What we do if a Kansas City move runs long

If it runs long, we talk. The number we wrote stays the number unless you add work and we agree it — or the access we were told is not the access we got. How long a local move takes is the expected day. What changes the price is why hours move. This page is the afternoon that got away. 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. A tip is not how you pay for surprise hours — tipping. [WHAT TIM WILL HONOUR] stays. [TIM'S DAMAGE POLICY] stays. I quote it — about.

What we do first

• Say the hour count out loud before we keep going
• Name what changed — loose rooms, a sit that failed, a piano that was not on the sheet
• Ask whether we finish today, split, or load a local unit — storage, local only
• Not invent a “overtime multiplier” on the stair
• Not leave a half-loaded truck because the next job is prettier

If the HOA window ends, the window ends — HOA, elevator reservations. If the keys never showed, that is keys late, not a long job — keys late. If funding slipped, that is closing day — closing day. After you request a price, the date is yours when we said it was — after you request a price.

Why days actually run long

Packing still undone — what to pack first, what movers need the week before. A truck that cannot sit — parking, long carry and shuttle. A piece that will not turn — furniture that will not turn, stairs and tight turns. Two people on a third-floor walk-up that needed three — when you need a third, how we staff three, walk-ups. Kids or pets in the path — kids and pets.

Awkward that appeared at 2 p.m.: pianos, safes, hot tubs, pool tables, china — piano moves, baby grand ([REAL JOB] stays). A “few rooms” that was the house — partial moves. A second pickup nobody wrote — split pickup. A smaller place that will not take the sofa — moving into a smaller place. Ice or rain that slowed the path — rain and ice, winter moving day. Heat — July and August.

What we will not do

We will not keep the meter running in silence. We will not dump the last rooms in the garage without asking — unless you booked a cleanout — when a cleanout is the job. We will not write interstate because the day got late. We will not invent insurance to cover a rush. A landlord walkthrough that started while we still had a truck is their clock — landlord walkthrough, moving out of a rental.

Same-day jobs have less slack — same-day. Month-end has the next crew already placed — month-end. If we have to come back, we will say what the board has. Weekend vs weekday: weekend vs weekday. School-year Monday still has to land — Lee's Summit school-year.
