Appliances Shipping Cost from Aurora, Colorado to San Diego, California

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.

Shipping a 20 lb package costs roughly $20-$40 for ground services (like UPS Ground or USPS Ground Advantage) for shorter distances, but can range from $30 to over $100+ depending on speed (express is much pricier) and distance, with faster options like FedEx/UPS Next Day Air costing significantly more ($100+) and USPS Priority being a mid-range choice. Expect to pay around $30-$40 for ground, while faster services can double or triple that.

Defrost refrigerators at least 24 hours ahead of time. Remove and pack all shelves and drawers separately. Clean and pack ovens, all racks, knobs, and grills separately. Washers and dryers should have their hoses removed and packed by themselves — with the dryer's drum properly secured.
