What not to pack on moving day?

Medications for all members of the family, both for maintenance and for anything you may need at any time. Save yourself the trouble of having to unpack everything to find pajamas to sleep in or a screwdriver, as you'll unexpectedly have to remove a door from a hinge. By ordering the items you know (or suspect) you'll need on the day of the move and the days surrounding it, you'll make the moving process much easier. Add the moving company policies on what will and will not move, along with laws about what can and cannot be transported across state lines, and you'll need a little help knowing what to pack.

Although you already know what to pack when you move and what you must move yourself, don't forget to ask your moving company for the list of items not allowed before starting the packaging project. Under normal circumstances, you should have no problem identifying the work that takes you the most time in your moving calendar because, without a doubt, it will be the work of packing your bags for a move. Always check the labels on chemical and gardening products to see if it's something you shouldn't pack when you move. Be sure to call the moving company and request their list of prohibited items, that is, the list of hazardous materials that the moving company does not want to move.

But what you might not know is that you're packing items you shouldn't move to, or even essential items you'd like to have access to during the move. To quickly move from one place to another in the city, a cooler with cold packaging and insulation allows you to safely transport frozen food, meat, eggs, dairy products, fruits and vegetables to your new home. Don't try to pack anything fresh in your moving truck, even if it's only for a day or two and it's sealed in containers. When you pack your home before a move, there are a few things you'll want to keep handy throughout the process and when the day of the move comes.

Having to unpack several boxes in the middle of the move in search of an item you need unexpectedly can be time consuming and frustrating for everyone involved. In any case, don't take risks and ask the moving company in advance what their own version of the list of prohibited items is. If packaged securely and possibly removed from pots that could break, indoor and outdoor plants can be easily moved from one side of town to the other. Before putting everyday items in new boxes for moving, consider whether it's safe to pack them.

Products that are dangerous, such as aerosols, top the list of products that can be left behind during a move. If you're trying to move on your own, you might want to downsize so you have fewer belongings to pack and move (and then unpack). Normally, professional moving companies will not move items of high sentimental value because of their irreplaceable nature.
