Need to ship furniture in Kansas City? Whether you're on the Missouri side or Kansas side, Ship Smart provides affordable furniture shipping when traditional movers charge too much or won't handle small shipments.
Great jazz, world-class BBQ, and beautiful fountains make Kansas City a wonderful place to live. But when it comes to moving a few furniture pieces or a small apartment, finding an affordable moving solution in Missouri's largest metro area can be frustrating.
The problem: Traditional moving companies either refuse small shipments or charge minimum fees of $2,000-$5,000—even if you're only shipping a couch and a bed.
The solution: Ship Smart specializes in exactly these situations. For over 19 years, we've helped Kansas City residents ship furniture affordably when moving companies won't help. We charge only for the weight and space your furniture actually uses—no arbitrary minimums.
