How to prepare your fridge freezer for moving and what precautions to take?
Before shipping your refrigerator by courier, make sure to prepare it for transportation in advance:
- empty out the fridge;
- unplug the fridge and open all its doors to start defrosting it;
- defrost the fridge (it usually takes 4 to 8 hours) and clean it well to make sure there is no defrosted water inside;
- Attach the moving parts (trays, drawers, shelves, etc.) using adhesive tape. Otherwise, remove such parts and pack them separately in a cardboard box filled with cushioning materials (e.g. packing peanuts or crumpled paper).

FAQ on the safest and cheapest way to move/send a fridge freezer domestically or overseas
Will I damage my refrigerator if I transport it on its side?
It is best to avoid transporting a fridge in a lying position, especially on its back, as there is a great risk of the engine oil damaging the compressors. This is why we advise you to transport your refrigerator vertically (in a standing position) or at an angle greater than 45o. If there is no other choice and you cannot avoid transporting your fridge on its side, be sure to put it in an upright position at the moment of its delivery, but do not plug it in immediately. Before turning it on, you should wait for as long as it has been lying on its side.
How much does it cost to ship a refrigerator by courier?
The cost of shipping always depends on the size and weight of the item, as well as on how far the shipping destination is located. Eurosender offers you transport solutions that are among the cheapest ones on the market! Our booking platform will automatically select for you a transport service with the best price/quality ratio!
Will shipping my refrigerator by courier with Eurosender be insured?
When shipping with us, every shipment is insured! We never compromise when it comes to safety. The insurance value will vary depending on the service chosen. Additional insurance for packages is also available at low rates. We strongly advise you to always keep the original invoice for your items since it serves as proof of value if needed. Please consider that insurance may not be valid for used or second-hand electronic devices.
