At Ameritex Movers, we strive to provide comprehensive moving services for homes, offices, and apartments. Our goal is to make your move as smooth and stress-free as possible. While we handle a wide variety of household goods and furniture, there are certain items that we are prohibited from moving due to safety and regulatory concerns.
Prohibited Items: What We Cannot Move
To ensure the safety of our team, your belongings, and the environment, we must adhere to specific guidelines regarding prohibited items. These restrictions are put in place to comply with local and federal regulations and to prevent potential hazards during transportation. The following is a list of items we cannot move:
- Hazardous Materials
Items that pose a risk to health, safety, or the environment, such as:- Flammable substances (gasoline, propane tanks, lighter fluid)
- Explosives and fireworks
- Chemicals, acids, and solvents
- Pesticides and fertilizers
- Ammunition and firearms (without proper clearance)
- Perishable Food Items
Any perishable goods that may spoil, attract pests, or create unpleasant odors during transit. This includes:- Fresh produce, dairy products, and meats
- Frozen foods
- Open food containers
- Plants
Due to the delicate nature of plants and varying state regulations, we do not transport live plants. They can also attract pests and are sensitive to temperature changes during the move. - Valuables and Personal Items
We recommend that you personally transport any valuable or irreplaceable items, such as:- Jewelry, cash, and important documents
- Personal electronics (phones, laptops)
- Family heirlooms and antiques
- Pets
For the safety and comfort of your pets, we do not transport animals. Please make separate arrangements for your furry friends to ensure their well-being during the move.
Our Commitment to a Safe Move
We understand that these restrictions may be inconvenient, but they are necessary to ensure the safety and integrity of the moving process. If you have any questions about specific items or need guidance on how to handle them during your move, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us. Our team is here to help you navigate the moving process and provide advice on how to best prepare your items for transport.
Making Alternative Arrangements
For items we cannot move, we recommend the following alternatives:
- Hazardous Materials: Contact your local waste management service for proper disposal instructions.
- Perishable Food: Plan meals leading up to the move to use perishable items, or donate them to a local food bank.
- Plants: Consider transporting plants in your own vehicle or gifting them to friends or family.
- Valuables and Pets: Arrange for separate transportation or keep them with you during the move.
