We offer packing supplies to make your next move as easy as possible. We move various-sized homes, businesses, and other specialty moves.

Items Movers Will Not Move
Preparation is key for moving day. Here is a list of items we cannot move for you:
Food
We don’t allow anything that will spoil in our trucks. Food also attracts bugs and pests that can damage other items. If you cannot carry it with you, look at local food banks where you can donate it.
Family Heirlooms and Sentimental Items
You should carry irreplaceable items by yourself. While we try our utmost to protect all of your items, there is always a risk when it comes to moving dozens of boxes and heavy furniture.
Personal Documents
You should keep all of your personal documents with you. You may need to use them before moving to your new location. Also, even with movers’ insurance, most of these items are irreplaceable.
Medication and Prescription Drugs
Most medication needs to remain at certain temperatures with regular usage. We cannot guarantee the temperature of our trucks. Also, you may need to use them before you arrive at your new location.
Plants and Pets
It is not safe to put a living plant or animal on a truck. Even in a cage, items can shift, causing harm to them. There is little air circulation, and the truck’s temperature can quickly increase to unsafe levels, regardless of the season.
Cleaning Supplies
Dispose your cleaning supplies and repurchase when you move. While you may think that most are harmless, many cleaning supplies are flammable. Also, if any bottle leaked, many of your packed items could suffer damage.
Firearms and Ammunition
Our team can move firearms in most cases. We do not handle ammunition including gunpowder and primers. If firearms are a part of your move, please let us know when scheduling.
Liquor
Each state has different liquor laws and restrictions on the allowed amount and transportation regulations. Additionally, alcohol is very flammable. Since moving these items could be dangerous and potentially illegal, we do not allow our movers to handle them at all.
Other Hazardous or Flammable Materials
The following items are dangerous to move, especially in quantity. You can easily repurchase these items at your location:
- Aerosol Cans
- Fireworks
- Gasoline
- Kerosene
- Matches
- Nail Polish
- Nail Polish Remover
- Paint
- Paint Thinner
- Pesticides
- Propane Tanks
- Weedkiller
… and more.
