Zinger Heavy Duty Front Side Entry

Zinger Heavy Duty Front Side Entry is perfect for pets that require the strongest and most secure crate on the market. This crates usual aluminium side faces have been replaced with ¾ inch square aluminum bars, each of which is double welded to the frame for an extra strong build. Heavy Duty crates also feature a reinforced door with extra bars, welds, and bracing. Zinger provides 90 Day "No escape" warranty. 

Zinger Front and Side Entry crates feature two total doors with one on the long side and one on the short. The side door is available in either a centered or offset position. As with all Zinger doors, each door is completely reversible and can be opened from either the left or the right.

Features

• Strong and Lightweight: Zinger aluminum dog crates offer incredible strength at one third the weight of steel, light enough for one person to life with ease. Unlike plastic and wire crates lifetime. For security reasons all ZINGER lock and mounting hardware are made from stainless steel to provide exceptional security and eliminate the risk of rust or corrosion.
• Lockable Slam Latch: Each door comes with a flush mounted slam latch which is keyed for added security while you are away from the crate. Rest assured that someone cannot simply open the crate and walk away with your dog. Made from strong "stainless steel" for durability and to prevent corrosion.
• Ventilation: A Zinger crate is fully vented down each side and along the back wall to provide maximum comfort for your dog. Zinger open design allows air to pass freely thru the door aided by the triple rows of lower and upper vent holes which surround the crate. By its very nature aluminum quickly dissipates heat making it a great material to construct dog crates provided there are enough air holes. Lots of adequate venting ensures your dog will remain safe while in its crate.
• Modular Design: All ZINGER crates can be coupled side by side or stacked atop one another to form multiple dog crate systems or kennel banks.
• Beautiful Finish: ZINGER crates are finished in a durable "Silver Hammertone" powder coat both inside and out. The secret to this tough finish is the high temperatures in which it is "baked on" so that it will not wear off. By powder coating the inside as well as the outside of the crate, we protect your dogs coat from discoloration, a common occurence when a dog sits in an untreated aluminum crate. In untreated crates, the bare aluminum oxidizes and the residue rubs off onto the dog, resulting in a grey silvery color. This will not happen in a Zinger crate.
• Solid Doors: Reinforced with solid bars and welded for extra strength the door is built to last. A full length piano hinge and striker plate is standard and the door can be easily reversed to allow left or right hand opening.
• 90 Day “No Escape” Money Back Warranty
• 1-Year Full Manufacturer's Warranty

Who We Work With

At Dens and Kennels, we’re proud to work with private pet owners, but also with kennel facility owners and operators, hotel owners, and many other customers.
We invite you to contact us today to learn more about our free shipping, our 110% price match guarantee, our industry-best warranty, and our available financing options. 

Please Read First

Most dog kennels ship via freight. Freight delivery processes are far different than the regular UPS/Fedex deliveries many customers are accustomed to. As a result, it is imperative you read all the details in the Shipping & Returns Policy. By proceeding with your order, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed with the Shipping & Returns Policies in their entirety.

LEAD TIMES FOR 2023/2024

During 2023/24, many items will be available via backorder only. Many popular brands are only building to order as they do not have enough raw materials for mass production.

Please inquire for stock/delivery times on any brand. If you need to purchase a product soon, please do so ASAP as lead times are expected to increase in 2024. It is highly regrettable but out of anyone's control and we wish to be upfront about current market conditions so that you may plan accordingly.

THIS MEANS WHEREVER YOU INQUIRE ONLINE, THE LEAD TIME WILL NOT CHANGE AS ALMOST EVERY RETAILER SHIPS FACTORY DIRECT AT PRESENT.

Order Confirmation

As soon as you place your order you will receive an order confirmation e-mail. Please verify item type and color/dimensions. If you wish to make any changes, you would need to do so prior to your item shipping. 

• The Order Confirmation means that we have received your order in our system.
• As soon as we receive your order we automatically verify that the item is in stock and available for immediate shipment.
• If your item is on backorder or unavailable we will void the card authorization and promptly reach out to you via phone or e-mail.
• If your item is in stock we will charge your card and process your order.

You are free to cancel without penalty or obligation prior to your order shipping.

