Kendrick's Moving Tip

It is best to make other arrangements for the transfer of certain negotiable items or articles of extraordinary value, or take them with you, such as:

- Moving Documents
- Jewelry
- Evidence of debt
- Cash
- Stamp or coin collections
- Furs
- Deeds
- Securities
- Family photographs
- Personal papers

To guard against damage that could be caused by combustion, leakage or explosion, dispose of:

- Food in glass jars
- Matches
- Aerosol cans of ALL kinds
- Liquids, such as bleach, nail polish remover, perfume, furniture polish

If it is absolutely essential to pack a liquid such as a medical prescription, the lid or cap should be fastened tightly and taped. The container should then be placed in a tightly sealed plastic bag.

Guns & Ammunition
Because of the danger involved, Kendrick Moving & Storage cannot accept any ammunition for shipment. All handguns, rifles, and shotguns should be unloaded and the actions broken down as much as possible before being given to the moving representative for transporting.

Propane Tanks
Before propane tanks may be safely transported, they must first be flushed out. Most RV dealerships and companies that refill propane tanks can also flush out tanks. After flushing the tank out, the dealership will attach a green certification tag.
