FAQs
How do I receive an estimate?
Getting your free moving estimate with Mid Mo Movers is simple and straightforward. You can either call us directly at 660-596-6120 or submit a request through our website. When you contact us, we’ll ask about your moving details including your timeline, locations, and specific needs so we can provide the most accurate quote possible. For local moves, we can typically give you an estimate right over the phone. If you’re planning a long-distance move or need additional services like packing and storage, we may recommend a quick virtual survey or in-person walkthrough to ensure we account for everything. Either way, you’ll receive a detailed written estimate that clearly outlines all costs and services – no surprises or hidden fees. We’re committed to making the quoting process as transparent and convenient as possible so you can plan your move with confidence.
When should I schedule my move?
We recommend booking 3-4 weeks in advance for the best availability, especially for:
Weekend dates
End-of-month moves (last 10 days)
Summer months (peak moving season)
That said, we often accommodate last-minute requests for midweek or mid-month moves. When you call for your estimate, we’ll check availability for your preferred dates and suggest alternatives if needed. The sooner you book, the better we can guarantee your ideal moving day!
Pro Tip: Tuesday-Thursday moves often have more flexibility and sometimes even better rates.
Do you charge hourly or offer flat-rate pricing?
We offer both options to fit your needs:
1. Hourly Rates (Local/Missouri Moves)

Do you require a deposit to book my move?
Yes, we require deposits to secure your moving date:
Local/Missouri Moves: One-hour service fee (applied to your final balance)
Multi-Day/Complex Moves: Higher deposit based on scope
Long-Distance Moves: $500 minimum per truck (guarantees equipment & crew)
Your deposit ensures we reserve your date exclusively and represents our mutual commitment. The remaining balance is due upon completion of your move.
Credit/Debit Cards (2.5% fee for final payments)
Cash
Certified/Cashier’s Checks (required for interstate moves)
Personal Checks (local moves only)
All deposits are applied to your final balance. We’ll provide written confirmation of your payment and guaranteed reservation.
How long will my move take?
Move times vary based on several key factors:
Home size (studio vs. 4-bedroom)
Preparation level (packed/unpacked items)
Building logistics (stairs, elevators, parking distance)
Travel time between locations
Pro Tip: The more packed and organized you are, the faster we work! Many customers save 2-3 hours by using our professional packing services.
Typical Timeframes:
1-2 bedroom apartment: 4-6 hours
3-4 bedroom home: 6-8 hours
Long-distance: 1-3 days (including transport)
We’ll provide a personalized time estimate after assessing your specific needs.
