Moving irreplaceable items
Moving irreplaceable items
Those financial papers, photos and momentos mean the world to you. Though you've found a reputable mover, do you really want to leave them in the hands of a stranger?
Some items are too important or too necessary to entrust to your moving company. Items include financial papers, legal papers and keepsakes (our extensive list is featured below). We don't suggest a moving company handle such possessions. Consider the following:
Keep irreplaceable items in your possession. The preferred way to move irreplacables is to keep them in your possession. The most common method for moving irreplaceable items, this best ensures items arrive safely at their destination.
If you're unable to move all these possessions at the time of your move, consider keeping some of the items in a bank's safety deposit box (or other safe location) until there is a more appropriate time.
An alternate method for moving irreplaceable items
If keeping important and sentimental items is not an option, consider using a shipping company with an outstanding track record for safely shipping items. Some consider Fed-Ex for this.
