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
van line agent about third party servicing.
