Non-Allowables

Before your possessions are packed and loaded, it is important that you understand which items cannot be shipped because they represent a hazard or are perishable. Listed below are some common non-allowable items that you will need to address prior to your pack and load dates.

Hazardous Materials - Items that are flammable, corrosive or explosive.

Examples include:

Acids	Fireworks	Nail polish remover
Aerosols	Gasoline	Paint thinner
Ammonia	Household batteries	Paints
Ammunition	Kerosene	Pesticides
Car Batteries	Lamp Oil	Poisons
Charcoal	Liquid bleach	Pool chemicals
Charcoal lighter fluid	Loaded guns	Propane tanks
Chemistry sets	Matches	Sterno
Cleaning solvents	Motor oil	Weed killer
Fertilizer	Nail polish

Perishables - Food, plants or living things that may die or spoil in transit.*

Examples include:

	Frozen food	Refrigerated foods
	Open or half-used food products	Plants

* For shipments moving less than 150 miles and delivered within 24 hours of pickup, agents may agree to transport perishables that are properly packed and require no servicing in transit.

Note: You should empty your refrigerators and freezers and keep appliance doors open for at least 24 hours in advance of loading. This will allow appliances to dry out and prevent the growth of mold.

Items of Personal Importance/Sentimental Value - This third category of non-allowables can create problems should your shipment be delayed or items lost. We suggest that irreplaceable items and/or sentimental items be carried with you instead of being packed with your shipment.

Examples include:

Address books	Financial documents	Professional files
Airline tickets	IRAs/deeds/tax records	Research projects
Car keys	Jewelry	School records
CDs	Medicine	Sterling silver
Checkbooks	Personal video tapes	Stocks/bonds
