What to Expect on Moving Day in Kansas City

# What to Expect on Moving Day in Kansas City Hiring professional movers for the first time can feel uncertain. Here is exactly what happens from start to finish when Little Fellas Moving handles your Kansas City move. ## Before the Crew Arrives - Confirm your move time (you will get a reminder text the day before) - Have boxes sealed and labeled by room - Disassemble beds, desks, and shelving - Clear pathways and prop doors open - Set aside personal items you will transport yourself (medications, documents, jewelry, electronics) ## Crew Arrival Your team of 2-4 movers arrives in a fully equipped truck with moving blankets, dollies, straps, and tools. The crew lead does a quick walkthrough of your home with you to understand: - Which items are going - Any fragile or high-value pieces - Stairs, tight hallways, or elevator access - Load priority (what goes on the truck first) ## Loading Movers wrap furniture in moving blankets and secure items with straps. Heavy items go on first, boxes stack on top. A typical 2-bedroom apartment takes 1-2 hours to load. ## Transit The crew drives to your new home. For local KC moves, transit is usually 15-45 minutes depending on distance. You are welcome to ride separately and meet the crew there. ## Unloading Movers place furniture and boxes in the rooms you specify. This is why labeling boxes by room matters — it saves everyone time. Beds can be reassembled on request. ## Final Walkthrough The crew lead walks through both locations with you to confirm nothing was left behind and everything is placed where you want it. ## Payment You pay for the actual hours worked. Little Fellas Moving charges **$150/hour for 2 movers and a truck** with a 3-hour minimum. Additional movers are $50/hour each. No surprise fees. ## Tips for a Smooth Moving Day 1. **Have water and snacks available** — your crew will appreciate it 2. **Keep kids and pets in a safe area** away from the moving activity 3. **Stay accessible** in case the crew has questions 4. **Take photos** of your empty old home before leaving (for deposits and documentation) ## Ready to Book?
