Why Is Shipixy the Best Choice to Ship Appliances?

Safe Handling of Heavy Items

Sending household items is not similar to small package shipping. They require special treatment as they are heavy and delicate.
Shipixy collaborates with companies that train their carriers on how to transport heavy appliances without breaking or dropping them on the floor.
This minimizes the chances of scratches, dents, or any damage during transportation.

Flexible Shipping Choices

We offer you the choice of whether to send only one washing machine or multiple appliances at once.
We offer Less-than-truckload (LTL) services for smaller shipments and Full Truckload (FTL) for larger shipments.
By doing this, you only pay for the space that you utilize, and this saves money, yet you have access to quality service.

Easy Tracking and Support

You do not need to wonder about the location of your appliances once they are on their way.
Our system offers 24/7 tracking to enable you to check on the progress of your shipment at any time of the day.
