Appliance Delivery in Sydney: What to Expect and How to Prepare

Getting a new appliance delivered should be straightforward and stress-free. This guide walks you through what to expect from an Oceania Appliances delivery and how to prepare so everything goes smoothly.

Before Your Delivery: What to Do

Measure Your Space

Before your appliance arrives, confirm that:

• The appliance fits in its final position (width, depth, height)
• It can physically get through your doorways, hallways, and any tight corners en route to its final position
• For fridges: allow 2–5cm clearance on all sides and 5–10cm at the back for ventilation
• For washing machines: check proximity to water inlet and drain outlet

Standard doorways are typically 76–82cm wide. Standard fridges are 60–90cm wide. If you have tight access, tell us in advance and we'll plan appropriately.

Clear the Path

Remove any furniture, rugs, or obstacles along the delivery path. Having a clear path from your front door to the appliance's final position speeds up delivery significantly and reduces the risk of damage to your home and the appliance.

Prepare the Old Appliance (If We're Removing It)

If we're removing an old appliance:

• Fridge/freezer: Empty and defrost at least 24 hours before delivery
• Washing machine: Disconnect hoses and drain completely
• Air conditioner: Note that refrigerant must be properly reclaimed — we arrange this correctly

During Delivery

Our delivery team will:

• Contact you on the day to confirm an estimated arrival window
• Bring the appliance in carefully, protecting your floors and walls
• Position the appliance in its final location
• Level the appliance if needed (washing machines and fridges require this)
• Remove packaging

For fridges: allow the fridge 30–60 minutes to settle before switching on (longer if transported on its side, up to 4 hours).

For washing machines: we can connect the inlet hose and drain hose if your connections are accessible. For a first installation, a plumber may be needed to establish water connections.

After Delivery

• Test the appliance before our team leaves if possible
• Keep your receipt — this is your warranty document
• Call us if any issue arises — we're responsive and want to resolve problems quickly
