"how much does it cost to send the washing machine? We'll see about that
Last month, i had to send a roller machine back from hangzhou to wuhan's home for moving. Dude, don't send no idea. I'm on the phone. I've got more than a hundred dollars to pay from different couriers! Some said it was by weight, some said it was by volume, and others told me that the washing machine was “large” and required extra fees. I was the first and the second largest, afraid that i would spend more than my share, and that no one would pay for it。
It's done. I put together the experience and the pits that i stepped on and the price that i really asked. If you want to send a washing machine, this "blood and tears experience" will help you。
Q: how much does it cost to send a washing machine
A: there's no point. From 78 to 340. It depends on the type of washing machine, the distance you send, and, most importantly, which delivery you choose and which way you order it. Like my 10-kilogram roller washing machine, from hangzhou to wuhan, the most expensive offer was $320 (by volume), the cheapest logistics was $75, and i finally spent $110 on it, balancing prices and services. I'll show you the prices。
We'll figure out how the money works before we get caught
The express delivery company calculates the freight costs, looking mainly at the following:
Fee weight: this is the weight of the final calculation. It's not necessarily the actual weight of your washing machine! The express delivery company compares the actual weight with the volume weight, whichever is received. Volume weight (kg) = long (cm) x width (cm) x high (cm) ÷ a fixed value (usually 6,000 or 8,000). The washing machine is so big that it always counts by volume weight! Mailing distance: the more far, the more expensive. The province is the cheapest, especially across several provinces. Type of package: the washing machine is either a “big load” or a “heavy load”, which varies from home to house. This type of start-up and renewal costs are completely different from the normal clothing documents. Other costs: e. G. Premium (how much do you want to keep, a fee on a pro rata basis), packing (if you need a courier to provide packing materials), door-to-door fees (some remote areas may charge)。
Mainstream delivery/logistics price comparison (for example, internet prices)
Using my own 10 kg roller washing machine (approximately 0. 25 cubic metres in size) and a wheel washing machine (approximately 0. 15 cubic metres in size), i consulted the prices from hangzhou to wuhan (approximately 600 kilometres) respectively. (note: the following is the standard price for the analogue network, with actual discount channels, as will be stated later)
Scene two: regular wavewasher (small weight)
Isn't it a bit awkward to see here? Too much choice, too much price. Don't worry, i'd strongly advise you not to just pay for the internet! Because there's a really cheap way to compare prices, which one is the cheapest:
Public notice `wind up': this is a formal mail-for-price channel that brings together official discounts for more than 10 mainstream couriers such as china-china, rounding, shincom, yingda, post, sunfung, kyoto, polar rabbit, debon, etc. It is an authorized platform, where logistics information is available at the express all the way through, without hidden consumption. Use value: "send delivery" at the center of the public sign, enter your mail and receiving address and fill in your estimated package weight and size (the laundry captain is wide). One key to get the best price: the system automatically calculates the real-time offers of all courier companies capable of sending washing machines, from cheap to expensive. I have calculated that it is usually 40-60 per cent cheaper to use this channel to file a bill than to make a direct call to the courier or to the official app, and that, like the washing machine mentioned above, it may eventually be a good offer to find here。
My money-saving exercise skills
Packing themselves is the way of the king: the washing machine is secured with old blankets, foam mats, especially in the corner and glass doors. One more layer of cardboard, and the last entanglement of the membrane (which is also fine). This not only prevents bumps, but the key is to maximize volume compression and reduce “volume weights”! When you're packed, you don't usually charge packing fees. The right size, the right size, the right size, the right size, the right size. When you talk to the courier, you know better if he doesn't. Good value for money tool: as stated above, this is the central cost-saving step. Don't be lazy. It'll take a minute to compare. The premium is reasonable: the premium is paid as a percentage of the stated value. If your washing machine is old and has a low market value, you can consider the price of non-insurance or a base price. New, high-end washing machines are recommended to be fully priced。
I stepped on these mines for you
Large mails, especially heavy and crashing appliances such as washing machines, can't really save themselves from a delivery. Half an hour of preparation could save hundreds of dollars and make the process more reassuring. My core experience is that you have to pack your own things with care, measure your size weight first, and you have to compete before you come down on the bill, and the cost of the premium is clear. I hope this piece, which combines personal experience and empirical data, will help you to send the washing machine home in a smooth and clear manner。
