Do movers take spices?

Good to know: If you're moving long distance, try to use up as much of your spices as possible before moving day arrives – movers won't transport food or spices because they can attract pests or cause damage to your other goods (See also: What items movers won't move).

Will movers pack food?

Perishables. Typically, no food items are allowed by movers. Professional movers don't want to have to carry something that may go bad over a long distance. If the item spoils, it can cause an unsavory odor to the drivers for the duration of the trip, as they may not be able to locate the source of the smell.
