Firearms, ammo, and the inventory on a Kansas City move

Guns and ammo ride with you. We move the empty cabinet or the safe. How firearms sit next to a Kansas City truck — not a legal encyclopedia and not the jewelry page.

What not to put on the truck is the list. Gun cabinet vs gun safe is wood vs steel once it is empty. Safes and gun safes is weight and the flight. How a safe comes up a basement is the path. Medications and documents is pills and papers. Cash and jewelry is the next page. This page is firearms and ammo: they ride with you. We will not inventory serial numbers as a default. 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. An empty wood cabinet can sit in that band. A loaded safe will not. We do not publish a firearms fee here. We are not your FFL. 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]. Specialty: safes.

Empty first. Then we talk about the box.

Be home — how to be home. Two doors: who should be at each end. Morning-of: moving-day morning. Kids and pets out of the room while you empty it — kids and pets. What you are not taking: a gun you are selling is not a truck item — what you are not taking. Estate: who holds the keys belongs on the sheet — estate and inherited. First-night tote is meds and papers, not ammo — first-night box, medications and documents. Workshop and garage still get the same off-truck rule — workshop, garage. Propane off the truck too — outdoor furniture and grill.

What we will not do with a firearm

We will not load a long gun between mattresses. We will not guess whether a safe is empty on the day. We will not transport ammo as a house add-on. How long: how long a local move takes. If it runs long because the safe was still full, that is still the clock — what we do if it runs long. A third is for the box, not for a rifle — when you need a third, how we staff three. Labour only still needs the guns out — labour-only. A tip is not an inventory — tipping. Same-day with a loaded safe is the least likely yes — same-day. Overnight on the truck: firearms stay off a sealed truck — overnight on the truck. We will not hold interstate. Keys late: keys late. Closing day: closing day. Origin ready, dest not: origin ready, destination not.

HOA: HOA. Elevator: a safe in a cab is still the safes page — elevator reservations. Town home: town homes. Parking: parking. Stairs: stairs and tight turns. Walk-ups: walk-ups. Long carry: long carry and shuttle. What to tell us: empty or not, stair, weight if you have it — what to tell us. Week before: what movers need the week before. After the form: after you request a price. Photos of the stair, not of the contents — photos that get a written price. Video: video walkthrough. Walk: what a walkthrough looks like. Rain: rain plan for a walk-up. Ice: ice on the drive. Heat: heat and a third-floor walk-up. How we use dollies: not a loaded safe on glass — how we use dollies. Piano board is not a safe: piano board and stair creeper. Smart-home: smart-home gear. TV mount: flat-screen mount.

Frequently asked questions

Can the guns ride in the safe?

No. Firearms and ammo ride with you. We move the empty box or we staff the safe.

Will you write serial numbers?

Not as a default. We will not inventory firearms unless we both wrote that.

Is this the gun-cabinet page?

That page is wood vs steel once empty. This page is guns and ammo off the truck. Read both.

Ammo in a kitchen box.

No. Off the truck. See what not to put on the truck.

Are you an FFL?

No. We are movers. You transport the firearms. Local only.

Empty the guns. Then send the stair.

Two ZIP codes and whether the safe is already empty. We will write the box, not a firearms inventory.
