What Changes the Price
A non-binding estimate is just a guess, and if the job runs long you legally owe the higher final number — ask for a binding not-to-exceed price instead so the total is capped. Scheduling matters too: moving between May and September, or at the very start or end of a month, tends to cost more than a mid-month weekday slot.
Basic liability coverage is free but limited to $0.60 per pound per item, so a 30-pound television worth $1,000 nets only $18 if it's damaged in transit. Full value protection, or your own renters or homeowners policy, may cover the gap.

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 Capitol Planning Region rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 20% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
