Items Moving Companies Won't Transport & Why

While we are willing to take the majority of your items to your new home, there are some things we don’t recommend giving to a moving company and some things that we simply won’t move. It’s important to check with your specific moving company to get to know their policies better, but as a general rule these are the items you shouldn’t expect your moving company to transport.

Things you should transport yourself, but we will transport at your own risk:

 *   Photo albums

• Money
• Checkbooks
• Jewelry
• Financial Documents
• Medical records
• Medication
• Car Keys
• Personal mementos
• Open top boxes
• Large Pottery

While most companies will insure your belongings in the event that they were damaged during the move, we advise you to transport irreplaceable items yourself. Here at Jones Moving & Storage, we will transport your personal memorabilia, but it’s at your own risk. While companies may compensate you for lost or damaged goods, it won’t get back your memories.

Things we will not transport:

• Explosives
• Chemicals/Acids
• Flammable items
• Weapons
• Pesticides
• Poisons

If your belongings will not arrive to their new destination within 24 hours, perishable items will not be allowed on the truck. For local moves we will transport your food, but they will need to be properly packed with ice or ice packs. We will load them last so they will come off of the truck first at your new home.

If you have questions about what we will and won’t move, call our Phoenix moving company at 602-944-1413. We will be able to break down which items you’ll need to move yourself and which ones are better transported by you or your family to ensure their safe arrival.

Why do moving companies charge extra for? Heavy Items, Weekends, Long Walks, Stairs, Disassemble, Pianos Moving Safes, Pool tables & Etc.. The Answer is...

Packing Tips

Packing Tips:
When packing items make sure you pack heavy items in smaller boxes.The smaller boxes are more durable for heavy items and easier to lift. Large Boxes are best with lighter items.
Remember to pack all side on the bottom of the box to insure that you items down fell though
the when lifting and for the movers. Mark all boxes to what room you would like them to be delivered to. This makes it easier for you and the mover to delivery your boxes to the right room.
