Check the Return Policy!

At Le Cache, we have a 30-day return policy on our wine storage cabinets, but not all companies stand behind their products.

The poor guy (below) purchased a wine cabinet but didn't measure properly, and now he's going to lose a lot of money, because neither the dealer nor the manufacturer will take back the wine cabinet, even in its original crate!

Before you spend thousands of dollars on a new wine cabinet, get the return and cancellation policy IN WRITING. Caveat emptor!

"The cabinet was purchased from [an online retailer]. Here's a link to the product page:

The wine cabinet line is called the Vintage Series Premier Cru, but it's made by Wine Cellar Impressions, which makes cabinets for a number of stores, who sell them under different names, such as AmeriCave at winecellars.com, the Estate series at IWA (iwawine.com), as well as the Vintage Series line at Vintage Cellars.

I did a bad job of measuring to make sure this cabinet would fit down my stairway to where it needed to go, and it turns out that it won't fit, so I need to sell it and buy a smaller one. The cabinet is being stored at the local shipping company, still in its original shipping crate.

As shown in the above link, the model I bought is the Premier Cru 420. It's made of oak, with a Breezaire cooling system. It has redwood racks, with bulk storage at the top. Total capacity is about 396 bottles. Note that the $1995 price shown on the web site is for an unfinished cabinet, with solid doors. I stayed with the solid doors, and added the following options: light oak finish - $180, top vent upgrade - $215 (so that it could be placed flush against the wall), interior light - $39, and lock - $50.

I'm asking $1900, with free shipping and inside delivery (shipping on these units is normally $600 - $700). Free shipping is for continental U.S. only."
