Buying Appliances Online - Bad idea?

[greatblueheron]

While I did research well beforehand, I bought online a refrigerator, dishwasher, oven and microwave all at same co.

NO problems of any kind!

i figured i would freecycle anything i couldn't unload cheaply on craigslist. but habitat is even better!

When I said everything I meant everything. Countertops, appliances, cabinets, fixtures, the whole thing. It was down to the sheetrock on the walls and concrete subfloor on the floor when they were done. Ok, the last part was from me breaking out the tile but you get the idea. Completely bare room. They removed everything in the order that it was installed 18 years prior and didn't bang up anything on their way out. I was able to get to work installing the floor minutes after they left.

ended up scoring pretty good deals at a local place. some were slightly more expensive than the online stores i was considering, but in the end, it was marginal.
