Get the estimate type right
A non-binding estimate is only a guess — the price can climb if the job runs long or your belongings weigh more than expected. Ask for a binding or not-to-exceed quote instead, and insist on an in-person or video walkthrough rather than a phone guess. Skipping that walkthrough is how surprise charges show up on moving day.
Fees that catch people off guard
- A long-carry charge if the truck cannot park near your door
- Stair fees in buildings without a working elevator
- Higher hourly rates at month-end, in summer, and on weekends
Movers also cannot legally haul hazardous items such as propane tanks, gasoline, or aerosol cans, so clear those out yourself beforehand. If your schedule allows it, booking a weekday move in the middle of the month is the simplest way to dodge the peak-season markup.

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 Genesee County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 29% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
