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 shipping company depends on your package, but USPS is generally cheapest for small, light items, using services like Ground Advantage or Media Mail; for heavier packages, UPS Ground / Saver and FedEx Ground often compete, but USPS Ground Advantage is still strong, while using platforms like Pirate Ship or ShipStation gives you big discounts on all carriers. Always compare rates for weight, size, and destination, as surcharges can make UPS/FedEx expensive, notes Pitney Bowes and Easyship.
