An inexpensive 18 cu. ft. refrigerator will cost $400-$500
plus tax plus delivery charges of at least. And you want
to borrow one for $30 worth of oranges plus you expect
delivery? That's chutzpah!

I live in Maryland (just west of Ball-a-mer, the city that
slurs, and if you live within 150 miles of me and let me
"borrow" it for storing homebrewed beer and mead, I'll pick
it up and give you 12 gallons of damn good beer a year.
