Buying appliances on Facebook Marketplace saves hundreds, but picking up a fridge or washer without the right equipment is dangerous. Here's how professional Marketplace appliance pickup works in Ontario.
Marketplace Appliance Pickup: How to Get Facebook Marketplace Appliances Delivered Safely
Appliances are one of the best deals on Facebook Marketplace in Ontario. A fridge that costs $1,500 new can be found for $300-$600. A washer and dryer set worth $2,000+ can be purchased for $400-$800. But appliances are heavy, awkward, and require specific equipment to move safely.
This guide covers professional Marketplace appliance pickup in Ontario, how it works, what it costs, and why it's worth it.
Why Appliance Pickup Is Different From Furniture Pickup
Appliances present unique challenges that furniture doesn't:
Weight: A standard fridge weighs 200-300 lbs. A washer weighs 150-200 lbs. Moving these without proper equipment risks serious injury.
Fragility: Fridges must be transported upright (or allowed to settle before use if tilted). Washers have drum components that can be damaged by improper transport.
Size: Appliances are bulky and awkward. Getting a fridge through a doorway requires specific technique and experience.
Connections: Gas appliances require professional disconnection. Water connections need to be properly drained before transport.
Regulations: Some appliances (gas stoves, gas dryers) require licensed technicians for disconnection and reconnection.
The Case for Professional Appliance Pickup
For most buyers, professional appliance pickup is worth the cost:
Safety: Moving a 250 lbs. fridge without proper equipment and technique risks serious back injury. GoGedit drivers are trained in appliance handling.
Equipment: GoGedit drivers have appliance dollies, moving straps, and the right vehicle for appliance transport. A standard hand truck is not adequate for most appliances.
Experience: Drivers know how to navigate appliances through doorways, around corners, and up stairs without damage.
Cost comparison:
- Cargo van rental: $80-$150
- Appliance dolly rental: $20-$40
- Your time: 3-5 hours
- Risk of injury: Significant
- GoGedit appliance pickup: $85-$140
The math often favors professional pickup.
How GoGedit Marketplace Appliance Pickup Works
Step 1: Find Your Appliance
Browse Facebook Marketplace and find the appliance you want. Always test before paying, run the appliance through a complete cycle if possible.
Step 2: Book GoGedit
Book online at GoGedit.ca. Specify that you're picking up an appliance and provide the type (fridge, washer, dryer, stove, etc.). GoGedit will confirm the appropriate vehicle and equipment.
Step 3: Seller Coordination
GoGedit contacts the seller to arrange pickup timing. The seller should have the appliance disconnected and ready for pickup.
Step 4: Professional Pickup
Your GoGedit driver arrives with an appliance dolly and moving straps. The appliance is carefully loaded and secured for transport.
Step 5: Delivery to Your Home
Your appliance is delivered to your home and placed in the designated location. GoGedit does not include installation (water connections, gas connections, electrical connections) arrange this separately.
Appliance-Specific Pickup Rules
Refrigerators
Transport rule: Fridges should be transported upright whenever possible. If a fridge must be tilted, allow it to stand upright for the same amount of time it was tilted before plugging in.
Before pickup: Defrost completely. Remove all food and shelves. Tape the doors shut.
GoGedit equipment: Appliance dolly, moving straps, padding for handles and corners.
Washers and Dryers
Transport rule: Washers should have drum transport bolts installed before moving. If original bolts are missing, the drum can be damaged during transport.
Before pickup: Disconnect water supply and drain hoses. Run a spin cycle to remove residual water.
GoGedit equipment: Appliance dolly, moving straps.
Stoves and Ovens
Gas stoves: Must be disconnected by a licensed gas technician. Do not attempt to disconnect gas appliances yourself.
Electric stoves: Can be disconnected by unplugging or disconnecting the electrical connection.
Before pickup: Remove oven racks. Clean the interior to prevent odors during transport.
Dishwashers
Before pickup: Disconnect water supply and drain hose. Remove from the cabinet if built-in.
Testing Appliances Before You Pay
Always test appliances before paying the seller. This is non-negotiable.
Fridge: Confirm it's cold. Check all compartments. Test the ice maker if present. Check door seals.
Washer: Run a short wash cycle. Check for leaks. Confirm the drum spins smoothly.
Dryer: Run a short drying cycle. Confirm heat is produced. Check the lint trap.
Stove: Test all burners. Preheat the oven to 350F and confirm it reaches temperature.
Dishwasher: Run a short cycle. Check for leaks. Confirm the spray arms rotate.
