Yes, it is true. It is also true that your movers may refuse to transport certain items. Thus, you must not waste your precious time and effort in packing everything that your current home contains. If you pack everything, you are going to invite trouble. Deliberately packing and transporting non-allowable items and unnecessary things can cause several complications, including legal complications, safety hazards, inflated moving costs, and unnecessary clutter in your new home. So, it does not make sense to pack all the items when moving. It will be a wise decision if you take your time to figure out those items that you should never pack when moving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are not sure about what items you should pack and what to leave behind, do not worry.

These items can inflammable things, explosives, or potentially dangerous things. You know the fact that most packers and movers in India do not transport such items due to safety regulations. If you deliberately pack these items, you will be breaching the safety regulations. This can put your belongings, and everyone involved in the shifting process at risk. So, avoid packing hazardous materials to make your move safe and secure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"List_of_common_hazardous_items_not_to_pack_when_moving\"><\/span>List of common hazardous items not to pack when moving<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Petrol, kerosine, and lubricants<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Oxygen bottles (tanks), fire extinguishers, and aerosol cans and sprays<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Paints, paint thinners, and varnishes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Explosives, such as ammunition, weapons, fireworks, lighter fluid, and matches<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cleaning supplies like acid, ammonia, bleach, detergent, stain remover, and floor cleaner<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Beauty products, such as nail polish, nail polish remover, hairspray, aerosol deodorant, perfume, and makeup setting spray<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Gardening chemicals, such as fertilizers, insecticides, pesticides, and herbicides<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Home UPS batteries and car batteries<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_to_do_instead\"><\/span>What to do instead:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>If you cannot pack and move these hazardous things, what should you do then?

Do you love balcony gardening? If so, you are more likely to have houseplants. Even though you hold sentimental value with your beloved houseplants, it is not a good idea to move them to your new home, especially when moving a long distance. Due to the long journey, your plants can be exposed to extreme temperatures, lack of water, and even physical damage. This is why you should not pack your plants when moving. However, you can use the services of a moving company that specializes in plant relocation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_to_do_instead-3\"><\/span>What to do instead:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Gift your plants to your neighbors, friends, or relatives who can care for them. If you are obsessed with your beloved houseplants, consider transporting them yourself in your car. Plus, make sure that they have adequate water and protection from the elements. Additionally, you can also consider hiring a mover that specializes in plant transportation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Important_Personal_Documents\"><\/span>4.

These documents are often irreplaceable. If you put these documents onto the truck, they may easily get lost, misplaced, or damaged during the mess of moving. And I can understand well how painful it can be if your passports and educational certificates get lost. Obviously, this can cause frustration and regret. So, do not pack your important documents and do not put them on the moving vehicle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"List_of_common_documents_not_to_pack_when_moving\"><\/span>List of common documents not to pack when moving<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Passports, Voter IDs, PANs, and Aadhaar Cards<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Birth and marriage certificates<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>School\/college certificates<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tax records, insurance paper, and housing paper<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Debit\/credit cards, and checkbooks<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Moving paperwork, especially bill of lading<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Medical records and health insurance policies<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_to_do_instead-4\"><\/span>What to do instead:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep these important documents in a secure, portable folder.

While it is not possible to leave them behind, it is always a good decision not to pack them with the rest of the moving items. Remember that you can somehow manage to regenerate documents, you cannot restore valuables and sentimental items once they are damaged or lost. So, be wise and do not pack these irreplaceable items when moving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"List_of_valuables_and_sentimental_items_not_to_pack_when_moving\"><\/span>List of valuables and sentimental items not to pack when moving<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Jewelry<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Heirlooms<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Expensive electronics<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Smartphones and gadgets<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Collectibles (coins, stamps, etc)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cash<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Family photos<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Keys for cars<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_to_do_instead-5\"><\/span>What to do instead:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, pack valuables and sentimental items but carry them with you in your car.
