Movers typically won’t handle flammable materials, hazardous chemicals, weapons, live plants, or perishable food. Check with your mover if they have specific things they will not take.

Most local moves typically take anywhere from 3 to 8 hours, depending on the home’s size, if packing is required, and the distance of the move.

By law, interstate movers must offer basic liability coverage (60 cents per pound). For full coverage, you can purchase third-party insurance for Full Value Protection, which covers the actual replacement cost of the lost or damaged items.
