What the Movers Can’t Move During Your Home Relocation

The moving experts from All My Sons Moving & Storage are dedicated to providing you with the best possible moving experience in Columbus. You can expect to receive quality care and service when you deal with our team of movers, and we can handle your entire move from start to finish. We are committed to providing a safe experience for your belongings as well as our movers. There are certain items that can not be packed and transported in our moving truck to your new home in Columbus. We want to make you aware of these items so that there are no surprises when the professional movers arrive. Our Columbus movers know exactly what it takes to execute a successful moving experience.

Flammable Items and Gasoline Engines

It's important to know that it's against the law to transport any flammable or explosive items, such as propane, household cleaners, or batteries. The Columbus movers will not be able to have any of these items on the moving truck. If you have any gasoline-filled engines, such as lawn mowers or a grill, they must be removed of gasoline.

Plants and Animals

Any living items, such as plants or animals, are also prohibited from transportation. There is a chance that the moving boxes can shift around during transportation and we wouldn't want your plants to become destroyed or damaged along the way. You can transport your living items in your own vehicle to ensure safety.

Perishable Food Items

Any food items that are required to be refrigerated will not be allowed on our moving trucks. Food that will go bad will leave an unpleasant odor in the truck, as well as have the potential to rot. When you are in the packing phase of your move, you should consider your food items and eventually get rid of all perishable products right before moving day arrives. Once you are all move in, you can stock up your new refrigerator with lots of food for you and your family!

It's also important to plan ahead and pack an essentials bag that will not be transported on the moving truck. This bag should include items that you will need on night one, such as hygiene products and clothes. By preparing in advance, you will experience a smooth and successful moving process. When it comes time to packing you will know which items are allowed on the truck and which items should stay with you.

Our moving experts can handle a move of any size and we will handle your entire move to Columbus! For more information on the packing and moving services we offer at All My Sons, contact our team of dedicated moving consultants today. You won't have to lift a finger when you rely on us and we can get you from point A to point B with ease.
