Moving Companies in Florence, SC
Florence movers typically charge by the hour, averaging $135 to $140 per hour for a standard two-person crew, with a two-hour minimum that puts your labor floor around $270 to $300 before travel fees or packing materials. Many companies also add a one-time dispatch or fuel fee of $100 to $311 depending on distance. Full local moves generally total $450 to more than $4,500, depending on home size.
Get an in-person or detailed video walkthrough rather than a phone quote, and insist on a binding or not-to-exceed estimate so the company can't charge more than agreed except for undisclosed items. Box and tape small items before the crew arrives — every extra minute inside that two-hour minimum still costs you. Flag any long walkway or flights of stairs in advance, since many movers add surcharges for those once they're already on-site. Basic coverage is capped by law at 60 cents per pound per item, which won't replace anything valuable, so ask about additional coverage if you need it. Booking mid-month or mid-week instead of at month's end can save 10% to 20%.

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 Florence County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 42% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
