Movers are prohibited from taking anything combustible or flammable on the moving truck. This includes aerosol cans, propane, gasoline, and combustible materials that may be found in certain cleaners, paints, and industrial chemicals. These items usually have warning labels.

> We move lawn mowers, snow blowers, gas grilles, and, in general, small motorized equipment. However, flammable and combustible fuels have to be drained and/or removed.

> The states of Florida and California will not allow BBQ or propane grilles to be imported across their state lines.

> Refrigerators and freezers need to be completely emptied and defrosted prior to the move.

> Dresser and bureau drawers, as well as filing cabinets, often need to be emptied prior to the move. We realize that other companies may not ask this of you; however, depending on the complexity of the move, the runners and tracks, on which the drawers slide, often do not withstand the weight of the contents in conjunction with the added stress of relocation. > Also, by reducing the weight of these pieces, you will make the pieces easier to handle, reducing the chance of injury to the movers, as well as damage to the surrounding walls. If you are unsure as to whether your drawers need to be emptied, please contact your AK account executive.

> It is our experience that plastic bags generally create significant difficulties. We understand that you may need to use two or three bags; this is acceptable. Any additional bags will need to be placed in sealed moving boxes. The content of plastic bags can not be insured.

> Copy machines need to be serviced prior to the move. Toner, especially liquid, must be completely removed.

> By law, we can not transport plants over state lines. Also, as you might expect, plants do not like to be relocated. Factors such as temperature and distance play a major role in their survival. Subsequently, we can not be responsible for such indirect damage to plants.

> When the job has been completed inspect the truck to make sure that nothing has been left behind.

We encourage you to call us with any questions or concerns pertaining to your move. We are here to service you !
