To ship a washer and dryer, you need to prepare it by cleaning, disconnecting utilities, and securing the drum (especially for washers with shipping bolts ), then protect it with blankets/foam, and finally arrange shipping via a specialized LTL freight carrier or marketplace like uShip, ensuring it's crated or palletized, strapped securely, and clearly labeled for safe, cost-effective transport, often as Less-Than-Truckload (LTL) freight.
