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 large items often involves using freight brokers (like Shiply for one-offs) for big/heavy things, LTL carriers (like FedEx Freight/UPS Freight) for boxed items, or third-party shipping sites (Pirate Ship/Easyship) to get discounted ground rates from USPS/UPS/FedEx, focusing on minimizing dimensional weight (DIM) by using the smallest box possible and considering freight options for over 70 lbs.
