We need a new washing machine and can get good deals at the Sears scratch

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.


You *might* damage the suspension mechanism or tub if you transport it
on its side. *How lucky do you feel?

Doesn't McLowes Depot offer free delivery?


Why would McLowes Depot deliver a washer bought at Sears for free?
