Before you book, run through this checklist:
- Get an estimate in writing, binding or not-to-exceed, never a vague phone quote
- Ask if the hourly clock includes drive time from their shop to your home
- Confirm whether a long driveway or narrow stairs will trigger extra fees
- Check that basic coverage, usually just $0.60 per pound per item, is enough, or add full-value protection
- Schedule mid-week and mid-month to avoid tourist-season traffic delays and save 10 to 20 percent

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 Horry County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 37% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
