Aurora sits about 655 miles west of Independence, which makes this an interstate relocation from Missouri to Colorado that most movers classify as a long-distance move.
At this distance carriers price by shipment weight and mileage rather than by the hour. A two-bedroom home (around 5,000 lb of goods) typically costs $3,800 to $5,660 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 2 to 5 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 12 h.
On the Independence side there are 214 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (159 of them authorized for interstate work), and 1,183 around Aurora (464 interstate). For an interstate move you can book from either end; movers near the origin handle loading and are usually the better first call, while a destination-side company can be useful if you need storage or delivery-day help in Aurora.
Independence has a population of about 121,675 and Aurora about 410,053. Aurora is the denser city (2,413 people per square mile versus 1,577 in Independence), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. Colorado is a higher-cost state than Missouri, so budget a little more for destination-side help, deposits and first-month expenses.