Shipping Your Order

If your item is in stock:

• Your order ship within five business days from the order confirmation date.
• We will send you tracking information within 24 hours of your order leaving the warehouse to the e-mail address you provided when checking out.
• Most heavy items are shipped via freight--delivery time is approximately 5-7 business days.
• Please feel free to inquire if you do not receive the tracking information, since the email may sometimes end up in junk or other folders. 
• Shipping lead times may be longer than usual during holiday/rush periods. We will immediately inform you if this is the case and obtain your permission to proceed.

DUE TO THE RAPID INCREASE IN FREIGHT PRICES, COAST TO COAST OR LONG DISTANCE SHIPMENTS WILL INCUR ADDITIONAL COSTS. OUR FREE SHIPPING DOES NOT COVER COMPLEX OR LONG DISTANCE SHIPMENTS. PLEASE INQUIRE.

**Please note custom-built kennels and items (ie. Rhino, European, etc) also possess lead times of 2 or more weeks as they are built to order in the USA. Custom or customized items and kennels may not be canceled once in production as resources have been allocated to build your item.**

We will always do our very best to ensure the promptest delivery. Guaranteed shipment dates and express service may be available, please let us know if you need rush service.

IN ORDER TO REMAIN IN COMPLIANCE WITH PAYPAL AND OTHER CREDIT CARD PORTAL POLICIES: DELIVERY ADDRESS CHANGES ARE NOT PERMITTED ONCE AN ITEM HAS ALREADY SHIPPED. ANY RETURNS THIS MAY CAUSE WILL BE TREATED AS A REGULAR RETURN PER OUR RETURN POLICY. PLEASE READ OUR FULL POLICY BELOW FOR INFORMATION ON QUALIFYING RETURNS.

Delivery Instructions

The delivery instructions email will be sent to the same email address as the order confirmation email.

• Once your order has shipped, you will receive a delivery instructions email. 
• Please read this email carefully as it outlines how to receive your item and what to do in the event your item or box arrives damaged.

Please note it is a customer's responsibility to read this email and/or familiarize themselves with our Shipping & Returms Policy. Additionally, we highly recommend you check your junk or spam folder at all times. 

Damages

Please read the instructions below very carefully as they pertain to refunds and replacements. 

Inspect your purchase to ensure that it is in good condition upon arrival and that the number of boxes on the delivery bill match the number of boxes you received. If your item(s)/box arrives damaged or short, it is very important you follow these exact instructions:

• Note the damage on the delivery bill (also known as a bill of lading)
• Note any shortage of items/boxes
• Take photographs of all sides of the box as well
• REFUSE DELIVERY WITHOUT EXCEPTION
• Send the photos to support@densandkennels.com so we can process an insurance claim/replacement.

Examples of damage to a box are: rips, holes, crush, dings, etc. 

If the box/package looks OK but you feel the item within may be damaged:

• Note "possible concealed damaged"

In the event the damage is concealed (meaning the box looks good but the item within is damaged)--DO NOT THROW THE BOX AWAY and take pictures of the box as well as the product. 

• Disposing of the box at any point or not following the above procedures annuls our ability to process refunds and replacements.
• Insurance/manufacturers require photographs of both the box (all sides) and the product.

It is very important that any damage or shortages are:

• Reported within five calendar days of receipt of the merchandise, due to carrier insurance regulations and rules.
• If the concealed damage is cosmetic only, we reserve the right to first attempt to repair the unit as new with a part or professional assistance. 

In order to receive an immediate refund or replacement for concealed damage:

• You agree to hold onto the damaged item and not dispose of it until further instructions are provided by the manufacturer or by us.
• You agree to not dispose of the original box/carton the item came in.

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCE WILL AN ITEM BE REFUNDED OR REPLACED IF THE ITEM OR ITS BOX/PACKAGING HAVE BEEN DISCARDED.

If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact us immediately at 407-347-2363 and we will be glad to promptly assist you or answer any concerns. 

Cancellations & Refunds

We want you to be completely satisfied with your order. All purchases may be canceled at no cost prior to shipment. If there are any third party or carrier errors, you agree to let us help you resolve these in a timely manner.

Should you decide to cancel/return the order once it has already shipped:

• 30-Day return window from the time product is shipped
• Unfortunately no returns after 30 days
• You (the buyer) will be responsible for all shipping charges, including return shipping and any manufacturer restocking fees.
• The refund will be processed once the item has been received at the warehouse.
• No returns permitted on any custom-built, or made to order items.
• Custom build items may not be canceled once in production--all sales for custom products are final

For those items that are non-returnable but arrive damaged, we will promptly provide a replacement at absolutely no cost to you pursuant to our Shipping & Returns Policy.

