What are non-allowables when talking about an upcoming move?

When moving, there are several non-allowable items that may not be transported by professional movers or may be subject to additional fees or restrictions. These typically include hazardous materials, such as flammable liquids, gases, and explosives; perishable items, like food, plants, and animals; and certain types of medications, like injectables and controlled substances. Additionally, some items may require special handling or permits, like firearms, ammunition, and certain types of artwork. It’s essential to check with your moving company ahead of time to ensure you’re aware of any specific non-allowable items and to make arrangements for their transportation or disposal.

Planning Ahead is Crucial to a Stress Free Move

Planning ahead and taking necessary precautions is essential to ensure a safe and successful move. First, assess the item’s size, weight, and fragility, and decide whether you’ll need to disassemble it or use specialized equipment to move it. Consider hiring professional movers like our team here at Winter Moving & Storage, who specialize in handling large or heavy items, or rent a truck with additional features like ramps or dollies to aid in the moving process. Additionally, make sure to obtain any necessary permits or permissions before moving the item, and take photos and documentation of the item before and after the move to ensure its condition is preserved.
