Shipping Perishables

Atlas^® can not transport perishables.

Non-Allowables Hazardous Materials Perishables Personal Items

In General, Atlas does not transport materials that may die or spoil during transit. These include:

Food (fresh frozen, refrigerated, or opened food products)
Plants (read "How To Move House Plants").

Foods in the fridge that will not be transported when shipping perishables

A Few Exceptions...

Your Atlas Agent may consider taking some perishable items under certain, very specific conditions. Ask about special arrangements for perishables if they:

Are properly packed
Require no servicing in transit
Will travel fewer than 150 miles
Will be delivered within 24 hours of pickup

After you empty your refrigerators and freezers of food, keep the doors open at least 24 hours before moving. This will allow them to dry out, air out, and prevent the mold.
