Default How to move kitchen appliances safely?

I'm moving 30 miles away, and my stuff's being put inside a Luton Van.

I've got the 3 kitchen usuals - wash machine, fridge & a freezer.

Is there anything that I can stand them on inside the van to cushion
their journey?

The only thing I can think of is a big sheet of big-bubble bubblewrap,
but that sounds kind of ridiculous.


They will be happier standing on a firm floor. Fit the original transport
fixings to the washing machine, or take the top off and tie the drum so that
it cannot wobble about. Cover the appliances with old blankets and strap
well to the internal goods rails.

Better still, get a removals firm to do the job - they have proper insurance
for your stuff while it is transit. You almost certainly will not be covered
if anything happens on the journey.
