I'd have fixed it or tried to first as well.
Sometimes the cost of delivery is worth it in the long run - as in if thats how you have to get your appliance(s) to your home so you can continue to function frugally, its worth it. (ie no driving to a laundromat) As in if its a hassle to ask your friend(s) with a truck to help out: they said yes to helping but you're having a hard time nailing down a date/time to actually do the deed.
One trick - sometimes its cheaper to rent the Home Depot/Lowe's truck for an hour to do your moving then paying the delivery fee. But thats only good if you have the know how/tools/muscle to do the moving/lifting.
