 4-hour window or if you are unable to accept delivery within a reasonable timeframe following the carrier's initial contact request.
In situations where a delivery cannot be completed because "Call Before Delivery" was not selected during checkout, the carrier may apply a redelivery fee to facilitate a second delivery attempt. In such instances, we will promptly notify you via email regarding the applicable fee and proceed with charging the card on file if necessary, in order to prevent further fees from the carrier.
Delivery Expectations for the Common Carrier
Delivery Expectations for the Common Carrier
For common carrier deliveries, it is important to be aware that carriers typically allocate a 15-minute window for the completion of your delivery. Excessive delays during the delivery process may result in the carrier imposing detention fees.
Furthermore, if you are unable to accept the shipment within a reasonable timeframe, causing the carrier to retain your shipment at their terminal, the carrier may apply fees for storage. To ensure a smooth and timely delivery process, we recommend being prepared for the delivery in advance.
For more detailed information on common carrier shipments, please visit our Common Carrier Shipments page.
Should you have any questions or require further assistance regarding your shipment, please do not hesitate to reach out to our Customer Solutions Team. We are here to assist you with any concerns or inquiries you may have.
Commercial and Residential Shipping Addresses
Commercial and Residential Shipping Addresses
At Kitchen Pro Equipment, we accommodate both commercial and residential shipping addresses for the convenience of our customers. Here's what you need to know:
Commercial Shipping to Residential Addresses:
Commercial carriers will deliver the majority of our products to residential shipping addresses. If you operate a business from your home and do not have an account set up, please select "residential" in your shopping cart because carriers may still categorize your address as residential. When you create an account with us, our system will automatically identify your address as "residential" in such cases.
Additionally, please be aware that we reserve the right to decline shipping to residential addresses, and some brands may not offer residential shipping options at all. We understand that some of our residential customers may choose to incorporate commercial equipment into their homes. However, it's crucial to make informed decisions based on your specific requirements and the potential implications mentioned above. Your satisfaction and safety are of utmost importance to us, and we are here to assist you in selecting the right equipment for your needs.
Commercial Equipment Usage for Residential Purposes
In the event that a customer purchases commercial equipment from Kitchen Pro Equipment for residential purposes, it is imperative to acknowledge and understand the following:
Liability Waiver:
Kitchen Pro Equipment shall bear no liability or responsibility for any incidents, injuries, or damages that may arise as a result of the utilization of commercial equipment within a residential setting. This disclaimer extends to circumstances where the customer, or any other individual within the household, may suffer injuries, harm others, or cause damage to the residential premises through the use of said commercial equipment.
Assumption of Risk:
By opting to employ commercial equipment within a residential context, the customer expressly assumes all associated risks and hazards. This assumption of risk encompasses potential injuries, accidents, or property damage that may transpire as a consequence of such usage.
Release from Liability:
Kitchen Pro Equipment, its affiliates, agents, and employees shall be released from any and all claims, demands, liabilities, or legal actions pertaining to injuries, harm, or damage arising from the residential application of commercial equipment. This release from liability shall be applicable to the fullest extent permissible by law.
Legal Implications:
Customers are advised to adhere to all pertinent laws, regulations, and safety guidelines governing the utilization of commercial equipment in residential settings. Any contravention of applicable laws and regulations may result in legal consequences, for which Kitchen Pro Equipment shall not be held responsible.
Safety and Compliance:
Customers are encouraged to exercise due diligence in assessing the suitability and safety of commercial equipment for residential use. Prior to implementation, it is recommended to consult with relevant experts or authorities to ensure compliance with safety standards.
Indemnification:
Customers agree to indemnify and hold Kitchen Pro Equipment harmless against any claims, losses, or liabilities arising from the residential deployment of commercial equipment. This indemnification shall include legal fees, expenses, and costs incurred in defense against any claims.
By proceeding with the purchase and utilization of commercial equipment for residential purposes, the customer acknowledges having read, understood, and agreed to the terms of this disclaimer, and acknowledges the absence of liability on the part of Kitchen Pro Equipment in the aforementioned scenarios. It is imperative that customers exercise prudence and due care when using commercial equipment in residential settings to mitigate risks and ensure safety.
