A Marketplace Appliance Pickup
A used fridge, washer, or stove is a real bargain — and one of the hardest items to move. Here's how to handle it.
Confirm It's Unplumbed and Ready
Ask the seller to disconnect and drain the appliance before the pro arrives. A fridge with water in the line or a washer with residual water means the pro waits.
Bring an Appliance Dolly
A fridge won't be hand-carried. Our pro brings an appliance dolly and straps. Confirm the appliance's weight when booking so the dolly and crew are right.
Keep It Upright
A fridge must be moved upright (the compressor). A washer should be, too. Tell the pro which appliance it is — the carry rules differ.
Measure Both Doorways
A 30-inch stove fits most doorways; a 36-inch fridge often doesn't. Measure the seller's doorway, the stairwell, and yours before booking.
The Van Is Sized to the Appliance
A stove fits a van; a tall fridge fits a van with the door cleared; a stackable washer-dryer fits a van. A standard refrigerator may need a box truck — tell us the model.
Reserve the Elevator
Appliances don't fit passenger elevators. Reserve the freight elevator at the seller's building and at yours, or the pro waits.
