What to watch for before you book
- Binding vs. non-binding estimates: A binding estimate guarantees the price; a non-binding estimate can legally increase by up to 10% or more at delivery if the shipment weighs more than expected. Insist on an in-home or virtual walkthrough before accepting a quote.
- Valuation coverage vs. actual insurance: Standard released value protection is legally mandated at only $0.60 per pound per item. If a $1,000 television weighing 20 pounds breaks, the mover legally owes only $12. Ask about Full Value Protection (FVP).
- Peak timing surcharges: End-of-month, weekend, and peak summer moves from May–September can add 20% to 30% to hourly rates or truck fees. Mid-week, mid-month booking is usually cheaper.
- Long carry and stair fees: If the truck cannot park near the door, movers may charge a long carry fee. Stairs and bulky items such as pianos or safes can also trigger surcharges if not disclosed upfront.
- Items movers won't touch: Standard liability movers cannot transport hazardous items, propane tanks, paint, bleach, aerosols, or perishable food. Clear these out ahead of time.

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 Cabarrus County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 31% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
