Helpful Moving Tips:
What You Shouldn’t Move

When you’re packing things away, you may be tempted to put everything into boxes. Unfortunately, doing so can completely void your insurance, as moving companies have a very specific list of things you’re not allowed to pack. Aside from the forbidden items, some others just make sense that you leave behind, including plants or bulky furniture (which may be cheaper to replace than to move).

Here are other things you may not be allowed to pack:

Hazardous Items. Aside from the obvious explosives, fireworks or gasoline, moving companies have an extensive list of other items that can be dangerous if packed improperly or when combined with other substances. In general, these items are forbidden in boxes. Examples include aerosols (from deodorant to room deodorizer), nail polish remover, paints, batteries, liquid bleach, charcoal, fertilizer and pesticides. Depending on the components, things as innocent-looking as toy chemistry sets may also not be allowed.

Perishables. If you’re moving just a few blocks away, food will probably make it there intact, but for long-distance moves, you must get rid of anything that requires refrigeration, including produce, frozen foods, opened food packages and even potted gardens.

Sentimental Items. Some companies may refuse to transport personal items such as photo albums or financial documents, since these cannot be insured for a specific number but can cause a significant loss in case of problems. If you insist in packing these away, you may be asked to sign a special form to free the company of liability in case something happens to these particular items. Items that are considered “sentimental” and have no insurance value include: address books, tax records and other personal paperwork, photographs, collections, checkbooks, computer discs and even cash.

Anything that you feel is too valuable to risk packing it, you should set apart and bring along with you.
