IKEA and particle board on a Kansas City stair

Cam locks fail. A walk-up is not a showroom. How particle board sits on a Kansas City stair — we will not guarantee it. Not the assembly page and not antiques.

ARTICLE IMAGE

What we will not assemble is IKEA as a rebuild. Furniture that will not turn is a sofa on a landing. Beds and disassembly is a frame we wrote. Antique furniture and old glue is the next page. This page is particle board on a stair: cam locks, a walk-up, a dresser that was never meant for three flights. We will not guarantee it. 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. A surprise wall of cubbies is how that number moves. We do not publish an IKEA fee here.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].

What particle board does on a flight

Be home — how to be home. Two doors: who should be at each end. Morning-of: moving-day morning. Kids’ rooms are the usual IKEA pile — packing the kids’ rooms. First apartment: first apartment. Smaller place: moving into a smaller place. Desk: desk and filing cabinet, home office. Wardrobes vs drawers: wardrobe boxes vs drawers. Heat on three flights: heat and a third-floor walk-up. Long carry: long carry and shuttle. Pad the path: how we pad and wrap, floors and rails, doorway and banister. Furniture that will not turn still applies if the landing is short — furniture that will not turn.

What we will not do with a cam lock

We will not guarantee particle board. We will not hunt a missing screw at 6 p.m. We will not carry a loaded Malm down glass. How long: how long a local move takes. If it runs long because a side split, that is still the clock — what we do if it runs long. A third is for a piano or a safe, not for a cube — when you need a third, how we staff three. Labour only still is not a rebuild — labour-only. A tip is not a new cam — tipping. Same-day with a wall still assembled: same-day. Ice on the drive: ice on the drive. Playset is a yard refusal, not a Billy — playset and trampoline. Sectional that comes apart is fabric, not board — sectionals. Sleeper: sleeper sofa. Keys late: keys late. Closing day: closing day. Origin ready, dest not: origin ready, destination not. Overnight on the truck: overnight on the truck.

HOA: HOA. Elevator: a cab that will not take a dresser on its side — elevator reservations. Town home: town homes. Parking: parking. What to tell us: IKEA, which floor, assembled or in boxes — what to tell us. Week before: what movers need the week before. After the form: after you request a price. Photos of the stair and the piece: photos that get a written price. Video: video walkthrough. Walk: what a walkthrough looks like. Kids and pets: kids and pets. New construction: new-construction. Cleaning after we leave is not a rebuild — cleaning after we leave. TV mount: flat-screen mount. China glass: china cabinet glass off first. Piano board is not particle board — piano board and stair creeper.

Frequently asked questions

Will you carry it assembled?

Empty it first. We will not guarantee particle board on a walk-up. A split side is still the clock.

Is this the assembly page?

That page is what we will not put back together. This page is board on a stair. Read both.

In boxes from the store.

Say so. Flat packs on a four-wheel are easier than an assembled dresser on three flights.

It broke last time.

Say so in photos. We would rather refuse a flight than glue a cam on the landing.

Antique next to the IKEA.

Old glue is the next page. Particle board is this page. Different failure.

Empty the drawers. Send the stair.

Two ZIP codes and whether the IKEA is assembled. We will write a walk, not a guarantee on a cam lock.
