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. Although you already know what to pack when you move and what you must do yourself, don't forget to ask your moving company for the list of items not allowed before starting the packaging project.

Don't even think about endangering the life of your beloved companion animal by entrusting it to completely unknown people, unless those people are people who specialize in moving pets. 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. Speaking of items restricted by moving companies, the transportation of pets by professional moving personnel is strictly prohibited. When you're packing your house 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.

Always check the labels on chemical and gardening products to see if it's something you shouldn't pack when you move. When the fuel has completely run out and they are well packed to hit the road, most moving companies will agree to transport parts of equipment from the shipyard. Even if professional moving companies don't transport perishable food for you, that doesn't mean you should go and throw away food in perfect condition. For quick local moves from one side of town to the other, a portable fridge with cold packaging and insulation allows you to safely transport frozen foods, meats, eggs, dairy products, fruits and vegetables to your new home.

Now, let's take a closer look at what items you shouldn't pack to move simply because long-distance moving companies won't move them for you. Don't try to pack anything fresh in your moving truck, even if it's just for a day or two and it's sealed in containers. As a result, there are a good number of things you shouldn't pack when moving, the so-called “not allowed” or simply “not allowed”. 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.

Most indoor plants won't survive even brief local moves to neighboring cities, much less endless moves across the country. Hazardous products, such as aerosols, top the list of products that can be left behind during a move.
