RETAILER POLICIES · WHAT HAPPENS AFTER THE CLICK

Delivery, haul-away and returns at every retailer we compare

For a 300-pound appliance, delivery and haul-away are the second price. Two identical prices in a ladder are not equal when one includes white-glove delivery and removal of the old unit and the other is curbside with a 48-hour return window. This table says what each retailer publishes, in the retailer's own words, with the page linked.

Read a cell as the retailer's published rule, not a promise about your order: services and fees on major appliances are set at checkout by ZIP code at most of these retailers, and promotions that end on a date are not policies and are not here.

Why the second price matters

three things a price ladder cannot show

Delivery is not one number

Free parcel shipping over $35 says nothing about a refrigerator. Most retailers price appliance delivery, installation and haul-away at checkout by ZIP code — the table tells you who charges, who includes it, and who says nothing.

The return window is the real risk

Windows on major appliances run from 48 hours to 30 days, and several retailers charge a restocking fee after the first weeks. Inspect at the door: at most retailers, refusing a damaged delivery is the cleanest return there is.

Price matching turns a comparison into a discount

Retailers that publish a price-match policy will meet an authorized dealer's price on the same model, some for 30 days after purchase. A Fridge.com price ladder is the evidence they ask for.
