Appliances Shipping Cost from Charlotte, North Carolina to Phoenix, Arizona

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.

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.

The cheapest way to ship boxes to another state depends on weight and size, but generally, USPS Ground Advantage is best for lighter items (under 20lbs) and Media Mail for books/media; for heavy, bulky boxes, UPS/FedEx Ground often wins, or consider freight/rideshare services (like Roadie, uShip) for very large/multiple boxes, comparing rates via platforms like Easyship or TSI Shipping. Always compare quotes, as flat-rate isn't always cheapest, and consolidating heavy items into fewer, heavier boxes (under 70lbs) can save money.
