What will packers not pack in Sarasota?

5 Star Movers Sarasota·Updated November 9, 2026

Packers skip hazardous materials, open or perishable food, plants and pets. Set these aside, along with valuables and documents, before packing starts.

Quick Answer

Packers commonly decline hazardous materials, including paints, solvents, pool chemicals, propane, ammunition and aerosol cans, regardless of customer request. They also tend to decline open or perishable food, live plants, animals and items containing batteries that cannot be disconnected. Ask your company for its written list of items it will not pack.

Planning Your Sarasota Move

Prescription medications, cash, jewelry and valuable personal documents are items packers typically flag for owner handling, because of liability concerns.

Before the crew arrives, set aside anything you want to transport personally and label it clearly as 'Do Not Pack.' Ask the company how it documents pre-existing damage before boxing items.
