Appliance Brands with the Fastest Delivery
It’s exciting to buy a new major appliance! Congratulations! Getting home your new dishwasher, fridge, or range and moved in now your problem.
Most people who buy appliances don’t have access to a truck and friends who have free time to help them move a refrigerator, dishwasher, or oven. You’ll probably have to have it delivered. At Spencer’s, we’ll arrange to have your brand-new appliance delivered and installed in your home for immediate use by our best technicians.
But before you hand over your debit card to purchase that shiny piece of metal, let’s find out exactly what appliance delivery involves and how long it takes. With our guide, you’ll know which appliance brands are experiencing delivery delays, a few alternative brands to choose from for faster deliveries, and what’s causing the delay.
If you are thinking about buying new home appliances, you may want to put that purchase on hold. And if you already have bought a refrigerator, range, oven, or cooktop from select appliance brands, chances are you haven’t seen or heard any news about when your appliances are coming. Your refrigerator delivery date has been pushed out again — you’ve emailed, called, and even chatted with customer support bots but still can’t get a definitive answer about when your appliances will be delivered after waiting for months. Why? Because there is an appliance shortage and select appliance brands are experiencing longer delivery delays than others.

Hot BuysWhat’s the Delay?
With the world still being in a global pandemic, underlying supply chain issues have been brought to light worldwide. At almost every stage, there are problems—material shortages halting the production of critical chips and parts, staff illnesses and isolation, lack of drivers, and even a shortage of workers to unload the goods at the port.
Combining these factors with high consumer demand and a generalized retail closure issue makes it hard to get French door refrigerators and smart dishwashers from your favorite brands. In some cases, manufacturers have months-long waiting lists and may not even be able to fulfill backorders before the end of the year.
Appliance Brands with Delayed Delivery
Most homeowners have experienced an appliance delivery being delayed for the last 2 to 14 months — depending on the brand. Here are a few high-end brands dealing with appliance shortages, backlog issues, and delays in appliance delivery.

Appliance Delay Tips
We know that the appliance delivery delays can be frustrating, but here at Spencer’s, we want to make sure our customers get the ranges, fridges, and washers and dryers they need from the appliance brands they want when they need them. If you have put shopping for new appliances on hold in fear of extended delivery times, here are a few tips to find appliances you need from the best brands without delay.
Check Buying Guides
Buying guides are informative and detailed, but they also provide critical information regarding stock availability at various retailers. Every day, data is gathered from dozens of shop websites to bring you the best prices and availability on any appliance you can imagine.
Consider Independent Retailers
Although major appliance retailers might be experiencing an appliance shortage, take a look at some of the smaller stores — they might still have appliances in stock.
Don’t limit your search to online either, as some physical stores might not have a website listing their stock. For instance, if you are in the Bay Area, pop in for a visit to Spencer’s TV & Appliance for our best supply of in-stock appliances to find that refrigerator, stove, or cooktop you’ve been dreaming of.
Sign Up for Notifications and Waiting Lists
Many retailers have a notification service that will notify you when an item is back in stock. Take advantage of this by setting up notifications to ensure you don’t miss out on your ideal appliance!
Smaller stores typically have waiting lists where you may sign up to be notified when appliances are back in stock. So, if you can wait a little longer, join and subscribe to Spencer’s email list or newsletters to be first in the know of what’s in our inventory!
Appliance Brands FAQs
Here are some of the frequently asked questions we’ve gotten from our Spencer’s shoppers about the appliance shortage and when to expect their appliances delivered.
Q: How long are appliances taking to ship?
For the most part, appliances can take 2 to 3 weeks to ship and arrive in 4 to 6 weeks. Unfortunately, many brands are experiencing even greater delays in their delivery times.
Q: Why are appliances so back-ordered?
The COVID-19 pandemic caused many factories to shut down. When factories resumed manufacturing, they struggled to fill both the backlog as well as new orders.
