My friend's refrigerator died this morning, so we ran around quickly during lunch for some quick appliance shopping. Here's the findings:
1. Home Depot -- free delivery but not hookup, but you get the impression it's shipping from a centralized location as the soonest quoted delivery was for another 2-3 weeks (w/out even checking the computer), maybe sooner if someone cancels their delivery date (had nothing to do w/ product avail but rather uber busy due to all the recent holiday sales).
2. Sears -- $69 delivery + $10 disposal fee of old unit, former is refundable via rebate which will take 8 wks or so (to make sure you don't return the product I'm sure).
3. Best Buy -- baseline models are higher than HD and Lowes, but they did have floor models w/ scratch and dent avail if you find the one you like. $30 delivery or free if you buy the $159 geek squad warranty plan.
4. Lowe's -- free delivery AND hookup (ie ice line), next day avail if appliance in stock. The inventory actually is sold by store and on premises, hence why they can deliver so quick. Ding ding, winner if your model is here!
