Before you book
- Insist on an in-person or video survey; quotes given without one can mask lowball problems.
- Ask whether narrow roads, tight driveway turns, long hall carries, or stairs will trigger extra charges.
- Check valuation coverage: basic liability may only cover around 60 cents per pound, so full-value protection matters for high-value items.
- Confirm the mover holds current NY Department of Transportation or US DOT authority.
- Tip the crew: roughly $20 to $40 per mover for half-day work, or $50+ per mover for a strenuous full day.

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 Suffolk County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 13% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
