Moving house soon? Congratulations! It’s a huge step in our lives, bringing lots of new changes and marking a new period of life for us. So, let’s take care of the basics before we start getting too philosophical! How are you going to get your belongings from A to B? The answer: hire professional movers.
Movers can wrap and pack most things. Removalists can pack furniture, boxes, glassware, tools, toys, you name it! In fact, there aren’t many things that movers can’t pack. However, there are a few items that movers can’t pack, and that’s what we’ll be outlining in this article.
Firearms
This one is pretty self-explanatory. Moving firearms often requires a permit to do so, meaning you may have to find another way to transport firearms. Get in contact with your local police station to find out the best way to transport firearms into your new home.
Paint
Paint is another funny one when it comes to moving. If you’re an artist or house painter who has a lot of paint on hand, it’s best to find another way to transport it. Paint doesn’t usually mix well with things like expensive furniture or cherished personal belongings, so that’s why we tend to separate paint from other things.
Petrol
Do you have a few jerry cans of petrol for a rainy day? Fair enough, but your movers probably won’t be able to move them.
Explosives
Your moving company may be the bomb, but they certainly won’t transport a bomb. Moving explosives can be a little dangerous, to put it lightly, so that’s why your moving team won’t transport them.
Food
If you’ve got a heap of produce that you want moved, it’s probably best to leave that to a Countdown truck rather than a moving truck. Food can spoil if it’s not kept in the right conditions, so your moving company probably won’t move crates of fruit, veggies, meats or any other food.
Other things
For a list of other things that your movers aren’t able to pack, simply give them a call. Most moving companies are happy to explain what they can and can’t move, preferring to sort it out over the phone rather than arriving at your place to find they are unable to transport your items.
