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 a package in the USA is usually via USPS, especially for lightweight items (under 2 lbs) with Ground Advantage or First-Class Mail, or for heavier items using Priority Mail Flat Rate boxes if they fit, with costs varying by weight, size, and distance, but always compare rates on platforms like Pirate Ship or Stamps.com for commercial discounts. For heavier/larger items where USPS is slow, UPS Ground or FedEx Ground/Home Delivery can be competitive, especially with discounts.