Because we cannot sell used items, all returned items must be in new and unused condition, including original packaging (please do not assemble or modify the product in any way). 

CUSTOM LENGTH, CUSTOM DESIGN, OR CUSTOM BUILD KENNELS AND ITEMS MAY NOT BE CANCELED OR ALTERED ONCE IN PRODUCTION. THESE ARE NOT STOCK ITEMS, ARE NON-REFUNDABLE, AND ARE BUILT EXPRESSLY FOR YOU, HENCE CANNOT BE RESTOCKED. 

Are Credit Card or Shoppay Installment Fees Refundable?

No, they are not. If you cancel an order that we have processed and / or shipped, credit card or Shopify Installment processing fees will be deducted from your refund.

• 2.9% for credit or debit cards
• 5.9% for Shopify Installment plans

Your card or Shopify Installment charge us these non-refundable fees, which we simply pass onto you should you decide to cancel an order. 

Shipping Insurance

Dens & Kennels provides complimentary shipping insurance with all orders; we want your purchase to be fully insured and protected while in transit. Shipping insurance allows a merchant to replace or refund an order that suffers damage due to shipping, at no cost to the buyer.

By accepting a damaged box and signing for it in "good condition", however, a customer acknowledge they wish to receive the order as is and cancel the right to any refund or replacement. Any box visibly damaged during shipping may indicate a damaged item within. This means a customer should always notate the damage to a box or item on the delivery bill, otherwise insurance cannot be filed and refunds/replacements cannot be made. We know this is pretty straight-forward, but we are required to disclose it! :) 

We strive for your 100% satisfaction. In the event we process an insurance claim for damage, please bear in mind that we will always provide a refund or replacement without you having to wait for the claim process to be over. In doing so, however, you agree to hold onto the damaged item until the claim process is over. Refusal to warehouse the damaged item means shipping insurance cannot be executed and voids the ability to provide refunds/replacements. This is common practice with all U.S. carriers (UPS, Fedex, etc) when processing insurance claims for refunds or replacements and does not in any way make you responsible for the delivery damage. 

If you have any questions at all, please contact us a 407-347-2363 or at support@densandkennels.com and our professional staff will be glad to assist you.

Delivery Method--VERY IMPORTANT

All heavy freight orders are delivered "curbside", which is industry standard for all manufacturers. The shipping company will call you ahead of time to schedule a delivery appointment, and deliver curbside via freight truck. All smaller/lighter orders are delivered via regular Fedex/UPS.

If you choose another type of delivery (such as Front Door Delivery), please retain the email confirming any alternate delivery method for your records. For your protection and peace of mind, any guarantee is only provided in writing and never verbally. 

It is important to note that some deliveries may incur additional costs due to remote / hard to access / limited access locations. Although rare, we will promptly let you know if this is the case so that you may choose whether or not to proceed with the shipment.

ONCE A DELIVERY METHOD IS CHOSEN DURING CHECKOUT, IT IS IMPORTANT TO LET US KNOW BEFORE SHIPPING IF YOU WISH TO CHANGE METHODS AS NOT ALL SHIPPING COMPANIES PROVIDE ADDITIONAL SHIPPING SERVICES, SUCH AS LIFTGATE, FRONT DOOR, OR WHITE GLOVE. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT AS IT WILL SUBJECT YOU TO SHIPPING AND RESTOCKING CHARGES IF YOU CHOOSE NOT TO ACCEPT DELIVERY OR ARE UNABLE TO DO SO. 

Storage Fees & Delays

It is understood that by placing an order you are ready to accept immediate delivery of the merchandise. Should you need the merchandise to arrive on a specific date, this date must be relayed before your order ships.

If your order ships and you choose to delay delivery, the shipping company unfortunately reserves the right by law to return your merchandise to the manufacturer, or charge you storage fees. Generally, shipping companies will not allow your item to be stored on premises--for insurances reasons--for longer than 3-5 business days.

• If they return your merchandise to the manufacturer, you will be responsible for shipping both ways, as well as a restocking fee.
• If the merchandise is non-returnable and gets returned to the manufacturer (who thus refuses it), you will be responsible for the full cost of the item, including any third party and shipping fees.
• If the shipping company chooses to retain the item on premises and charge you shipping fees, you agree to pay such fees in full prior to the delivery of the merchandise.

