Where do people moving out of Glendale go?

IRS county migration data for filing years 2022 to 2023 records 86,691 returns moving out of Maricopa County, the county Glendale sits in, and 91,952 moving in. A return approximates a household rather than a person. Those filings cover 146,581 individuals leaving and 150,790 arriving.

The counties receiving the most households from Maricopa County were Pinal County (10,805 returns), Pima County (2,720 returns) and Yavapai County (2,297 returns).

Arrivals came mainly from Pinal County (6,549 returns), Los Angeles County, CA (3,562 returns) and Pima County (3,262 returns).

These figures come from federal tax return data and cover all household moves, not only those using professional movers.

It is not the number of companies that will serve a move there: a mover registered in a neighbouring city can take the job, and a company registered in Glendale may not.

Which movers are federally registered in Glendale?

13 companies with a Glendale address on their federal registration hold a granted household goods authority from the FMCSA, and 8 of those identify as a moving business in their legal or trade name. The 8 listed below are the ones registered with the agency longest, ordered by the federal registration date, earliest first. Registration age is the agency's own record. It is not a ranking, it is not a quality judgement and it is not a recommendation.

97 active registrants in Glendale tick household goods among their cargo types on the census form, and 42 of those carry any authority row at all. The cargo tick box is filled in by the registrant, so this list uses the agency grant instead, then sets aside general freight, trucking, logistics and courier registrants that hold the authority without presenting themselves as household movers. It is not every mover serving Glendale: a company based elsewhere may serve the city, and a registered address is not a service area.

Does a federal registration mean a Arizona licence?

No. Federal registration and Arizona authorisation are separate. The list above shows the federal record only, and we have not verified whether any company listed holds a Arizona licence or permit.

Arizona publishes no mover licence lookup because it issues no mover licence. For a move inside Arizona, confirm the company is registered with the Arizona Corporation Commission. For a move crossing a state line, check the carrier in the FMCSA online search application or call 202-385-2423.

When is the cheapest time to move in Glendale?

Peak demand across Arizona runs October–April. Dates outside that window, and dates away from the last and first few days of any month, are where carriers have spare capacity — and spare capacity is what makes a crew negotiable on price.

We do not publish a percentage saving for moving off-peak in Glendale. We hold no month-by-month booking price data for this city, and a discount figure taken from a national average would not describe this market. What we can say is structural, and it holds in every market:

  • Mid-month beats month-end. Leases and closings cluster at the turn of the month, so that is when crews are fully booked and least flexible.
  • Mid-week beats the weekend. Saturday is the single most requested moving day; a Tuesday or Wednesday competes with far fewer households for the same trucks.
  • Off-peak beats October–April. Outside the peak window, carriers are trying to keep crews working rather than turning jobs away.
  • Flexibility is the lever, not the calendar alone. On an interstate move, giving the carrier a pickup window of several days rather than one fixed date is usually worth more than any single date choice, because it lets them combine your shipment with another on the same lane.

The only reliable way to price a specific date is to put the same date in front of several licensed carriers and compare written estimates. Ask each one what the same move costs two weeks earlier or later — the gap between those two numbers is your real off-peak saving in Glendale, measured on your move rather than on an average.

How much should you tip movers in Glendale?

A tip is never part of a written estimate and never part of a binding price. It is discretionary, it is paid per mover rather than per crew, and it is handed to each mover directly at the end of the job rather than to the foreman to divide. Our working guideline scales with hours rather than with the value of the shipment, because that is how moving labour is actually priced:

  • $10 to $20 per mover for a job of two hours or less.
  • $20 to $40 per mover for a local move under four hours.
  • $40 to $60 per mover for a full day, meaning six hours or longer.

These are a BestMovers.info editorial guideline, not a survey result. We hold no tipping survey for Glendale and no federal record covers gratuities, so nothing here is a local figure. Read the full tipping guide for stairs, long carries, storage and interstate deliveries, where the crew that loads is not the crew that unloads.

Where can you get free moving boxes in Glendale?

Free boxes come from businesses that receive stock in cartons and throw the cartons away, and from households that finished moving last week. The sources are the same in every city, including Glendale:

  • Liquor stores, which have the sturdiest small boxes with dividers
  • Bookshops, for small boxes rated for weight
  • Grocery stores, for produce boxes
  • Offices, for paper boxes with lids
  • Appliance and furniture retailers, for large flat cartons
  • Buy Nothing groups and Facebook Marketplace
  • Craigslist free listings
  • The U-Haul box exchange
  • Anyone in your building who has moved in recently

Ask in the morning, when the overnight delivery has just been unpacked and the cartons have not yet been flattened. Skip anything damp, greasy or previously used for produce that leaked. The free boxes guide covers how many you need by home size — those counts are BestMovers.info planning estimates rather than measured figures — and which boxes are worth buying rather than scavenging.

Frequently asked questions

How much do movers cost in Glendale?
There is no separate cost dataset for Glendale. Using the national estimate, a one-bedroom local move is estimated at $420–$930 and a two-bedroom local move at $630–$1,395, while a two-bedroom interstate move from Glendale is estimated at $3,000–$7,000. Final price depends on distance, packing services, and date.
When is the busiest moving season in Glendale?
Late May through August is the peak window in Glendale, with the heaviest volume around month-end weekends. Established companies commonly book out several weeks in advance during this period.
Should I get an in-home estimate or an online quote?
For local moves under 2,500 lb, an online or phone estimate is usually accurate. For interstate moves out of Glendale or 3+ bedroom households, request a video survey or in-home estimate so the binding price reflects your actual inventory.
What's the most reliable way to verify a Glendale mover?
Check the company's USDOT number on the FMCSA SAFER website, look at their BBB profile and current accreditation, and read recent reviews on Google and Yelp. Avoid any mover unwilling to share a USDOT number on request.
How long does a typical Glendale move take?
A 1-bedroom local move in Glendale usually takes 3–5 hours with two movers. A 3-bedroom local move runs 7–10 hours, and most movers won't book a same-day move past 4 PM start time.
