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 US is usually USPS Ground Advantage for most items under 1lb, or Media Mail for books/educational materials, but for heavier or faster needs, compare rates using online tools, as USPS Priority Mail is great for lighter items, while FedEx Ground / UPS Ground can be better for heavier packages, and always use your own box unless USPS Flat Rate makes sense.
