Travel charges can add materially to the bill: many New York companies charge for the trip from the warehouse to the pickup, sometimes described as double drive time, or add a separate travel fee, so ask how that is calculated. Request a binding or guaranteed-not-to-exceed estimate after a video or in-person walk-through of the home. Basic carrier liability is usually 60 cents per pound per item, meaning a 20-pound $1,000 television would receive only $12 if damaged unless you purchase Full Value Protection.
In Suffolk County, month-end or peak-summer moves may bring higher rates and reduced truck availability. Tight streets and low tree canopies common in Long Island suburbs can also trigger a shuttle fee if a large semi cannot reach the home. Tipping is customary in New York; many people give about 15% to 20% of the final bill, or $4–$6 per mover per hour.

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.