Commercial Limited Access Addresses:

Damaged/Missing/Lost Items - Common Carrier
Damaged/Missing/Lost Items - Common Carrier
Common Carrier
While we take great care in packaging every order to ensure safe delivery, damage, missing items, or loss can occur during transit. In the event of any of these situations, please follow these steps:
- Note Damage or Missing Items: Before signing the delivery receipt, clearly note any damage, missing items, or doubts about possible damage.
- Retain the Delivery Receipt: Keep your copy of the delivery receipt for reference.
- Contact Us Promptly: Reach out to our customer support team within 1 business day to report the issue.
- Preserve Packing Materials: Retain the damaged packing materials as they may be required for inspection.
- Document the Damage: Take pictures of the damaged items and packaging to assist with the claims process.
It's important to emphasize that by signing the delivery receipt without noting any damage or issues, you accept responsibility for the shipment's condition as received. Failure to note damage may hinder our ability to provide compensation for any damages.
In rare cases where our freight carriers lose a shipment, rest assured that locating your items is our top priority. We will work closely with the carrier to recover the lost shipment. Dock checks with the carrier typically take approximately 3-5 business days to complete. If your shipment is found, we will proceed with delivery to your location. In the unfortunate event that it is deemed lost, we will collaborate with you to find a satisfactory resolution. Your satisfaction and receiving your order in good condition are our primary concerns.
Receipt of your Order
Upon the receipt of your order, it is essential to perform a thorough inspection to identify any potential issues such as damaged, lost, or missing items. In the unfortunate event that you discover any discrepancies, kindly adhere to the following guidelines:
If any part of your order is either missing or has sustained damage during transit, we kindly request that you retain both the items and their original packaging. It is imperative to initiate contact with us within 5 business days of receiving your order. This prompt communication will enable us to swiftly address the situation and work towards a suitable solution. In certain cases, we may also request photographic evidence of the damage to facilitate the resolution process.
Lost Shipments:
Lost Shipments:
While exceedingly rare, there may be instances where our carriers misplace a shipment. Rest assured that locating your items is our utmost priority, and we will collaborate closely with the carrier to expedite the resolution. The tracing process for ground shipments typically spans 1-3 business days. Should your shipment be located, we will proceed with its delivery to your designated location. Conversely, if it is deemed lost, we will diligently work with you to reach a satisfactory resolution.
Packaging
Packaging
The packaging employed during the shipment process serves the crucial purpose of safeguarding the contents of your order against any potential damage or mishandling during transit. While we make every effort to ensure the integrity of the packaging, there may be instances where the outer packaging sustains damage.
It's important to understand that the packaging is primarily engineered to preserve the condition of the products we dispatch. Consequently, we do not provide compensation for damage incurred by the packaging itself.
However, if the actual items within your shipment suffer damage, we urge you to promptly notify us. Doing so enables us to swiftly arrange for compensation or replacement of the affected items. Your satisfaction and the receipt of your order in pristine condition remain our utmost priorities.
Split Shipments
Split Shipments
At Kitchen Pro Equipment, we make every effort to streamline the shipment process and consolidate items whenever feasible. However, please be aware that we cannot guarantee that every item in your order will be shipped together. The reason for this variance lies in the diverse sourcing locations of our products.
In cases where your order necessitates multiple shipments, it's important to note that the complete shipping cost will be assessed with the initial shipment.
If you have specific preferences, such as expedited shipping for certain items and standard Ground for others, we kindly request that you place separate orders for each shipping method. This ensures the accurate allocation of shipping options to individual items within your order.
We appreciate your understanding as we strive to deliver your items efficiently and in the best possible condition. If you have any questions or require further assistance, please don't hesitate to reach out to our Customer Solutions Team.
Delivery Time
Delivery Time
At Kitchen Pro Equipment, our dedicated warehouses are committed to swiftly processing and preparing your orders for shipment, typically within 1-2 business days. While the majority of our products are dispatched from our U.S. warehouses, it's important to note that certain items are shipped directly from the manufacturer. Consequently, delivery times may exhibit some variation.
