You could try Lopez at Antas or there is the electrical suppliers just up from Iceland in Vera or Tien21 on the road towards Garrucha on the way out of Vera....

The one near Iceland is called the FACTORY.  They are reasonably priced and will deliver. You might get lucky and get a delivery today. Remember it’s a red weekend so others might not deliver until Tuesday.

Don't forget you need to leave them standing not plugged in for up to 24 hours!

I did as well. I think everyone does because they are too excited to wait. But I have heard the 24 hour thing before.

Let it stand 

The first thing to think about is how long you need to ‘let it stand’. 

Fridges and freezers are full of fluid that’s used to cool the compartments. In transit, your appliance gets shaken around, so it’s best to let everything settle before you plug it in. 

If it was transported upright, give it at least an hour before you plug it in. 

If it was transported on its side, turn it the right way up and leave it for at least four hours. 

The above is from the Curry 's website, hope it's useful K

Many thanks - have had two new fridges - one in the place we are currently living - that was two years ago; the other in the place we are just moving to - again, plugged in after about 10 mins unpacking ….
