TVs and electronics on a local move
Screens upright, original boxes if you still have them, cables in a bag you keep. How we move TVs in Kansas City — not laid flat under a sofa.
A TV is not a picture. It travels upright. Original box if you still have it. If you do not, say so — we pad it standing, we do not slide it under a dresser. Remotes and cables go in a bag you keep or a box you can open first. We are movers. We will not set up your home theatre on the other end unless we agreed it in writing.
Put the screen on the quote the same way you put a piano on it: size and which floor. Two ZIP codes: Get my price. Photos of the mount and the stair help — photos that get a written price.
What we need to know
- Size of the screen — a photo with the stand or the wall is enough
- Wall-mounted or on a stand — who is taking it off the wall
- Original box or not
- Which floor, and a lift or walk-up at either end
- Sound bar, console, desktop, or a pile of peripherals
- The rest of the house move, or electronics only
A 75-inch on a third-floor walk-up is a crew question, not a blanket. A stand that will not turn on an Independence split is the same measure-first habit as a dresser.
Off the wall
We will take a set off a mount if we agreed it. Bolted into brick or a mystery bracket is a photo, not a surprise at 10am. Holes in the wall are yours unless we wrote otherwise. The mount can travel with the screen or stay — say which.
Mirrors and glass are a different job — packing a bathroom and china cabinet and glass. Do not treat a TV like a medicine-cabinet shelf.
Boxes, bags, and what you keep
Original foam is the only packing that was drawn for that screen. If it is in the basement, find it in the four weeks, not on the morning. Standard boxes at $10–20 on packing are for routers, games, and cables — not for a 65-inch laid in a wardrobe.
Hard drives, cameras, and laptops can ride in your car. Same rule as meds: if replacing it hurts more than a dish pack, it does not need to sit in a truck all day. What you are not taking is the keep-vs-leave pile; this is the keep-in-the-car pile.
Stairs, rain, town homes
Upright through a landing. We will not tip a screen on ice — rain and ice moves. A town home freight lift is easier than a Brookside flight. A Raytown ranch basement rec room is a second carry after the living-room set.
White glove is more wrap on the furniture around the screen, not a magic TV crate — white glove vs a standard house move. An office with a wall of monitors is office moves around your hours plus the same upright rule.
Price
A TV does not usually move a $1,200–$1,500 local job by itself. A wall of them, a walk-up, and no boxes will. That is what changes the price. From [$XXX] an hour for two movers and a truck. I quote it — about. Call (913) 957-9311.
We will not write “licensed and insured.” We will not invent a screen-replacement figure. Google stays [X.X] · [XXX] reviews. Compare the same floor and the same box — comparing Kansas City movers.

Morning-of: screens last off the wall if you are still watching the night before — moving-day morning.
Frequently asked questions
Can you lay the TV flat?
No. Upright. Original box if you have it. We will not slide it under furniture.
Will you hook it up at the new place?
On the wall or on the stand if we agreed it. Programming the remote is on you.
I lost the original box.
Say so. We pad it standing. A photo of the size helps us bring the right blankets.
What about the desktop and the server in the basement?
Say the count and the floor. Hard drives can ride with you. Towers go upright in a box or on a dolly.
Put the screen on the quote
Size, floor, and whether it is on the wall. Two ZIP codes. We will write the number for an upright carry.
