Pricing & Booking
How much does Weekend Warrior Moving cost?
Flat hourly rate of $140/hr for a two-mover crew, with a 2-hour minimum. No fuel surcharges, no stair fees, no hidden add-ons. Larger crews are available on request at an adjusted rate — just ask when you book.
Is there a minimum charge?
Yes — every job has a 2-hour minimum with two movers. Many small jobs (single-room, apartment unloads, furniture rearranges) finish inside the minimum. You are not charged extra if we finish faster.
How do I book a move?
Three ways: call or text 816-988-1306, submit the form on our Book page, or reserve us through HireAHelper or U-Haul Moving Help. We confirm your arrival window the morning of the move.
Do you require a deposit?
A small deposit holds your date and time. You can send it via Cash App, Venmo, or PayPal on our Pay Deposit page — it goes directly to owner Deana Mullens and is applied to your final invoice.
How do I pay for the move?
The balance is due at the end of the job. We accept cash, Cash App, Venmo, PayPal, and most major cards. Tips are appreciated but never required.
What is your cancellation policy?
Life happens — call or text as soon as you know. Cancellations more than 24 hours out are no problem. Same-day cancellations may forfeit the deposit since we've already turned away other work for your slot.
Service Area & Availability
What areas does Weekend Warrior Moving serve?
We're based in Independence, MO and serve the entire Kansas City metro within a 100 miles of Kansas City radius — including Overland Park, Olathe, Lees Summit, Lenexa, Lawrence, Shawnee, Leawood, Blue Springs, Liberty, Topeka, Leavenworth, Saint Joseph, and more.
Do you offer same-day or next-day moves?
Often, yes. Weekends and the last few days of the month fill up first. Call us — we've saved plenty of customers whose other movers cancelled last minute.
What are your hours?
Weekdays 8am–8pm, weekends 9am–8pm. Phones are answered outside those hours whenever we can — leave a voicemail and we'll get right back to you.
Do you work on Sundays and holidays?
Yes. Sundays are a normal workday for us, and we book most holidays. Reserve early — holiday slots go fast.
What We Do
What services do you offer?
Loading and unloading rental trucks and PODs, full and partial packing, in-home moves and furniture rearranging, furniture assembly and disassembly, commercial and office relocations, nursing-facility moves, floor jobs, and long-distance moves within our service radius.
Do you provide the moving truck?
No — you rent the truck (U-Haul, Penske, Budget, or a POD). We bring the crew, dollies, straps, blankets, and hand tools. This keeps your cost lower because you're not paying us to mark up a truck rental.
Do you include furniture assembly and disassembly?
Yes, at no extra cost. Beds, dressers, tables, desks — we take them apart at the origin and put them back together at the destination on the clock.
Can you load a POD or storage container?
Yes — we load PODs, U-Boxes, U-Haul U-Boxes, and personal storage containers regularly. We pack them tight to protect your belongings in transit.
Do you move pianos, gun safes, or hot tubs?
Upright pianos and standard gun safes, yes — call us with weight, dimensions, and stair count so we can crew appropriately. Grand pianos and hot tubs typically require a specialty rigger; we'll tell you upfront if a job is outside our scope.
Do you do long-distance moves?
Yes, within 100 miles of Kansas City. That covers most of Missouri and Kansas plus parts of Iowa, Nebraska, and Oklahoma. Call for a custom quote on anything longer.
The Crew & The Job
How many movers show up?
Two professional movers standard. Larger or heavier moves can be booked with three or four — just tell us the home size and stair count when you book so we can right-size the crew.
Are your movers insured?
Yes. Weekend Warrior Moving carries general liability and cargo coverage. We're a licensed moving-labor provider vetted by HireAHelper and U-Haul Moving Help.
Are you a family-owned business?
Yes. Weekend Warrior Moving is owned and operated by Deana Mullens out of Independence, MO. We've been at this for 9 years and completed over 1,031 moves.
Do you offer a veteran or military discount?
Yes — active-duty, veterans, and first responders get a discount. Mention it when booking.
Do I need to tip the movers?
Tips are never required and never expected, but always appreciated. Common tip ranges from our customers are $20–$40 per mover for a smooth job.
What if something gets damaged?
We work carefully — 4.8★ across 266 verified reviews backs that up. If something does happen, tell the crew before they leave so we can document it and make it right through our cargo coverage.
Getting Ready
How should I prepare for the movers?
Have boxes taped and labeled by room. Disassemble what you can (or leave it and we'll handle it on the clock). Reserve elevators and parking. Point out anything fragile or high-value before we start loading.
Do you provide boxes and packing supplies?
We bring pads, blankets, dollies, straps, and shrink wrap. Boxes and tape aren't included by default but we can pick them up for you — just ask when booking.
Is there anything you won't move?
By law we can't move hazardous materials such as propane tanks, gasoline, ammunition, aerosols, or chemicals. We also ask that you move firearms, cash, jewelry, and important documents yourself.
Still have questions?
No question is too small. Give us a call and we'll walk you through your specific move.
