Getting large appliances for freight demands methodical work. Disconnect water, gas, and power; drain hoses and internal water from washers, dishwashers, and fridges; and tape doors, cords, and loose shelves.

Individually Wrap glass lids, ceramic bakeware, and appliance attachments, and avoid overloading any single carton to keep weight manageable and prevent crushing.
Because white goods are heavy and relatively high value, extra insurance makes sense beyond basic carrier liability. Our team suggests declaring the full replacement value for fridges, ranges, washers, and premium countertop appliances. Verify that your policy covers water exposure, as many Domestic appliances contain electronics that can fail after contact with water or high humidity.
Store domestic appliances in a moisture-controlled area, raised on pallets and away from exterior doors or damp walls. Keep small appliances, bakeware, and other boxed items off bare concrete floors, and apply pallet covers or top sheets if humidity is high. Avoid outdoor staging or open docks during rain, and do not shrink-wrap warm appliances immediately after use, as trapped condensation can damage electronics.
International shipments of powered kitchen appliances may be subject to import regulations in the destination country. Our team suggests that kitchen appliances comply with local voltage, plug type, and certification requirements (such as CE, UKCA, or other regional marks). Include accurate product descriptions and HS codes for small appliances on commercial invoices and packing lists to reduce customs delays and potential fines.
