A few things worth knowing before you book. Always ask for a binding, not-to-exceed estimate — a non-binding quote can legally increase 10% to 20% if the crew claims your inventory weighed more than expected. If a large truck can't reach your street or driveway, expect an extra fee for a smaller shuttle vehicle or for carrying items a longer distance to the door. Movers also can't legally transport certain items, including propane tanks, aerosol cans, fireworks, or bleach, so use those up or move them yourself. Have cash on hand for tipping, since most crews can't add it to a card payment.

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 New Castle County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 36% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
