Details That Change the Final Bill
- State law requires a visual survey, in person or by video, before any written estimate; a firm quote based only on a typed list is a violation and often precedes a much bigger bill.
- Stairs, carries longer than 75 feet, and heavy pieces like pianos or safes each add surcharges, and most companies bill travel time on top.
- Included coverage pays only $0.60 per pound per article, so a 30-pound television worth $1,000 returns just $18; upgraded protection or your own insurance is the fix.
- Mid-week, mid-month dates outside summer are cheaper and easier to book than weekends and month-ends.
- Keep documents, medications, and essentials in your own car, and plan to dispose of paint, propane, and cleaning fluids yourself since movers cannot load them.

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 San Diego County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 12% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
