Getting Home appliances for freight necessitates Thorough preparation. Disconnect water, gas, and power; drain hoses and internal water from washers, dishwashers, and fridges; and fasten doors, cords, and loose shelves. Our team suggests using the original packaging when available, or Heavy-duty cartons and pallets for protection. Clearly mark units as “Fragile – Appliance” and “Keep Dry” due to moisture sensitivity.
You can in some cases combine Countertop appliances with food prep equipment, but only with Careful packing.

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 Is strongly recommended beyond basic carrier liability.

Verify that your policy covers humidity damage, as many small appliances contain electronics that can fail after contact with water or high humidity.
Store domestic appliances in a Dry area, raised on pallets and away from exterior doors or damp walls. Keep kitchen gadgets, Cookware, and other boxed items off bare concrete floors, and add pallet covers or top sheets if humidity is high.

International shipments of powered kitchen appliances may be subject to Energy-efficiency rules in the destination country.
