Ikea and Home Depot both offer home delivery for large items, nationwide (in most cases). Pricing varies (Ikea does a flat rate $50 or $60 regardless of how much you order, IIRC; Home Depot shipping charges depend on exactly what you're ordering), but it's generally available.

In fact, I've never bought a large appliance and walked out from the store with it. Even if my local store does have the item in stock (sometimes they do; sometimes they don't; the big box stores don't generally keep a large stock of major appliances in-store), it's way more convenient to get the store to do the delivery and install for me-- especially since that's frequently included in the cost for major appliances (or a relatively small extra charge).

I live in the Midwest, in a heavily car-dependent city, and even here Home Depot and Lowes deliver. There's a fee but unless you're doing it like every week it's gonna be cheaper than owning a truck (this tends to be true of a lot of, though not quite all of, the tasks my fellow suburbanites cite as the reasons they own a truck).

Most or all major furniture stores deliver here. I see delivery trucks from a very large one about 35 minutes away all the time, maybe as much as once a week. Not sure about IKEA, as they're super-weird about that kind of thing (see also: online ordering & shipping). They might, though.

Almost certainly yes. You may well need to pay for it but you can get most things delivered from, certainly, major chains.
