Kitchen cabinetry
shipped to Tumby Bay.
Every Tumby Bay order ships with a numbered plan, elevations and a service drawing marking every waste, water point and outlet, so your plumber and electrician are not guessing.
The short answer
Yes, we ship to Tumby Bay. The kitchen is drawn to your measurements, cut in Rockhampton and freighted west via the Eyre Highway. You choose flat packed or delivered assembled on the same quote, and your own trades fit it — we install in Central Queensland only. Nothing is due to see the drawing or the price, and nothing is cut until you sign the drawing off.
Why does the specification matter in Tumby Bay?
Salt air is relentless on hardware. It gets into unbranded runners and hinges and they stiffen, then sag, and the doors stop lining up. Every cabinet runs Blum soft-close hinges and full-extension runners as standard. Long coastlines, salt air and towns where the nearest cabinetmaker is two hours away.
How does it reach Tumby Bay?
Your kitchen is cut in Rockhampton and freighted west via the Eyre Highway. Flat cartons are labelled to a numbered drawing, one per cabinet where possible, with doors and fronts wrapped separately and the Blum hardware bagged against the cabinet it belongs to. Assembled orders arrive as finished boxes, doors hung and adjusted, which takes more truck space and shows as a higher freight line. Both are on the same quote so the choice is a number rather than a guess.
Who fits it in Tumby Bay?
Your builder, carpenter or kitchen installer, plus a licensed plumber and a licensed electrician for their parts. Ask each for a licence number and check it yourself — in South Australia that is SA Consumer and Business Services. Every order ships with dimensioned service drawings showing each waste, water point and outlet, so the trades rough in to the plan rather than to a guess. Our install guide sets out the three trades and the fixed order they work in.
How do I measure from Tumby Bay with nobody visiting?
Because we do not visit Tumby Bay, your measurements are the drawing. Wall to wall at three heights and use the smallest number. Ceiling height in every corner, because floors are never level. Every window and door with its distance from the nearest corner. Where the waste, the water and the power are now. Then a photograph of each corner of the room. Our measuring guide lists the lot, and a designer checks your numbers against the photographs before anything is cut.
How do I compare this with a Tumby Bay cabinetmaker?
Take our itemised quote to any Tumby Bay cabinetmaker and compare it line for line, which is exactly what it is formatted for. Ask them three things: board thickness and moisture rating, edging method, hardware brand. If the answers match ours and the number is better, take theirs - a local supplier with the same specification and no freight line is a genuinely good outcome. If the answers are vague, you have learned something either way.
Who gets the cartons off the truck in Tumby Bay?
You do, or whoever you arrange. Freight to a residential address is generally kerbside, and a kitchen is a lot of cartons, several of them long and heavy enough to want two people. Builders usually have this handled. If you are doing it yourself, line up help and somewhere dry for the cartons before the delivery date rather than on the day.
Where else do you ship in the Yorke and Eyre Peninsulas?
We ship to Port Lincoln, Whyalla, Port Augusta, Kadina, Ceduna, Moonta, Wallaroo, Minlaton and the rest of the region on the same route. The the Yorke and Eyre Peninsulas page covers the region, and South Australia covers the state.

The specification
Built for this
climate, not a catalogue.
Four real seasons means four cycles of movement a year. Over a decade that is what separates a kitchen that still closes properly from one that does not, and it is decided by the edging and the hinge, not by the door colour.
The same three questions decide any kitchen anywhere: board thickness and moisture rating, edging method, hardware brand. Ours are 18mm moisture-resistant, laser-bonded and Blum, and they are printed on every quote. How to judge a flat pack.
- 18mm moisture-resistant board
- Laser-bonded edging, no glue line
- Blum soft-close hinges and runners
- Cut to your drawing, not catalogue widths
- Pre-drilled and labelled per cabinet
- Fixed itemised quote, freight its own line

Frequently asked
Tumby Bay — questions
If your question is not here, call the studio. We would rather talk it through than have you guess.
Ask us directly →Do you deliver flat pack kitchens to Tumby Bay?
Yes. Tumby Bay is served west via the Eyre Highway, and freight is quoted to your postcode as its own line on the quote rather than folded into the cabinetry price.
Do you install kitchens in Tumby Bay?
No. Our own installation team works Central Queensland only. In Tumby Bay your builder, carpenter or kitchen installer fits it, working from the dimensioned service drawings that ship with every order. Our install guide covers the three trades and the order they work in.
Should I order flat pack or assembled to Tumby Bay?
Both are quoted on the same drawing. Flat cartons ship for less and get through tight doorways; assembled arrives with carcasses built and doors adjusted so your installer is fitting rather than building. Over this distance most the Yorke and Eyre Peninsulas orders go flat.
Who can do the plumbing and electrical in Tumby Bay?
A licensed plumber and a licensed electrician, and you should check both licences yourself before they start. In South Australia, SA Consumer and Business Services is the register to check against.
What board and hardware do you use?
18mm moisture-resistant board, laser-bonded edging and Blum soft-close hinges and runners on every cabinet, in every state. The specification is printed on your quote so you can hold it against anything else you are offered.
How long will a Tumby Bay order take?
It depends on the kitchen and the freight route, so it is stated on your quote for your job rather than guessed here. What you can plan around is the sequence: drawing, your sign-off, cutting, then freight.
Delivered assembled
The assembly is done
before it arrives.
Carcasses built square on a bench, Blum hardware fitted, doors hung and adjusted to even gaps. On site you are fixing finished cabinets to a wall, not building them on the floor. Your builder or installer levels it, fixes it and fits the benchtop, working from our drawings. Prefer to build it yourself? The same kitchen ships flat pack.
