Getting Washing Machine Transport Quotes is Easy on Shiply

How To Find A Washing Machine Transport Service

Washing machines are not easy to move inside your own house, let alone between properties. They are heavy, awkwardly shaped, and likely will not fit in most domestic vehicles. For these reasons, whether you have sold a washing machine or purchased a new one, you will likely need a washing machine transport service to help you move your machine.

Normally this could involve some very tedious searching through phone books and internet pages, placing individual quote requests and waiting to receive them back to compare them. Whilst this will get your washing machine moved, it is not the best use of your time or your money!

On Shiply, all you need to do is upload some simple details about your desired move and companies who are ‘going there anyway’ will come to you directly with quotes, ready to book.

How Much Does Moving A Washing Machine Cost?

The quickest way to get a price for moving your washing machine is to collect quotes due to the number of varying factors that can affect the price of your washing machine move. However, to help give you an idea, these factors can affect the costs:

Washing Machine Size - It’s rare that you would see a ‘small’ washing machine, they all tend to be at least a minimum size and so for average washing machines, size should not be a problem. However, if your washing machine is particularly large, or is speciality machinery, this will likely cost you more as more men or a bigger vehicle may be needed to accommodate the larger machine.

Distance - Longer distances costing more is quite standard in the industry, so you can expect an interstate move to cost less than a cross-country one. However, the price per mile will go down for longer distances.

Timings - On Shiply our couriers are generally making similar journeys already and are trying to fit your delivery into their schedule. This allows them to offer much cheaper pricing, but also means they are a little less flexible in their availability. The more flexible you are able to be, the cheaper your delivery will be.

Locations - It does not happen too often, but if where you need the pick-up or drop-off is in a particularly remote location (not close to any other properties or urban areas) then you may have to pay a little extra as you would be far away from regular delivery routes.

How Can Shiply Help Find A Washing Machine Mover

There are plenty of people and services available to transport your washing machine, which can sometimes make it difficult to know where to start when trying to book one. Quotes will vary, as will timings, and it can be hard to keep track of what’s on offer to you.

On Shiply, we solve this issue by giving you one simple, easy space to request a delivery, receive quotes, compare them, and book for your washing machine to be moved. All we need from you is some basic information about your requirements such as the pick-up and drop-off locations, the desired timings, and the size/weight of the washing machine that needs to be transported. Once submitted, you will start to receive quotes within 30 minutes.

Our platform gives you the ability to view ratings and feedback from each company that quotes you, as well as a messaging system to ask any questions you may have so that you can book your washing machine transport in full confidence. Further, by using drivers who are ‘going there anyway’ you could be saving up to 75% off standard rates, as well as helping the environment by reducing the number of unnecessary delivery vehicles on the road.

Preparing For Your Washing Machine Transport

After comparing quotes and selecting one, you will need to prepare for your washing machine transport service to turn up. We recommend doing the following:

Packing - Washing machines are fairly robust, but they are expensive to fix and you will want to make sure that minimal damage can occur during transport. Wrap your machine in bubble wrap or cardboard for extra protection, and ensure it cannot roll around in the vehicle (the movers will have straps to help with this).

Photographs - Just in case damage does occur during transit you should make sure to take some high-quality photos of the washing machine before it is picked up. This will serve as evidence should an issue arise.

What To Do After Delivery

Once your washing machine has been dropped off, you should check over its condition and raise any issues or concerns with your chosen washing machine transporter as soon as possible.

Finally, we ask that you leave a review and a feedback score for your chosen service provider so that in the future users can know what to expect from them.
