  3. Put three quotes side by side — Request at least three and compare labor minimums, mileage, fuel surcharge, packing, and specialty handling line by line.

  5. Keep slack in the schedule — Building rules and traffic in Kansas City can push a move later. Reserve elevators early and leave room for a second walkthrough.
