Reducing surprises on moving day
- The clock typically starts when the crew reaches the loading address and keeps running through unloading; travel time is billable and often adds about an hour.
- Request a binding-not-to-exceed estimate. A non-binding quote can rise if the move runs long.
- Mention stairs, long walks, or heavy pieces such as pianos and safes before booking.
- Basic liability commonly covers $0.60 per pound per article, so full value protection may be worth adding for electronics or antiques.
- Tipping is optional; a common guide is $20–$40 per mover for a half-day and $50 or more per mover for a full-day job.

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 Lancaster County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 31% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
