Refrigerator delivery
Part of Appliance delivery and haul-away
BoxHauls · Reviewed by John Marcus IV
Refrigerator delivery with BoxHauls costs $61.50 for a 5-mile trip in Fresno, including the $29 heavy-item fee. Every fridge rides upright, strapped to the front of the bed. It’s part of appliance delivery and haul-away.
Upright only
Laying a refrigerator on its side can let compressor oil into the cooling lines. BoxHauls moves refrigerators upright, every time.
Defrost 24 hours ahead
Empty it, unplug it and leave the doors open about 24 hours before pickup so the freezer defrosts and drains. Wipe it dry, then tape the doors shut for the ride.
Tight doorways
Most refrigerators are 28–36 inches wide and 28–36 inches deep. Removing the doors usually buys 2–4 inches. [TODO: whether drivers remove and reinstall refrigerator doors]
Two people
Request a helper for $17. Helpers aren’t guaranteed, so have a second person ready.

Questions
How much is refrigerator delivery in Fresno?
$61.50 for a 5-mile trip and $92.50 for 15 miles, including the $29 heavy-item fee. Add $17 for a helper.
Is the fridge moved upright?
Always. Laying a refrigerator down can let compressor oil run into the cooling lines, so BoxHauls moves them upright and strapped to the front of the bed.
What if the fridge won't fit through the door?
Removing the doors usually buys 2–4 inches. Measure the fridge's depth without doors and the narrowest doorway before booking. [TODO: whether drivers remove and reinstall refrigerator doors]
