FAQ

When Should I Call Lanigan?

If you need to move today, we can probably do that. If you require a written in-home moving and/or packing estimate, you should call about seven days to two weeks before your move. We generally just ask you to give us as much notice as you can.

• Ensure that no prohibited items are packed.

What Can or Can’t I Take With Me?

Generally speaking, dispose of all flammable items, liquids, foods and other items that should not be shipped. Anything that can deteriorate should not be shipped. If you have a question about something, just call us at 601.948.5558 and ask.

Anything That is Definitely a No-Go?

Well, mainly those things you might expect – drugs, alcohol, weapons, ammunition. Shipping certain high value items or collections may require you to purchase extra coverage.

What About My Car?

Most of the time we can take your car(s), truck or SUV with the rest of your belongings in the trailer or container. If this is not possible, we can arrange for an alternate method. We do not transport cars as part of a regular local move, however.

Suppose I Pack Myself?

Certainly, but be aware of the potential problems. For instance, valuation coverage will not pay out on goods packed by their owner, unless the exterior of the box is damaged.
