Fridge free delivery and installation

[juless77]

I am wanting to purchase an integral under the counter cheap fridge and would like free delivery and installation if not free at least cheap the sites I have been looking on are costing around the same as buying the fridge itself anyone know of anywhere many thanks.:thumbs-up

You do know there's no such thing as free installation? Who do you think pays for it?

Do you think the fridge installer spends the day under your worktop for nothing? Does the manufacturer who makes the fridge pay them? Or the distributor?

How do you think this works?

I have got white goods and appliances from Marks Electrical and got a good price and they often do free delivery but the installation won't be free. Sometimes free installation is offered but that will mainly be for freestanding not integrated

😂and I thought it was me asking the question

😂it just doesn't make any sense when you think about it. Someone has got to pay the installer, I'm not sure who you think is going to come and install an integrated electrical kitchen appliance for free for you!

Even "free delivery" isn't free, the delivery company need paying, you pay for that, it's just built into the cost of the thing that you're buying, as part of the business model. You know that though surely.

The things that generally get offers of free installation are things that don't tend to really need installing much anyway, so a freestanding fridge or freezer, which generally needs just pushing into position and plug put in

Surely if its a little fridge under counter then you just stand it a day or two to settle then plug it in and away it goes, no installation needed. Delivery person /people will usually bring it in for you, unwrap to check no damage so may push it into place too if you ask nicely.

Try `AO

I can’t see how it would be hard to install a fridge . Don’t you just plug it in ?

Or see if you have Wonnacotts near they delivered my american ff for free. Charged £30 to take old one away.

Have you tried John Lewis?

It's integral so needs fitting into the cabinet.

I haven't used AO recently as you now have to sign up to some membership thing which is a direct debit/recurring payment each year of around £40 which you have to cancel like a subscription. It gives you free delivery and sometimes installation/ package removal but is only really worth it if you buy a few things a year, not something I often do with large electrical items. Also if you forget to cancel it then it just carries on taking the subscription. Without this subscription, delivery is quite expensive

You aren't going to get free installation for integrated appliances. They're expensive to install, that's just the nature of them.

Are you replacing like for like? If so I would think it would dead easy if you pay attention to how the old one was installed. Also, watch a you tube video or 10.

Failing that, buy it and then find a local handy person. Shouldn't be a long job.

This is optional you don't have to buy in unless its very recently changed.
