Appliances Shipping Cost from Detroit, Michigan to Louisville, Kentucky

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.

For cheap heavy package shipping, compare FedEx Ground/UPS Ground for most items (especially over 10-20 lbs), use USPS Ground Advantage for lighter heavy items (under ~70lbs, short distances), and explore Freight Shipping (like UPS Freight/FedEx Freight) for extremely heavy or bulky items (over 150 lbs or palletized). Always compare quotes on platforms like Parcel Monkey, Sendal, or directly with carriers, focusing on ground services for best rates.
