Before you move a large appliance, be sure to measure and remeasure the piece of equipment and the space to be sure it will fit. Also, measure any doorways and hallways through which it will need to pass on its way to its destination. Finally, make sure there is a properly grounded electrical outlet which matches the fittings on the appliance. Appliances should be well crated and packed before shipping. Be especially careful of glass cooktops and stove ranges. In many cases, it may be preferable to have a professional mover to ship big items. When working with a freight shipper on a large-appliance move, be sure you understand how far they will ship the appliance -- will they leave it on the sidewalk for you to wrestle into the house by yourself or will they bring it in and set it up? Do not expect delivery teams to uncrate and set up appliances without being there yourself. If the appliance appears damaged or ruined, refuse the shipment and insist on returning it for an undamaged one.
