What Not to Ship

There are some things you just can’t ship.

And, it's not because we have any history with the following items. It's because they may cause injury, fire, or explosion. Therefore, they cannot be included in your move, as stipulated by federal law.

• Aerosols of any kind
• Ammunition
• Antifreeze
• Bleach
• Butane
• Disinfectant cleaners (especially those containing ammonia or chlorine)
• Fire extinguishers
• Firewood
• Gas or oils
• House paints
• Live plants
• Matches/candles
• Open containers of liquid
• Open non-sealed food containers
• Open alcohol containers
• Perishable food, unless your mover specifically tells you it’s OK
• Paints / varnishes
• Propane tanks or cans
• Welding gas

If you have any doubts about whether or not you should ship something, ask your mover or consult the American Association of Moving and Storage at:  http://www.moving.org
