Policy on Non-Transportable and Prohibited Items
Since its establishment in 2009 by Paul Flores, Nu Lyfe Moving prioritizes the safety, compliance, and efficiency of every move within the United States. Understanding the items that cannot be transported is essential for a smooth relocation experience.
Why Certain Items Are Non-Transportable?
Professional moving companies must comply with federal, state, and local laws that prohibit transporting hazardous, illegal, or dangerous materials. These restrictions protect the safety of the moving crew, your belongings, and the environment.
Common Prohibited Items
- Hazardous Materials: This category includes explosives, flammable liquids and gases (e.g., propane tanks, lighter fluid), toxic substances, corrosive products, and radio-pharmaceuticals. Transporting such items is illegal and unsafe.
- Perishable Goods: Food items, plants, and live animals are generally not allowed due to spoilage risks and quarantine regulations.
- Valuables and Personal Documents: Jewelry, money, passports, birth certificates, and other important documents should be transported personally to prevent loss or theft.
- Weapons and Ammunition: Guns and ammunition are subject to strict regulation; professional movers cannot transport them. Licensed dealers or specialized transporters handle these items legally.
- Other Prohibited Items: Fireworks, scuba tanks, certain chemicals, and other regulated items are disallowed due to safety risks.
Practical Tips for Customers
- Proper Disposal: Safely discard hazardous materials at designated waste facilities before moving day.
- Separation of Restricted Items: Keep prohibited goods out of packed boxes to avoid delays or refusal of service.
- Advance Communication: Inform Nu Lyfe Moving ahead of time about any special items to receive guidance on alternative transport options.
