How To Ship Appliances

Shipping appliances, whether a fridge, freezer, dishwasher, or similar, can often be quite tricky due to the, being large, heavy items that cannot be disassembled. What’s more, we will often want to take them with us when we move as it is something we have spent a lot of money on. Regardless of whether you are moving, selling, or buying an appliance, Shiply can help.

On our platform, you can find hundreds of shipping companies, or more accurately they can find you! Shiply provides an easy place to receive and compare quotes for your appliance shipping needs, often at up to 75% less than standard rates.

How Much Does It Cost To Ship Appliances?

In general, for an appliance shipping service, you can expect to pay around $1.81 per mile for shorter trips and $0.59 per mile for longer journeys.

There are however a number of things that can affect the price of your appliance shipping aside from distance, namely:

Appliance Size - Most appliances are large and heavy, which is why you can’t use a standard post service to send them. However, there is still a difference between a small washing machine and a two-door fridge-freezer, and as such the size of the appliance you need to be moved may affect the pricing as it will determine what vehicle size is needed.

Timings - Should you need your appliance picked up or delivered by a certain time, this may cost you more. This is because a new vehicle will likely be needed to complete your appliance delivery, rather than fitting your appliance into an existing delivery route.

Locations Of Pickup And Delivery - If the locations of your pick-up and drop-off sites are remote (nowhere near any urban areas) then this may raise the price of your appliance delivery service

Time Of Year - Whilst unlikely, certain roads and routes can be blocked by ice, wind, and snow at certain times in the year. If this is the case for your delivery, a longer route may need to be taken for the appliance shipping which could cost more.

How Can Shiply Help Find Appliance Delivery Services?

So, now you know roughly how much appliance movers can cost, but how do you find one? This is where Shiply comes in. On our site there are hundreds of appliance movers ready to bid on your job, meaning you don’t need to go out and spend time manually searching for an appliance delivery service, you can have them all come to you.

All we need from you are some simple details about your job such as the pick-up and drop-off locations, what appliance/appliances need moving, and the desired dates. Once you create a listing, appliance shippers will start to send quotes to you for you to compare. Our system has a feedback and ratings score incorporated into it so you can get an idea of the level of service to expect, and you will also have the ability to message each appliance mover with any specific questions.

Not only does Shiply make it easy to compare and select quotes from appliance shipping services, but it is also up to 75% cheaper than usual delivery rates. This is because many drivers on our platform are ‘going there anyway’ and are looking to fill spare space in their vehicles. Further, by using Shiply you are helping reduce unnecessary CO2 waste by ensuring there are fewer delivery vehicles on the roads.

Preparing For Your Appliance To Be Shipped

If you have chosen an appliance delivery service and are happy to go ahead then you will need to prepare your appliance for pick-up. We suggest the following:

Documents - If the appliance is going overseas or being sold to someone else then you may need some documentation, whether that’s customs paperwork, electrical information, or user guides. We always recommend getting this in order before pick-up to avoid any last-minute issues.

Cleaning And Photographing - Cleaning and photographing your appliance before pick-up is a great way to ascertain what condition it is in and ensure you have proof of this in the unlikely event that any damages occur in transit.

Working Condition - In the same vein as checking the physical condition, you should ensure that your appliance is operating exactly as expected before your appliance delivery service arrives as this will make it easier to identify any issues on the other end.

Packing - Most appliances are not able to be disassembled, so you need to ensure that they are adequately packed so as to avoid damage in transit. You should try wrapping your appliance in bubble wrap or something similar, and you should ensure that it will not be able to move or fall during the journey.  If you are unsure or unable to safely wrap and pack your appliance then make sure to ask your appliance mover if they are able to help on our platform’s messaging system.

What To Do After Delivery

If your appliance has been successfully delivered then the number one priority is to check over both its physical and operating condition - you can use the photographs you took prior to pick-up to compare against.

Finally, we also ask that you leave feedback and a review score for your chosen appliance shipper so that future Shiply users can know what to expect from them.
