Appliance delivery in Cape Town

Appliance delivery in Cape Town is a question of which building. A fridge from Canal Walk into a Parklands house rolls straight through a ground-floor door; the same fridge into a Sea Point or Gardens flat has to fit a lift that was designed in the 1960s. We ask for the floor, the lift and the doorway before dispatch, because a double-door fridge is the item that most often does not fit.

Cape Town is SHIMI's Western Cape lane, and it is a metro built out of four very different delivery problems: the Northern Suburbs around Bellville, the Southern Suburbs along the M3, the Atlantic Seaboard and City Bowl, and the West Coast strip up the R27. We move furniture, appliances and once-off loads across all of them, with the price fixed on distance and vehicle class before you book and a driver who helps load and offload at both ends.

Delivering a fridge, washer or stove in Cape Town? Heavy, expensive appliances get a right-sized vehicle and careful, hands-on handling. You describe the load, we suggest the smallest vehicle that fits, and the driver helps load and offload at both ends. The price is fixed upfront from the distance and vehicle class, so a run in Cape Town costs exactly what the quote says. Book online in a couple of minutes, follow the trip on a live link, and get a timestamped photo when it's placed.

Getting to your door in Cape Town

The part most quotes ignore, and the part that decides how long the job takes.

Two things decide a Cape Town delivery, and neither is the distance. The first is the building: Sea Point, Green Point and the CBD are full of older blocks with small lifts, no loading bay and paid street parking, so the carry is the job. The second is the wind. The South-Easter runs hard along the R27 and across the Cape Flats for days at a time, which matters for a high-sided truck and for anything that has to be covered, and it is why we would rather know what you are moving before we pick the vehicle.

What's included

Careful, hands-on handling

The driver helps lift and place your appliance. Add extra offloading assistance when there are stairs or a heavy double-door unit.

Sized to the appliance

One unit on a bakkie, a fridge-and-washer pair on a 1.5-ton, a full run on a 4-ton. We suggest the right size so you do not overpay.

Proof it arrived

Live tracking end to end and a timestamped photo when it is placed, useful whether it is your fridge or a store's customer delivery.

Appliance delivery questions

Yes, Cape Town is core SHIMI coverage. We collect and deliver across Bellville, Claremont, Sea Point, Table View and the surrounding areas at the Gauteng rate, with same-day dispatch on most local bookings.

The building usually decides, not the load. Describe what you are moving and the address when you book, and we suggest the smallest vehicle that can actually reach the door — the access notes for Cape Town are on this page.

A single fridge usually fits a half-ton bakkie or a 1.5-ton truck. The price comes from the distance and vehicle class with loading help included, and you see it upfront. Get an exact figure for your route from the quote box.

Yes. Two large appliances together are a good fit for a 1.5-ton truck. Describe both items when you book and we will suggest the right vehicle and price it upfront.

The driver helps load and offload. For stairs, tight doorways or very heavy units, add extra offloading assistance at the quote step so there are enough hands to place it safely.
