Where to buy a small refrigerator online?

I need to buy a small refrigerator (I'd really like to find something like this), but I need to have it shipped to my apartment... I don't have a vehicle to transport it in right now. I tried ordering one from walmart.com, and THREE TIMES in a row the fridge was absolutely destroyed in the shipping process. I have Amazon Prime and would love to buy the fridge at the link above, but it seems, based on the product reviews, that others have had the same experience as me.

So my question is: Has anyone successfully ordered a small fridge online?

You're likely to have this problem for any large heavy object shipped via UPS or Fedex (though fedex seems better from my experience...UPS looks like they drive over all my packages before they deliver them). So barring them, the only option is expensive freight shipping if you can find someplace that will do that.

Surely you can find a local appliance store that will deliver something like this for you?

I ordered mine online through bestbuy.com and they delivered from the nearest location. I definitely recommend this process.

Back when I first moved into my house and had no fridge, my furture mother-in-law bought one for me off of Amazon. Shipped it right to my door without a scratch.
