Read this section before doing your own packing

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.

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.

all irreplaceable, sentimental items are carried
with you. For example:
