Where should I keep my important personal documents and valuable possessions during my move?
Always keep valuable personal documents or items like jewelry in your personal vehicle or on your person before the move in order to minimize any risk of damage.
Where should I keep food during my move?
Never pack perishable food items in moving boxes. Food often leaks and can cause damage to your other belongings during the transportation process, or can even attract pests.
Where should I pack my plants?
Never back houseplants in moving boxes. They can get damaged or rapidly deteriorate. If you’re moving long distance, give away your plants and buy new plants when you arrive at your destination. You can make special arrangements with your local moving team however to very carefully move and transport your plants.
Where should I keep medicine?
Medicine should always be carried in a personal bag instead of being placed inside boxes.

We recommend that you carry all electronic devices like this in your personal bag in your vehicle during the moving process.
