Appliances Shipping Cost from Cleveland, Ohio to Chicago, Illinois

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 shipping service depends on the package, but USPS is generally best for lightweight items (under 2 lbs) with First-Class Mail, while UPS Ground / FedEx Ground are competitive for heavier domestic parcels; for significant savings, use third-party platforms like Pirate Ship or Stamps.com for discounted UPS/USPS rates, and consider USPS Flat Rate Boxes for convenient, fixed-price shipping.
