Appliances Shipping Cost from Bakersfield, California to Detroit, Michigan

Shipping a refrigerator typically costs $200 to $600 for domestic moves, but can range from local delivery for under $100 to over $1,000 for long distances or special handling, depending on size, weight, distance, and if you use standard freight (class 150) or specialized movers. Expect higher costs for long hauls or urgent needs, while smaller, lighter units (like mini-fridges) are cheaper to ship, and bigger, heavier models (250-400 lbs) cost more.
