Household devices is a truly wide section of products, and that influences what's the safest way to secure them for shipment as well as the safest way to ship them. We can roughly group household appliances into two subcategories, all with individual best method of shipment – small household devices and big household devices. In the first subcategory you’ll find every device that can easily fit into a passenger car, e.g. microwaves, blenders, juice makers, toasters, boiling pots and so on. These things you may without much effort transport inside your own car – either on the back seat or in car booth. Small household appliances are also more durable on the road than the big household devices. In the big household devices subsection you’ll find devices like: fridges, washers, washing machines, tumble-dryers as well as many more. Almost every one of them may be safely transported in a regular vehicle which is why it ought to be entrusted to professionals. 

Regardless of which household appliances you need to ship, when it comes to securing your devices for the time of transportation, there are a few guidelines that are universal for every appliance. First of all, it is best to ship devices in their original cardboards. These boxes are best fitted to the dimensions of the appliance which can help to minimize the danger of some shocks on the road breaking your cargo. To be very safe, you can fill all the empty spaces with Styrofoam or bubble wrap. When it comes to minor household appliances, this will most likely be enough to guarantee their safe journey. However for large household devices there are a few additional things to have in mind.

The drum is the less durable element of the washing machine but an important one – harming the drum may mean permanent damage and a need to buy a new washing machine. The next point is, as stated above, securing the doors. Even if you are positive that the doors won’t open while on the road, you should nonetheless secure it with some tape to be certain it absolutely cannot open on the road. There is a number of situations on the road that can demand a driver to unexpectedly turn or brake and you have to be positive that the devices won’t open even then. Doors that are not suitably secured are prone to damages because the hinges are rarely very durable. After the doors are secured, you ought to think about cords as well as water lines. They can stay connected to the device (particularly if you have no expert knowledge about assembling household devices), but you should tie them together (for example with some cord) to prevent them from getting tangled.

After the doors and cables of your appliances are secured, the next step is to protect your load from dents and scratches. That entails mainly securing the edges and fragil