Common Carrier Deliveries:
Common Carrier Deliveries:
For orders entrusted to common carriers, the delivery timeframe typically spans from 1 to 10 business days. The specific duration hinges on your geographical proximity to the designated shipping location. Ground shipping, a prevalent choice, generally encompasses a timeframe of 1 to 7 business days. It is prudent to allocate an additional day for delivery when your designated delivery date coincides with a holiday. Our warehouses observe a select set of holidays, including Christmas, New Year's, Memorial Day, 4th of July, Labor Day, and Thanksgiving. It's worth noting that shipping companies may also observe additional holidays. It is essential to recognize that all estimated delivery times for standard ground and common carrier shipments are approximate and not guaranteed.
In-House Kitchen Pro Equipment Brands:
In-House Kitchen Pro Equipment Brands:
Products bearing the Kitchen Pro Equipment brand, which are housed within our facilities, are typically delivered within a speedy timeframe of 2-5 business days. We take pride in ensuring that our in-house brands are promptly shipped to you, enhancing your overall shopping experience.
Order Placement and Shipping Cut-off Times:
Order Placement and Shipping Cut-off Times:
To facilitate same-day shipping, orders must be placed before 12:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time (EST). This expedited service is exclusively available for delivery on business days, which encompass Monday through Friday. Please be advised that shipping cutoff times may vary for orders shipping directly from the manufacturer.
We are committed to ensuring that your orders are processed efficiently and that delivery times are as prompt as possible. However, it's advisable to keep in mind that factors such as shipping method, product availability, and your proximity to the shipping location can influence delivery durations. We appreciate your understanding of these variables as we endeavor to provide you with a seamless shopping experience.
Liftgate Services
Liftgate Services
If you lack the convenience of an elevated loading dock or forklift to safely unload your ordered items from the delivery truck, you will require a liftgate service. It is imperative to select the "Common Carrier w/ Liftgate" option during the checkout process to ensure the inclusion of this service. The cost for the liftgate service is encompassed within this option. Please be aware that if the need for a liftgate arises after your order has already been shipped, a higher fee may be applicable.
In the event that delivery cannot be successfully executed due to the omission of the liftgate option during checkout, a redelivery fee may be imposed in addition to the liftgate fee. In such instances, we will promptly notify you via email regarding the applicable fees and, if necessary, charge the payment card on file. It is our priority to ensure that these measures are taken to circumvent any further charges incurred with the carrier.
It is important to note that for certain orders that include frozen or refrigerated items, a liftgate service may not be a viable option. In such cases, the delivery driver will undertake the responsibility of manually unloading the items from the truck in lieu of the liftgate service.
For specific items such as large outdoor ice merchandisers or exceptionally lengthy pizza prep tables, the weight and size may surpass the capabilities of a liftgate. In such circumstances, a truck-level loading dock will be essential for the successful offloading of these items. If you find yourself uncertain about the requirements of your order, please do not hesitate to reach out to our knowledgeable Customer Solutions Team for guidance and clarification. Your satisfaction and the seamless delivery of your items are our primary objectives.

Product Usage and Intention Commercial Equipment in Residential Settings
Product Usage and Intention Commercial Equipment in Residential Settings
At Kitchen Pro Equipment, we aim to provide our valued customers with comprehensive information regarding the use of commercial equipment, whether in a commercial food service or residential setting. Please consider the following information to make informed decisions:
Commercial Equipment in Residential Settings
When contemplating the use of commercial-grade equipment in a residential environment, it's essential to be aware of the following considerations:
- Insurance and Warranty Implications: Installing commercial appliances in your home may void your homeowner's insurance coverage and the manufacturer's warranty.
- Power Consumption: Commercial equipment typically consumes more electricity than residential appliances, potentially impacting your utility costs.
- Heat Generation: Many commercial items are not as thoroughly insulated as residential appliances, leading to increased heat generation in your home.
- Safety Requirements: Commercial appliances may require specialized ventilation and fire-suppression systems to comply with local safety codes, which are not typically found in residential kitchens.
- Performance Expectations: Commercial cooking equipment is primarily designed for functionality and durability in commercial settings, which may not align with standard consumer-level expectations in terms of aesthetics and ease of use.
Noise Levels: Commercial equipment is often louder than comparable non-commercial alternatives, which could affect the tranquility of your residential space.
