How to compare hourly moving quotes in Kansas City

From [$XXX] an hour for two movers and a truck is our starting line. Another company will show you a different hour. The number that matters is the written job — same house, same stair, same awkward list. That is comparing Kansas City movers with the hour attached. Two ZIP codes: Get my price.

Most local moves land between $1,200 and $1,500. Full packing can reach $3,000 to $4,000. An hour that looks cheap and a crew that is too small is how you buy a second day. Two movers and a truck is the start, not the whole sheet. What changes the price. What a Kansas City move costs.

Put both quotes on the same page

• Same two ZIPs — how we quote from two ZIP codes
• Same date, or the same kind of day — weekend vs weekday
• Same size: rooms as they are, not the listing
• Same help: who packs, which rooms — packing
• Same awkward list: piano, safe, hot tub, pool table, china, walk-up
• Same photos of the stair and the curb — photos that get a written price

If one quote assumed a lift and the other assumed a walk-up, you are not comparing hours. You are comparing two different jobs.

What to ask besides the hourly rate

• How many people, and is the truck in the hour
• Travel time — windshield on the clock or not
• What happens if the truck cannot sit
• Who picks up the phone — when you ring (913) 957-9311 it is me — about
• What they will not take — what not to put on the truck
