by | Nov 18, 2022 | Features

People hire moving companies for all types of moves, whether it’s downsizing, or moving closer to family, or anything else. But there are things people need to take into consideration, such as items that the moving company won’t move. These include things that are flammable or hazardous, like aerosols, paint, or even nail polish remover. They also won’t move perishable food items, such as dairy. Potted plants can be an issue, depending on your location – different states have different laws about plants crossing state lines.

  • It’s best not to put potted plants on a moving truck because most plants need water and light to survive.
