Poisonous, hazardous, flammable, or explosive items, including some cleaners, matches, alcohol, and paint
Perishable food items
Pets and plants
Irreplaceable items and documents, such as your passport, will, and medical records
You can lay a refrigerator down to move it with a lot of padding underneath, but it’s best to transport it upright to keep the cooling refrigerant and compressor oil in place. These elements can cause blockages if not given time to settle before turning the fridge on.
If you need to lay the fridge down to move it, position the fridge door hinges so that doors won’t open while moving.
Up to a point, you can change your mind about moving into a new apartment.

That’s one reason it’s important to do a walkthrough and to read all documents carefully before signing.
It’s not possible for a single person to move a hot tub. However, it’s possible for a small team of people to move a hot tub with the right skills and equipment. When hiring a moving team for this job, be sure to specify the size and weight of the item to ensure that they send several professionals to take care of the task.
Movers calculate a moving estimate through various methods, including flat fees, estimated weight, amount of space taken up in the moving truck, or a combination. Read the estimate carefully, including parts of the contract that cover mover liability, how and when movers arrive, and other information. The best estimates include an itemized list with fees for fuel, especially large items, packing and unpacking, storage services, and more.
