What If Your Outdoor Kitchen Arrives Damaged? (Don’t Panic)

What happens if your outdoor kitchen shows up damaged?
It’s a fair question—and one you should know the answer to before delivery day.

In this episode of The Outdoor Kitchen Experience, we walk you through exactly what to do if your outdoor kitchen arrives with damage—and how RTA Outdoor Living handles it. Whether it’s a panel, appliance, or another component, knowing the right steps can make the process smooth and stress-free.

We’ll cover what to look for during delivery, why it’s important to inspect everything as it’s unloaded, and how to properly document any issues. You’ll also learn what to do if damage isn’t immediately visible and shows up later during unpacking or installation.

Most importantly, we explain how your Project Service Manager (PSM) supports you through the process. They’re your direct point of contact and will work quickly to resolve any issues and get replacements handled so your project stays on track.

The bottom line: you’re not on your own. There’s a clear system in place to make sure you receive your outdoor kitchen exactly as expected.
