Moving Companies in Port Elizabeth, NJ
Take a look at the movers below before you commit to anyone, Port Elizabeth's tight loading zones and narrow streets near the port mean not every company handles this stretch the same way.
For local moves, a one-bedroom apartment typically runs $350 to $900 with two to four movers, while a two-to-three-bedroom home runs $1,000 to $1,900. If you just need labor to load or unload a truck or container you've rented yourself, expect $75 to $90 an hour per mover. Long-distance and cross-country moves are priced by total weight and distance instead, typically running $2,500 to $8,500 or more.
A few things worth asking about upfront: stair fees if there's no elevator, long-carry charges if the truck can't park near your door, and surcharges for bulky items like pianos or safes. Basic coverage is also thin by law, just 60 cents per pound per item, so a 10-pound, $500 TV that breaks only nets about $6 unless you buy extra protection. Because the area is heavily industrial with tight parking, make sure your mover knows your exact loading setup in advance, or you could get hit with a shuttle-truck fee. Keep medications, documents, jewelry, chargers, and a change of clothes with you rather than on the truck.

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 Cumberland County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 39% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
