If you’re moving to St. Louis from another city in Missouri, such as Kansas City, you may think that there isn’t a need for a moving company. After all, why not just save yourself the money and handle the move on your own? While you could take on your move to St. Louis in an effort to save your hard-earned cash, we’re willing to bet that you would only end up regretting that decision. Without a team of reputable local movers, even a local move can be a stressful experience.

You should also be sure to take a look at the customer reviews of any company that you are considering. Finally, be sure to verify how long they’ve been in business. Use all of these factors (along with considering moving rates, of course) to make your final decision. These factors will make all of the difference in helping you find a local moving company worthy of your business!

Moving Tips

Now that we’ve given you a breakdown of both our long-distance and local moving services, we hope you’ll consider us as your movers. That being said, we don’t believe that our job ends there! We also want to take this opportunity to offer you some moving tips that can make all the difference.

The first moving tip that we want you to remember as you prepare for your move to St. Louis is to select your moving date up to two months ahead of time. This is necessary as, if you plan to use the services of a moving company, you’ll need time to prepare. If you intend to use a moving company, this is the time to get estimates. If you plan to take on the process on your own, you’ll want to start looking into rental truck costs at this time. Have your moving date confirmed so that you can make the necessary reservations.

Secondly, create a file to house all of your moving documents up to two months ahead of your move. This way, your estimates, receipts, and other important forms will all be well-organized and handy. Additionally, now is the time to speak with your medical providers and secure referrals as well as your medical records. Protect these important documents by carrying them with you on the day that you move. Good luck!

Ky & his crew were amazing. Punctual, careful, friendly, and they had moving down to a science. They made sure to take care of all my furniture, wrap everything that I had not wrapped yet myself, and even double wrap everything that I had already attempted myself. 10/10 and will use again!!!

Highly recommend Poseidon for moving and storage, especially as a college student. Both admin and the moving teams were friendly and professional. All my items were returned in perfect condition and the moves themselves were very quickly executed despite not having an elevator and the weather being very hot..

Great Moving Company! The company was very professional. They were good to communicate and remind me through email of the move date and the timeframe to expect their arrival.
