Pricing details worth checking
Basic carrier liability is free and covers just $0.60 per pound per item, so a 20-pound television would only get $12 if it broke. It's worth asking about full value protection if that feels too low. Watch for access fees from long carries or stairs, and clarify travel fees, which often add a flat one to two hours of the hourly rate. Peak weekends, month-end dates, and summer months can push rates higher.
Pack a first-night box, and remember movers can't legally take propane tanks, open alcohol, or hazardous chemicals.

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 Lake County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 23% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
