Hey folks, I recently ran into something strange while prepping for a move. I had this unopened container of nail polish remover – you know, still factory-sealed, not leaking or anything. I figured it was totally fine to toss it in with the rest of the bathroom stuff. But when the movers saw it, they flat-out refused to take it, even though I told them it was just acetone and properly sealed. I get it might be flammable, but it caught me off guard that something so common could be an issue. Anyone else run into this kind of thing before or know why they’re so strict?

Funny enough, I never really thought about this until now. I’ve moved a couple of times but usually just packed stuff myself or left behind anything even slightly questionable. Reading this makes me realize how complicated moving logistics can get behind the scenes – especially with safety rules most of us don’t even know exist.
