Guide to a Better Pack: What Not to Pack Berryville, Virginia Moving Company

Please note that effective January 01, 2001, due to a tariff change, propane, butane and scuba tanks will be banned from transport, even if a professional has certified them as being empty. We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause but safety is our primary concern.

As a household goods carrier it is illegal and/or unsafe for us to transport items that are flammable, explosive or corrosive. A list of such items includes, but is not limited to, the following:

HAZARDOUS MATERIALS
Acids Adhesives Aerosol Cans Ammonia Ammunition Anti-freeze Batteries Bleach Butane Tanks Charcoal Briquettes Chemicals	Cleaners Disinfectants Fire Extinguishers Fireworks Gasoline Kerosene Lighters Lighter Fluid Liquid Cleaners Matches Paints	Polishes Propane Tanks Petroleum Fluids Scuba Tanks Shellac & Varnishes Solvents Wood Stains Welding Gases

Can a mover transport our plants and pets to our new home?

Plants, perhaps. Pets, no. Federal regulations allow a mover to transport plants if the trip is fewer than 150 miles and under 24 hours. However, some states may want to quarantine them anyway. In the event that this should happen, your mover won't be able to ensure their proper care. Federal regulations prohibit moving companies from shipping animals in moving vans. If your pets and plants can't travel with you, Lloyd's Transfer can help you make arrangements to safely transport them to your new home. Ideally, pets and plants travel best in your own car.

For other questions regarding your move, please read our Frequently Asked Questions section. If you still haven't located a answer to your question, please ask your moving consultant.
