Moving Tips
Here’s a list of 10 important moving tips for customers of KCMovingQuote.com:
Begin organizing and packing at least 4-6 weeks before your move date. This will reduce stress and give you time to handle any unexpected challenges. Requesting a quote by clicking “GET A QUOTE” will get you started! KCMoveQuote.com is here to help!
Go through your belongings and donate, sell, or discard items you no longer need. This will save on moving costs and make unpacking easier. Some of our local moving companies also offer Junk Removal and Hauling before or during your move, simply ask if that service is available.
Use a clear labeling system, including the room and a brief description of the contents. Consider color-coding or numbering boxes for quick identification.
Protect your valuables with sturdy boxes, bubble wrap, mattress bags, and TV boxes. This investment will help prevent damage during transit. Ask your moving company during your move quote if they offer these services and if so how much it costs.
Prepare a box with toiletries, a change of clothes, snacks, and important documents that you’ll need immediately upon arrival at your new home.
Create a detailed list of valuable items (e.g., electronics, jewelry) and consider purchasing additional insurance coverage if necessary. It is always suggested to have those items already loaded in your personal vehicle or moved over ahead of time.
Take apart beds, shelves, and other large items before moving day to speed up the process. Keep hardware in labeled bags for easy reassembly. Your movers will also assist in this if you are not sure how to do it or if you run out of town.
Use carpet protection film and door jamb covers to prevent damage during loading and unloading, especially in high-traffic areas.
Schedule shut-off and set up services at your new address well in advance to ensure a seamless transition (electricity, gas, internet, etc.).
Research and hire a professional moving company that’s reputable, licensed, and insured. For local moves in Kansas City, KCMovingQuote.com offers trustworthy and comprehensive services tailored to your needs.
