Protect the quote and the goods
Basic carrier liability is often limited to $0.60 per pound per item, so a 30-pound TV that cost $1,000 would be covered for only $18 unless you buy full value protection. A binding estimate locks the price even if the job finishes faster; a non-binding estimate can rise if the move takes longer, though delivery rules generally cap the required payment at 10% over the estimate before goods are released. Tipping crews is commonly $4 to $5 per person per hour, or 15% to 20% of the total bill split among the crew.

How this works: IRS SOI County-to-County Migration Data, 2022-2023. The IRS compares the address on consecutive tax returns, so every move here is a real filed household. The catch: it publishes annually with about a two-year lag, counts Madison County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 37% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
