-
Remove pictures, utensil and all things from the attic or crawl space.
-
Separate all items of clothing, toys, and necessities that will not be shipped with the rest of the HHG. Place them in a separate area of the house and inform the movers and packers the room is off-limits.
-
If necessary, have an extermination of the residence completed prior to the arrival of the packers. Goods will not be picked up by the carrier if suspected of being bug infested.
-
Disconnect and purge all propane tanks prior to shipment. Written certification of purging must be made by a professional individual or company that is certified to perform such purging. Do not attempt to purge the tanks yourself. A label or tag must be affixed to each tank that indicates the purging was conducted in accordance with the National Fire Protection Association's standards, or the tanks will not be moved.

If shipping a motorcycle, ensure the gas tank is empty. Disconnect the battery and secure the cables. If putting the motorcycle in storage, remove and dispose of the battery. Proof of ownership, such as the registration, which describes the make, model, and vehicle identification number is required.

If shipping a lawnmower, ensure the gas tank is empty, and the oil has been drained.
