Moving Proz is the best overall Overland Park moving company

Moving Proz opened in 2012 when founder Derek Shaw decided to go it on his own in Kansas after growing up in San Diego and going to college in Arizona. Now run by Shaw and his partner, Kelli Warren, the company serves both the Kansas City metro area (including Overland Park) and Denver with local and long-distance moves for commercial and residential customers. Thanks to its major focus on customer service and hiring the right people for the job with background checks, Moving Proz has racked up thousands of reviews with respectable ratings from customers.
We reached out to Moving Proz to get a quote for a three-bedroom local home move. The company said we would need three movers at a rate of $225 per hour with a two-hour minimum. That's the same price as our top alternative, so it's in line with the area. With the minimum, that means you can expect to pay at least $450 with three movers, though that may change depending on how many movers you need and whether you're moving during peak season.

Our quote included an additional $191.25 for truck and travel fees, although your exact amount will depend on the distance your crew has to travel. There was also a $61 materials charge for a TV box and two mattress covers. This mover requires a $100 "reservation guarantee" to book your move, which is a non-refundable deposit that doesn't apply to your move total. If you have to reschedule or cancel, you'll be charged 35% of the moving estimate unless you do so at least five business days in advance of a weekday (Monday through Thursday) move or seven days in advance of a weekend (Friday through Sunday) move.
Moving Proz doesn't take personal checks, but you can pay with cash, a cashier's check or a credit/debit card. There's a 3% fee if you pay with a card.
With thousands of reviews online, Moving Proz has solid ratings, including 4.8 stars at Google (2,551 reviews) and 4.5 stars on Angi (154 reviews). The only exception is Yelp, where the overall score is a more middling 3.2 stars with 71 reviews, with most negative reviews pointing to issues around billing and the accuracy of quotes. The company is BBB-accredited with an A+ rating, though it also has 20 registered complaints over the last three years, again, with most related to billing and delivery issues.
You can call 913-354-7403 or visit the Moving Proz website to request a quote. The company's Overland Park office is located at 12022 Blue Valley Parkway #526, Overland Park, Kan., 66213. Its hours are 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturdays, and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sundays.

Mike Hammer Moving is our top alternative Overland Park mover

Based out of nearby Lenexa, Kan., Mike Hammer Moving is named after its founder, who started the company in 1987 after spending his college years and five years after working for another major mover. With nearly 40 years under its belt, the company is a family affair, with Hammer's sons involved in day-to-day operations. Over the years, Mike Hammer Moving has earned solid review scores from more than a thousand customers across Angi, Google and Yelp.
When we reached out to Mike Hammer Moving, the company representative told us a three-person crew would cost $225 per hour, which is the same as our top pick for the same crew size. There's a two-hour minimum for each job, which means you'll pay at least $450 with a team of three movers. Again, you may be able to get away with a smaller crew if you have a smaller house, so your quoted rate may be different.

To book your move, the company requires a $200 deposit that is applied to your overall move cost. It's refundable as long as you cancel with at least 72 hours of notice.
This mover accepts cash, checks and credit/debit cards for payment with no additional transaction fees for card payments.
Mike Hammer Moving is BBB-accredited with an A- rating and has five registered complaints over the last three years, with those listed related to billing issues.

BLVD Moving is the best national moving company

Yahoo Local is all about giving people the information they need to make confident choices. We enjoy spotlighting local businesses, but sometimes a national moving company is the better option — it all depends on your situation. If you're trying to decide, check out our guide that compares local and national movers . For those going the national route, our top pick is BLVD Moving .
BLVD Moving has been around since 2000 and is run by folks who have spent decades in the moving business. It only operates out of four locations in California, but it offers both local and long-distance moving services across the U.S. It's a family-owned and independent company with its own trucks and movers. That said, its terms explain that it may bring in subcontractors or agents to handle some moves — a common industry practice, especially during peak seasons.
We reached out to BLVD Moving for an estimate on a 500-mile move involving about 1,340 cubic feet of items — about the amount you'd expect for a standard three-bedroom house without any big appliances. The quote came to around $6,700, which is in line with what most long-distance movers charge. To reserve the move, it asks for a 33% deposit, with half of the remaining total due at pickup. The balance is paid when everything is delivered.
Services offered
-
Local and long-distance moves
-
Residential, office and commercial moves
-
Packing services
-
Storage

