Melinda and I have recently discussed the possibility of getting a new refrigerator because we really aren’t a fan of our current old ugly white one. The one thing I am debating if we do decide to make this HUGE purchase is if I should get home delivery or borrow my friends’ truck and pick it up.
My ultimate fridge would be stainless steel and maybe have a TV on the front as well but I will settle for one that holds milk and other snack items on the outside of the door. See how I went from a man fridge to a family fridge, LOL. The reason I want this is so the kids don’t have to open up the refrigerator a hundred times throughout the day.
In additional to a new fridge another household item we really want is a new washer and dryer. The one we currently have is not water or energy efficient and sometimes a simple load of laundry will cause it to almost fly out of the laundry room. We actually looked at a few sets a few months back but kind of backed off due to the expense. The one thing I did notice is that a lot of places these days do offer FREE appliance delivery which is a good thing. The only problem is a lot of places sub out the work to a furniture delivery company and I find it takes a few days before it is delivered. Not that a few days is a long time but If you know anything about me I am an instant gratification type of guy and once I pull the trigger to buy something I don’t want to wait for it to be delivered but I will admit getting it delivered is no hassle which is a huge bonus.
When you buy a large item do you prefer to take it yourself or have it delivered?
