Where the savings are
Lewes is a coastal town, and moving during peak season (May through September) means Route 1 and Route 9 traffic can rack up your hourly bill if the crew sits still. Scheduling mid-week, early morning, or outside summer tends to cost less. Insist on a binding not-to-exceed estimate rather than a phone quote — it caps the final price even if the job runs long.
What standard coverage actually pays
Basic valuation coverage pays only $0.60 per pound per item, so a 20-pound TV worth $1,000 nets just $12 if it's dropped. Ask about full value protection if that gap matters to you, and keep documents, medications, jewelry, and anything movers can't legally carry — propane tanks, open chemicals, aerosols — in your own car.

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 Sussex County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 49% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
