Packing is the part of a relocation that swallows whole weekends. Our North Kansas City crews bring the boxes, tape, and wrap to you and pack the whole house — or just the rooms you would rather not touch.
What our packing crews cover
Reggie Holloway leads packing for Blue Diamond Movers, working room by room with materials matched to what is in the carton. You set the scope — wall-to-wall or a single kitchen.
- Full-house pack: every room boxed, labeled by destination room, and inventoried before the truck arrives
- Partial pack: kitchens, china cabinets, finished basements, or art — the rooms most people dread
- Dish-packs and cell kits for glassware, stemware, and ceramics
- Mirror and TV cartons, plus picture and art boxes for framed pieces
- Wardrobe boxes so hanging clothes go straight from closet to truck
- Unpacking on the other end if you want the cartons gone the same day
Packed for a Missouri swing
August humidity, January ice, and salt-treated roads all work against fragile cargo. We double-box stemware, corner-block framed art, and keep electronics padded so nothing shifts on I-29 or I-70 — and nothing soaks up basement damp on the way out.
How a full pack runs
- Walkthrough first. Send the details with a free flat-rate quote so the price includes the packing labor and materials — no surprise carton charges.
- Pack day before load day. For most homes we pack the day before, so the morning crew loads fast.
- Label and inventory. Every carton is marked by destination room; high-value items get logged.
- Same coverage as the relocation. Cartons we pack ride under the same $1M cargo protection as everything else on the truck.
Who books full packing in the Northland
It is the busy households — UMKC faculty taking sabbatical, North Kansas City Hospital clinicians on a four-week notice, and Liberty downsizers who simply do not have a free weekend before closing. Packing pairs naturally with a long-distance job, and anything you are not ready to deliver can rest in climate-controlled storage. We pack homes across the wider Clay County area, too.
| Scope | Typical home | What we handle |
|---|---|---|
| Full pack | 3-4 bedroom in Liberty or Parkville | Whole house, all breakables, basement |
| Kitchen + breakables | Crossroads condo or campus walk-up | Dishes, glass, art, electronics |
| Fragile-only | Any home with a china hutch or wine cellar | Stemware, ceramics, framed art |

What It Runs
A two-mover team runs $115/hr with a two-hour minimum; a three-mover team is $155/hr, and larger jobs get pinned down as one flat written figure before our truck pulls out of the Burlington Street yard.
Two of our own W-2 movers, a padded truck, four-wheelers, shrink wrap and quilted blankets — the whole North Kansas City job folded into a single Blue Diamond Movers rate, with no broker handoff at any point in the day.
