Many online retailers understand that as a home owner you may not have the skills or time to install your appliances yourself.
In addition to install concerns is the removal of your old appliance. Some municipalities charge you extra and make you schedule appliance pickups that can mean the difference in cost of buying online and buying at a local store so some online dealers have started to offer both install and takeaway as part of your purchase price.
These extras that are often included by local retailers should be accounted for when you are shopping for deals online.
If you are buying from a national chain and place your order online you can expect these services to be available but what about other online retailers?
Who Provides install services for Online Appliance Purchases?
Since many manufacturers sell directly through sites like Amazon.com they understand that you will need extra service beyond dropoff at your front door.
Amana is one such manufacturer that has teamed up with Amazon for order fulfillment and J.B Hunt for delivery and install services. However all manufacturers sold by or through third party services on Amazon can include these extra install and take away services.
These appliances and services can also be purchased through the YouRepair.com Store. Which is a great feature to offer our visitors.
Basically there are two ways to order the service of install and removal.
You can purchase through a Amazon and the price will be discounted or you can purchase through a third party on Amazon and order the service at time of checkout.
At this time they offer the service for major appliances such as Ranges, gas and electric dryers and washers and also refrigerators.
If you purchase your refrigerator from Amazon or the YouRepair.com store the cost is under $40 for install and haul away of your refrigerator.
This is really not a bad deal considering you will need to have the appliance delivered to your home and you will need to remove the old appliance. The small fee means you don’t have any bruised knuckles or bashed door jams and if you don’t feel up to doing the job on your own it lets you take advantage of online discounts and not have to worry.
