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. The van line agent may agree to transport
perishables if they are properly packed and require no servicing in transit and
the shipment delivery is less than 150 miles and within 24 hours.
•
Some articles are not accepted for transportation:
The van line agent assumes 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. This can be avoided if all irreplaceable, sentimental items are
carried with you.
