Elevator reservations for a Kansas City move

A reserved freight elevator is the job, not a courtesy. Book it for the building you leave and the building you enter. A two-hour slot that starts after we can sit the truck is a different day than an open Saturday. HOA and building rules is the paper. Town homes and condos is the bay. This page is the lift. Two ZIP codes: Get my price.

From [$XXX] an hour for two movers and a truck — two movers and a truck. We do not invent a certificate of insurance or a pad deposit we have not seen. If the office wants a COI, you ask them what they want and we will say whether we can supply it. We will not write “licensed and insured.” Hours still move with the slot and the carry — what changes the price.

What to reserve — and when

• Freight lift, not the passenger car, if the building has one
• Both buildings if you are condo to condo
• A window that matches the truck sit — parking and permits
• Pads or wall protection if they require it — say so the week before — what movers need the week before
• A contact at the desk who will unlock it
• Whether Sunday is banned — weekend vs weekday

Month-end and the first fill the freight book the same way they fill ours — month-end. July and August school weekends are worse — July and August, Lee's Summit school-year. Same-day with no reservation is the least likely yes — same-day. After you request a price, the date is yours when we say it is — after you request a price.

When the lift is out, it is a walk-up

Tell us. Do not write “condo, elevator” and mean three flights with an out-of-service card on the door. The method becomes walk-up apartment moves and stairs and tight turns. A sofa that will not turn in the stairwell is still that sofa — furniture that will not turn. We will say whether the crew we wrote still matches.

A service elevator that is a padded passenger car is slower than a true freight. Measure the door if you can. A photo of the car with a tape on the opening is worth more than “it is big” — photos that get a written price. A piano in a small car is a conversation — pianos, piano moves.

The slot and the truck have to agree

A 9–11 lift with a truck that cannot sit until 10:30 is a wasted hour. Reserve the curb or the dock for the same window. Visitor bay only: town homes. Street sit in Midtown, Plaza, Westport or Waldo still needs a place to stand. How long the day runs once both ends work: how long a local move takes. Morning-of: moving-day morning.

Kids and pets off the hall, not in the car with the dresser — kids and pets. Label boxes for the floor they are going to — how to label boxes. What is not coming, marked — what you are not taking. What stays off the truck stays off — what not to put on the truck.

Packing still has to finish around the slot

A two-hour freight window does not wait for a kitchen that is still in cabinets. Spare rooms first — what to pack first. Per box: standard $10–20, wardrobe $25–30, dish pack $30–40 — packing. Kitchen: how to pack a kitchen. Living room, bedroom, bathroom, kids: living room, bedroom, bathroom, kids’ rooms. Garage under the unit is still a room — garage.

Labour only in a building with a reserved lift still needs the reservation — labour-only. Your rental, your desk, our backs. Offices in the same stack: offices, office hours. Heat in a closed hall in August: July and August. Ice at the dock: winter moving day, rain and ice.

Awkward pieces and the car size

Safes — safes and gun safes. China cabinets — china and glass. Hot tubs rarely ride a passenger lift — hot tub moves. Pool tables — slate and the car door — pool table moves. Appliances — washers. White glove — white glove vs standard. Baby grand ([REAL JOB] stays). Beds and TVs: beds, TVs. Home office: home office.

Kansas City condos downtown-adjacent are more lift than bay. Lee's Summit and Blue Springs new stacks use a pad and a slot. Independence and Raytown older buildings are often stairs — say so. Grandview — 71 corridor. Northland. Johnson County — mention only. Johnson County checklist. Live list: service areas. Houses and apartments. Storage local only: storage. Cleanout in a reserved window: when a cleanout is the job, cleanouts. Downsizing: senior downsizing. New construction: new-construction. Four weeks: four weeks. What to tell us: what to tell us. Compare: comparing Kansas City movers. Costs: what a Kansas City move costs. How we quote: two ZIP codes. Photos: photos. Workshop: workshop. Garage-first: Blue Springs garage-first. Split-levels: Independence split-levels. Ranch: Raytown ranch.
