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.

Shipping a 20 lb package can cost from around $20 to over $100, depending heavily on the carrier (USPS, UPS, FedEx), distance, speed (Ground vs. Express), and if you use discounts or flat-rate options; expect roughly $20-$40 for Ground (USPS Ground Advantage, UPS Ground) and potentially $100+ for faster services, with USPS often cheapest for shorter distances and FedEx/UPS competitive for heavier or faster shipments.
