Dispose
of flammables such as fireworks, cleaning fluids, matches, acids,
chemistry sets, aerosol cans, ammunition, etc. (Professional mover's
will not accept these items for shipment, as Federal law prohibits
them from transporting such items).
Drain
fuel from mowers and other machinery, and discard partly used cans
of oil, paint, thinner, or other substances that might leak.
Carefully
tape and place in individual waterproof bags, any jars of liquid you
plan to take with you. (If you elect to move liquids, we will not
be liable for any leakage or spills which may occur during transportation).
Refillable
tanks must be purged and sealed by a local propane gas dealer. Discard
non refillable tanks. (Effective May 1, 2000, we will no longer accept
propane tanks for shipment).
Have
rugs and draperies cleaned. Leave both wrapped when they are returned
from the cleaners.
Obtain
a written appraisal of antique items to verify the value. Avoid waxing
or oiling wooden antiques and fine wood furniture prior to moving
because some products may soften the wood, making it vulnerable to
imprinting from furniture pads.
Think
twice before dismantling your outside TV antennae; a new one may cost
less than moving the present one.
Third
party servicing will likely be needed before moving such items as
hot tubs, large screen TV's, and some exercise equipment.
Talk
to your moving company about PRE and POST move servicing of washer,
dryer, refrigerator, dishwasher, grandfather clock, satellite dish,
etc.
