What not to pack
Aladdin Transfer Premier Moving & Storage wants your belongings to arrive at your new home safe and sound. So one of the most important things to know about how to move... is knowing which items not to move. Our staff is highly trained to look for normal household items that are hazardous and often illegal to ship.

- Auto batteries
- Charcoal/lighter fluid
- Matches and lighters
