Change of address is not our job
USPS, the bank, the school. You do that. We move the house. How change of address sits next to a Kansas City moving day — not utilities and not a first-night box.
Utilities and moving day is power and water. First-night box is a tote you keep. This page is mail and accounts: USPS, the bank, the school. You do that. We move the house. We will not file a change of address. Two ZIP codes: Get my price. We will not write “licensed and insured.”
From [$XXX] an hour for two movers and a truck — two movers and a truck. Most local jobs $1,200–$1,500. Mail does not change that number. A buried box of documents we should not have does. What not to put on the truck. What changes the price. How we quote: two ZIP codes. Compare hours: how to compare hourly quotes. Damage: [TIM'S DAMAGE POLICY]. What I will honour: [WHAT TIM WILL HONOUR].
What you file. What we carry.
- USPS, banks, insurance, school — you file those
- We will not invent a USPS fee or a forwarding window
- IDs and passports ride with you, not on the truck
- A desk full of unopened mail is still paper — desk and filing cabinet, home office
- Kids’ school calendar can still change the day — Lee's Summit school-year, packing the kids’ rooms
Four weeks is when people remember mail — four weeks. Week before: what movers need the week before. What to tell us is stairs and a piano, not a forwarding confirmation — what to tell us. Closing day: closing day. Keys late: keys late. Landlord: landlord walkthrough. Rental: moving out of a rental.
Documents off the truck
Same rule as meds. A first-night tote can hold the folder — first-night box. Kitchen last does not include a passport — kitchen last. Pack day: point at the file that stays with you — what a full pack day looks like. Estate leftover paper: estate and inherited. Downsizing: senior downsizing. What you are not taking: what you are not taking.
Morning-of: moving-day morning. How long: how long a local move takes. If it runs long we will not stop to fill a USPS form — what we do if it runs long. A tip is not a secretary — tipping. Labour only is still not mail — labour-only. Kids and pets: kids and pets.
