We need a new washing machine and can get good deals at the Sears scratch
and dent. I mean it could be really dented and who cares, its in the
basement.

But it seems that new washing machines may have some sort of drum lock that
you remove after instalation. If it has one, well if there is lock for
upright shipping what about no lock transported on it side.

Oh and of course the reason is we can transport it on its side ways but not
upright in my wife Vue.
