Yes. Large orders are frequently shipped in phases: by half or by thirds or by rooms, etc. There may be additional charges for extra pallets or for organization of components.

Does CabParts package cabinet boxes in complete units?
No, CabParts components are flat-packed on pallet(s), layer by layer for closest fit and safety in transit. Individually packaged units would add greatly to the cost.
