It is important that you understand which
items you can ship or cannot be ship. Read
this section before doing your own packing and
loading it to the moving van. There are rules
and regulations that govern all movers to ensure
safety.
- Drain oil and fuel
from lawn mower and other machinery. Discard
any partially used cans of paint, thinner, oil
or other substances that might leak.
- All refillable tanks
must be purged and sealed by a local propane
gas dealer. Discard of non-refillable tanks.
- Clean your rugs and
draperies with your local cleaners. Leave the
rugs and draperies wrapped when they are returned
from the cleaners.
- Avoid refinishing your
furniture before your move. Some products may
soften the wood, making it vulnerable to imprinting
from furniture pads. Obtain a written appraisal
of antiques to verify the value.
- Think twice before dismantling
your outside satellite dish; a new one may cost
less than moving the present one.
- If you'll move items
such as hot tubs, large screen TV's and some
exercise equipment you will need third-party
service before your move. Please consult with
the moving company agent about third party servicing.
- You should also consult
with you mover about servicing of appliances,
grandfather clock, satellite dish etc. before
