What a full pack day looks like in Kansas City

Packing is per box: standard $10–20, wardrobe $25–30, dish pack $30–40. Dish packs and cell kits is the carton. Paper vs bubble is the wrap. This page is the day: we pack, you stay out of the room we are in, kitchen last. Not the truck unless we wrote both days. 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. Full packing can move a local job toward $3,000–$4,000. 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 you finish before we tape

• What is not coming marked — what you are not taking
• Donate and dump already gone — how to thin out, donation pickup, dump run
• Medications and documents off our pile — what not to put on the truck
• Kids and pets out of the room we are packing — kids and pets
• Who brings leftover empty cartons — boxes we bring vs boxes you buy

A count is still a guess until we see the shelves — how many boxes for a two-bedroom. Labour only is not a pack day — labour-only. Labels we put on: room, not “misc” — how to label boxes. What to pack first if you started: what to pack first. Week before: what movers need the week before. Four weeks: four weeks.

How the rooms go

Spare rooms and books first — packing books and records. Bedrooms and closets: packing a bedroom, wardrobe boxes vs drawers. Kids: packing the kids’ rooms. Living and dining: packing the living room, packing the dining room. Bathroom: packing a bathroom. Kitchen last — how to pack a kitchen.

Glass is a dish pack, not a banana box. China: china cabinets, china and glass. Art: mirrors and framed art. Home office: home office. Desk: desk and filing cabinet. Heavy keep: heavy contents. Shed, attic, crawl: boxed at the door — shed contents, attic pull-down, crawlspace. We will not crawl a joist on a pack day either.

The truck is a different clock

If load is the next morning, that is moving-day morning. How long a local move takes is the truck, not the tape — how long a local move takes. If the pack runs long we will not start a load we did not write — what we do if it runs long. Two people may need a third on a heavy pack — when you need a third, how we staff three. A tip is not a pack contract — tipping. White glove is placement later, not a faster tape gun — white glove, white glove vs standard.
