Moving Non-Allowables

Non-Allowable Items:

Listed below are some common non-allowable items that you will need to address prior to your pack and load dates. If there is an item you are unsure about and it is not listed below, please ask you move coordinator.

Hazardous Materials

Hazardous items that are flammable, corrosive or explosive should not be packed into your shipment.

Examples include:

Perishables

Food, plants or living things that may die or spoil in transit should not be shipped with your household move.

Examples include:

• Food without adequate preservation
• Frozen Food
• Produce
• Plants
• Open or half-used foods
• Refrigerated Food

Note: You should empty your refrigerators and freezers and keep appliance doors open for at least 24 hours in advance of loading. This will allow appliances to dry out and prevent the growth of mold.

*For shipments moving less than 150 miles and delivered within 24 hours of pickup, some exceptions can be made.

Items of Personal Importance/Sentimental Value

This third category of non-allowables can create problems should your shipment be delayed or items lost. We suggest that irreplaceable items and\or sentimental items be carried with you instead of being packed with your shipment.