In essence, please do not delay delivery of the merchandise, as shipping companies have very little flexibility due to legal and insurance restraints. You will be responsible for all costs associated with self-imposed delays. 

Freight Issues & Delivery Times

We will always do our best to ensure prompt delivery of your merchandise. However, freight delays may occur due to a carrier dock delay (Fedex, UPS, etc), carrier item loss, inclement weather, and many factors beyond our control.

We realize this is an inconvenience for you, however it is not grounds for cancellation. Freight issues may happen with any freight from any company across any state. You agree to allow the freight company to rectify the issue.

• Freight shipping is unlike regular shipping
• Freight delivery times are never guaranteed--even among the largest freighters--nor will we ever guarantee delivery on or by a certain date
• We may give you approximate delivery time frames, but never guarantees
• Freight companies may lose or misplace your item. This is rare and only affects a small minority of shipments across all freight companies.

In such event that an item is lost or delayed, you agree to allow the freight company and us to rectify the issue. We realize you want your item as fast as possible, but understand we also want to deliver your item as quickly as possible and we understand it isn't a perfect world and freight issues may arise.

IN THE RARE EVENT A CARRIER ISSUE OCCURS, WE WILL ALWAYS STRIVE TO RESOLVE MATTERS RAPIDLY FOR YOU. HOWEVER, SHOULD YOU WISH TO CANCEL AN ORDER REGARDLESS, WITHOUT GIVING THE FREIGHT COMPANY TIME TO RECTIFY THE ISSUE, IT WILL BE CONSIDERED A REGULAR CANCELATION AND HENCE FALL UNDER THE CANCELATION POLICY IE. YOU WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR SHIPPING COSTS BOTH WAYS AND MERCHANDISE RESTOCKING FEES. 

Does delivery include setup?

Since the standard delivery method is curbside, it does not include set up. Oftentimes customers don't realize professional setup can exceed $1,000 in cost through freight companies. Hence, if you require professional setup, we recommend you find a local installer near you and negotiate their rate to save you money. 

What is Front Door/Garage Delivery?

When this service is requested on a shipment going to a business, the carrier will take the freight into the storefront for delivery. On a residential delivery, the carrier will take the shipment onto the property, or into the garage of the residence. They will not necessarily deliver inside the front door, but rather at the front door. Please note this is the case with any shipment from any company and is a carrier policy, not our own.

When a driver delivers to a specific room in a house or business (for example a basement or 2nd floor), the requested service is known as White Glove service. Since this is very time consuming, only specific shipping companies offer white glove service. If you require white glove service, please let us know.

Not all white glove quotes will be the same, since not all home deliveries are the same. Number of stairs, corridors, etc may require a different quote and we will let you know if this is the case.

Color Disclaimer 

All items purchased are represented on our site in as best a color scheme/description as possible, based on information relayed to us by the manufacturer. Colors, however, may vary slightly from what is shown based on the type and age of monitor the items are viewed on.

The item name and color is no different on our site than on any other site, and you agree to purchase the item based on appearance as shown and described.

No manufacturer allows returns based on colors; this holds true for any custom built items as well. 

Blanket Policy Disclaimer

For any policy omission or clarification, the individual manufacturer policy will apply without exception. As policies are multi-faceted and constantly evolve, customer (you) and retailer (us) agree to defer to the manufacturer's shipping & returns policy in these instances.

Is Free Shipping offered everywhere in the US?

Much as we strive to offer absolutely free shipping during our promotional periods, there are some locations where we cannot offer free shipping. These are usually states such as Hawaii and Alaska, but not limited to these, as well as locations with restricted access (ie islands, heavy metro areas, hotels), rural areas, or locations which a carrier may deem remote or difficult to get to. Coast-to-coast shipping may not be covered under our free shipping policy, as we strive to obtain the fastest route to prevent item breakage and deliver exceptional customer satisfaction. 

*Any Lucky Dog/Rhino Kennel deliveries to NY or FL ARE considered distance shipping, as the suppliers are located in Oregon and California, and we will ONLY use premium carriers to ship there to prevent the high likelihood of damage. Distance shipping is not limited to NY or FL. 

If you feel you are in such a location, please feel free to contact us to make sure. We will still provide a credit for shipping in these instances. If you place an order and we find that you are in such an area, we will immediately contact you with all available options.