Financing
If you need to cancel, BLVD Moving will return your deposit as long as you cancel at least two full business days ahead of your scheduled pickup. Delivery times can range from two to 21 business days depending on distance. That window starts from the delivery date you request — so once you're ready to receive your items, it may take just over a month for everything to arrive.
It's best to schedule your move at least a month in advance — or sooner if you're planning to move during busy times like the summer or around the beginning or end of the month. (For more details, take a look at our guide to the best and worst times to move .) Getting a quote is easy — you can arrange a virtual estimate or fill out an inventory form online for quicker results. It also provides financing to qualified customers, with interest rates starting at 0%.
BLVD Moving is accredited by the BBB and holds an A- rating, with 79 complaints on file. That may seem like a lot, but it's actually pretty typical for companies that operate nationwide. It has a 4.4-star rating on Google based on 860 reviews and a 2.3-star average on Yelp from 340 reviews. All of its movers are actual employees who've passed background checks.
The main office is located at 21622 Plummer St., Chatsworth, Calif. 91311. It's open from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. PST every day of the week. To get a quote, call 844-274-0500 or head to its website .

Wilfredo and his crew with BLVD Moving did an excellent job with my long distance move. These guys are the best there is! I've used movers before and I admit that there is a lot to deal with, but they were on time, on top of everything, organized, professional and courteous. I simply could not have asked for better service. I am truly impressed. Don't go anywhere else. I'm extremely pleased with everything from start to finish. - Chandrica M., Google reviews (⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐)

Kansas moving FAQs
What info should you have when requesting an estimate?
When reaching out to various movers for estimates, you'll find that they tend to request similar details. While the process is usually straightforward, it's a good idea to gather some basic information in advance. Below is a quick checklist of what you'll likely need to share:
-
Pick-up and drop-off addresses
-
Size of your residence (number of bedrooms and square footage)
-
Type of dwelling (house, condo, or apartment)
-
Any large or delicate items requiring special handling (piano or gun safe, for example)
-
Whether packing assistance is needed
-
Complete item list (often needed by movers that use flat-rate pricing)
All of this helps the moving company assess how many team members and trucks will be necessary, which directly influences the total price. Many movers charge by the hour, but others offer flat-rate quotes, which usually means they'll need a full inventory to give you a precise estimate.
What should you know about packing and storage in Kansas?
Humidity is one of the biggest threats when it comes to packing and storing your belongings in Kansas. Whether you're handling the packing yourself or hiring pros to do it , it's important to keep your boxes in a dry, cool environment to avoid potential damage caused by moisture or temperature swings. For items that are especially sensitive, it's a good idea to look into climate-controlled storage units to help ensure they stay dry.
Not sure which belongings might need that extra care? Check out our guide to items that require climate-controlled storage .
What's different about condo and apartment moving in Kansas?
If you're relocating from a multi-story apartment or condo in Kansas, be aware that your building may have specific guidelines for move-in or move-out days. It's a good idea to speak with your landlord or building manager ahead of time to find out if there are limitations on when moves can take place. You should also ask whether elevator reservations are required or if there's a designated service elevator for moving purposes.
In some cases, buildings might ask for a certificate of insurance (COI) from your movers. This document confirms that the moving company carries adequate insurance to cover potential damages up to a set amount. Keep in mind that certain movers may charge a fee to issue a COI, so consider that cost when planning your move.
Do you need moving permits or licenses to move in Kansas?
You don't need a special license to move in Kansas, but your moving company does to operate legally within the state. Moving company regulation is handled by the Kansas Corporation Commission's (KCC) Transportation Division and movers are required to get a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity . Companies that use commercial vehicles with a gross vehicle weight rating of 10,001 pounds or more also have to get a U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) number.
For verification, you'll find a list of moving companies that have filed household goods tariff documents on the KCC website . If you want to learn more, you can check out our full guide to Kansas moving company licensing and regulations .
Note that you may also need to get a temporary parking permit for your moving truck if you plan to occupy a public space for an extended period of time (usually common in busy downtown areas of cities).
How much should you tip movers in Kansas?
Tipping your movers isn't mandatory, but it's a thoughtful gesture if the team goes above and beyond. A general guideline is to offer a tip ranging from 10% to 20% of the total cost of your move. You can hand it out in cash and divide it among the crew, or in some cases, include it in your final payment if the company provides that option. Certain movers may also accept tips digitally via apps like PayPal or Zelle.
