Do you have any plans to relocate soon? If that’s the case, you’re probably feeling a little overwhelmed as you consider all the things you’ll need to bring. However, your professional movers cannot or should not move everything you desire to take to your new house. To put it another way, you’ll have to transport some of your possessions on your own. Here are the most common items that your moving company won’t be able to transfer, as well as some considerations and warnings, as well as how we may assist you.
Even if your moving company promises they can transport your belongings in their van, it’s still a good idea to keep your essential documents and photos on hand. This is due to the fact that these are items that are difficult to replace.
Moving companies have a list of hazardous objects that they cannot transport for safety reasons. When chemicals react with other substances, such as when paint thinner and weed killer are mixed on a moving truck, the consequence can be disastrous.
Lighter fluid, gasoline, propane cylinders, matches, paints, paint thinners, pyrotechnics, oxygen bottles, home cleaners, pesticides, fertilizers, weed killers, aerosol cans, pool chemicals, and even nail polish remover are among the dangerous objects that cannot be transferred. Make sure you have a thorough list from your moving company.
Although most canned food is usually packed for you by professional movers, you should still think about if this is a good option. Perishable foods, of course, cannot be transported in a moving van. Rather than transporting perishables and meals in glass jars with you, it is recommended that you dispose of them.
You want to free up space in your vehicle for more vital stuff, and you don’t want to worry about leaks, cracks, or mold causing accidents before moving to a new house. Spices and dried fruits, on the other hand, can be transported in boxes and/or cans. Ask your moving agent if you have any questions regarding whether foods may or cannot be moved.
Plants are another item that should not be transported in a moving truck. In reality, several states have laws governing which houseplants are allowed to travel state lines and which are not. In some states, pests and mites aren’t a concern, but they’re deemed exceedingly dangerous in others.
Furthermore, most moving companies avoid transporting plants since soil-borne pests might readily flow into the moving vehicle. Even if your moving van agrees to transport your plants, they may not survive the journey, especially if you’re moving a long distance. Plants require sunlight and water to grow. Why not give your plants away to your neighbors and friends if you don’t have a place in your van for them?
