Axel,
Someone failed to plan this out. I have seen this happen over and over from Kit and Bath stores to even custom cabinet shops. Best thing to do is to call them out to resolve it.
Good Luck!

Yeah, call THEM to worry about it :D They're supposed to be the professionals and should have known to take the #'s into consideration, IMO. We just redid our kitchen and had an issue with our pantry - not enough space between the wall and the pantry to allow for the doors to open enough to pull out the roll-out racks *duh*. Called them and they solved it - removed the racks and replaced them with ones fractionally smaller. Hey, you're paying big bucks - get what you paid for (as close to perfection as possible!!).

As doug mentioned, it does happen sometimes with "Custom Cabinetmakers" too.
It's a very simple math issue that could have resolved it in two mins. It's lack of experience that tends to have that issue happen.
I agree, have them come out to fix it. Chances are, if it's unfinished on both sides meaning that there are cabinets that butt up to it, they will end up cutting the base off and putting the base down then put the cabinet on top of that.
For those of you who are interested in knowing the tallest cabinet you can put into your room and not have it touch the ceiling, this is how it goes.
A squared + B squared = C squared, but in the reverse.
C squared - B squared = A squared
C= the ceiling height you have
B= the smallest dimension that the cabinet will be. Measure the depth or the width of what the current cabinet is, or what you need to have.
A= the tallest cabinet you can put into the room based upon your static dimensions.
For instance:
If you have a double oven cabinet going in, which the standard depth is 24" and the width is typically 30" wide, you'll go with the 24" for the B squared.
So lets figure it like this:
I have a 96-1/4" ceiling height and a 30" wide by 24" deep cabinet.
C squared is 96.25x96.25 = 9264.0625
B squared is 24x24 = 576
A squared is 9264.0625-576 = 8688.0625 then hit the square root button and you get = 93.209........ which = 93-3/16" plus almost 1/32" but leave it at 93-3/16" as the tallest cabinet you could put into that room and it would quote un quote scrape the ceiling.
Hope this helps.

some 96 inch pantrys have a removable toe kick, see if the manufacturer can send one without the toekick attached
