Always request a binding, not-to-exceed estimate in writing: non-binding quotes can legally increase by 10 percent or more once your items are weighed on delivery day. Be upfront and thorough about heavy or awkward items like pianos, oversized furniture, or safes when the estimator does your inventory, since anything left out tends to trigger surcharges on moving day. South Haven's summer beach traffic and tight parking near the lake also get heavier from late spring through early fall, so book well ahead and flag narrow streets near the water.
Standard liability coverage included in every move is minimal, covering only $0.60 per pound per item; a $1,000 television weighing 30 pounds would only be covered for about $18 if it's damaged. Ask about purchasing full value protection if you own anything expensive. Pack a separate bin with toiletries, chargers, basic tools, and a change of clothes to keep with you rather than on the truck, so your first night isn't spent digging through boxes.

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 Van Buren County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 34% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
