How to number rooms for a Kansas City unload

Tape a number on the dest door. Match it on the box. How we unload a Kansas City house without a novel on the lid — not labelling, not kitchen-last, not unload order.

ARTICLE IMAGE

How to label boxes is the room name on two sides. Kitchen last, unpack first is truck order. Who should be at each end is keys at both doors. Photo albums and irreplaceable boxes ride with you. Unload order that saves an hour is the next page. This page is dest rooms numbered before we arrive so a “2” lands in 2. 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. Hunting a “misc” pile in the wrong bedroom is how that number moves. We do not publish a numbering fee here. 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].

Frequently asked questions

Is a room name enough?

Name on two sides is the label page. A number on the dest door is this page. Two “bedrooms” still need 2 and 3.

Can you number it when you arrive?

We will not invent your map at 6 p.m. Tape before we park. Someone at dest to point.

Kitchen last.

Still last on the truck. The number is which dest room it sits in. Read both pages.

Empty new construction.

Painter’s tape on the jamb still counts. Say which number is which unfinished room.

Unload order next.

That page is sequence off the truck. This page is where the box goes once it is off.
