What Not To Pack

Read this section before doing your own packing and loading. It is important that you understand which items you can and cannot ship. There are rules and regulations that govern all movers to help ensure safety. There are also items you should not pack yourself, for example you may need professionals to pack up your exercise equipment correctly. The following list serves as a guide only on what not to pack. If you have any specific questions contact your mover.

  • Flammable, corrosive or explosive items:
    Acid / Gasoline Poisons / Charcoal / Lighter Fluid
    Fertilizer / Paints / Car Batteries / Matches
    Nail Polish & Remover / Ammunition / Liquid Bleach / Stern
    Aerosols / Kerosene / Pool Chemicals / Chemistry Sets
    Fireworks / Pesticides / Motor Oil / Paint Thinner
    Batteries / Loaded Weapons / Weed Killer / Ammonia
    Lamp Oil / Propane Tanks / Cleaning Fluid
  • Dispose of perishables such as food and plants that may die or spoil in transit. You should empty your refrigerator and freezers for at least 24 hours before loading. Keep the appliance doors open so the appliance will dry out and prevent the growth of mold and odor.
  • Some articles are not accepted for transportation. Movers assume no responsibility should these items come into his/her possession without his/her knowledge. Although these articles do not create a physical threat, it can create problems if your shipment is delayed or items lost.
