Moving Companies in Goshen, NJ
Goshen is a small Cape May County community, so movers typically dispatch from a regional South Jersey base rather than a local office — which is exactly where hidden fees tend to creep in.
- The crew rate climbs with headcount: $150 to $190 an hour for two movers, $185 to $230 for three, $220 to $300 for four. Ask which crew size your quote assumes.
- Many companies bill double the drive time between their warehouse and your address. Ask: is travel time charged from your base, and how is it calculated?
- A "long carry" fee of $75 to $150 applies if the truck can't park close to your door. Ask: how far will the truck actually be able to park?
- Stairs and bulky items like pianos or large appliances can add flat surcharges of $150 to $600 or more. Ask: do stairs or specialty items cost extra, and how much?
- Tipping isn't in the quote. Budget $20 to $40 per mover for a half or full day, separately from the bill.
- A non-binding estimate is only a guess — insist on a written, binding not-to-exceed number instead.
A one-bedroom typically totals $450 to $950, and a two-to-three-bedroom home $900 to $1,800 or more, so use those as your baseline before comparing quotes from the movers listed below.

Goshen refills from a distance: nearby counties pull households out, and the rest of the country more than replaces them. Head count stayed flat all the same — arriving households are smaller (1.65 people on average) than the ones leaving (1.57), so the city gained homes without gaining residents.
Each bar shows that state's in/out split — rows are ranked by total volume.
Households arriving from another state report $117,849 in average annual income; those relocating from elsewhere in New Jersey report $120,448. Long-distance arrivals are the higher-budget half of the market.
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 Cape May County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 41% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
