Beat the Route 72 traffic
If you're heading toward LBI or crossing the causeway, summer weekends mean gridlock on Route 72 - and since movers bill by the hour, that traffic sits on your bill too. You'll do better scheduling mid-week or early in the morning during the off-season.
Don't get burned on the fine print
Don't accept a verbal quote - insist on a binding or not-to-exceed estimate in writing, since a non-binding one can legally cost you more later. Make sure whoever you hire carries a valid NJ household goods ID number. And don't forget the crew: it's customary to tip $4 to $6 per mover per hour, or 15-20% of the bill split among the team.

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 Ocean County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 17% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
