Atlas can transport your personal or sentimental items, but it's best if you take them. This is especially true for anything that cannot be replaced. Should your shipment encounter unforeseen problems, you won't have to worry.

WHAT SHOULD I TAKE WITH ME WHEN I MOVE?

Consider packing and taking these personal items with you during your move:

 
  • Address Books
  • Family Heirlooms
  • Photographs, Photo Albums
  • Airline Tickets
  • Insurance Policies
  • Professional Files (attorney, accountant, physician)
  • Car Keys
  • IRAs/Deeds/Tax Records
  • Research Projects
  • Car Titles
  • Jewelry
  • School Records
  • Cash
  • Keys to furniture, safe, home
  • Sterling Silver
