Non-transportable Items

When moving, non-transportable items must be taken into account; these non-transportable items may include anything from dangerous goods to high-value items like jewelry. Items that are irreplaceable, such as family memories and personal records, are also non-transportable. It is important to identify the things that need not be packed and transported in order to avoid unnecessary burden or damage incurred by moving them.

Move4umovers has compiled a list of non-transportable products that cannot be packed and transported alongside the remainder of your package. When you go down the list, you'll be able to figure out how to manage non-transportable objects for your upcoming transfer. During a transfer, we still have your best interests and wellbeing in mind at Move4U movers.
