Is it worth bringing white goods to Spain?
Our white goods are about 5 years old but there could be years left in them.
We are trying to reduce our payload to fit a van. White goods are heavy and large. Does anyone have prices for them?
An upright freezer of about 8 cuft.
Under worktop washing machine.
Fridge of about 6 cuft.
We would be grateful for any in formation.

We looked into this. By the time you have paid for haulage it just is not worth the cost. Bring over only those things that have sentimental value to you.
One truck could work out to around 2-3000€ How much white goods and other furniture could you buy brand new with that?

It was just to show a few prices really.
They have big call in stores all over the place and usually have an English speaker in the staff, they sell everything with electrickery on it, from hair curlers to American fridges, so you could find everything you need in one place.

Re: Is it worth bringing white goods to Spain?
Here are few shops that have prices on the web sites. There are lots more and we would recommend that once here you have a look at the smaller shops too as we have found that some have good prices and they know the good they sell hence honest advice.

The last one is only here in the North but it will give you some idea of what prices to expect.

Be vert careful transporting Freezers and fridges once they have been running, the gas can leak in transit and they may not work after you have brought them over.

Re: Is it worth bringing white goods to Spain?
Dont agree. We brought washing machine and tumble dryer here 4 years ago and they are both working fine. The only reason we didn't keep the fridge freezer was that it did not fit in with the new kitchen which we had installed a year later. So bringing goods definitely saved us money.
