The Cost of Labor-Only vs. Local-Full Service
Even after factoring in the cost of a rental truck, gas, and supplies, labor-only moving usually costs less than half of what you'd pay for local full-service. Full-service is definitely more convenientābut that convenience comes at a price. For more on the difference between labor-only and local full-service moves, read below.
| Labor-Only | Local-Full Service | |
|---|---|---|
| Oceanside, CA | $380.70 | $1,184.14 |
| California | $458.12 | $1,152.13 |
| The United States | $451.87 | $1,167.76 |
Labor-Only Moving Costs by Move Size
As mentioned above, it costs $380.70 on average to hire moving helpers (labor-only) in Oceanside, CA, with an average hourly rate of $88.82. Your final price will depend on how long your move takes.
To get a better sense of what your move might cost, you can see the average cost for different-sized moves in the table below. Learn more about HireAHelper's methodology for calculating average costs based on proprietary data from over 1 million moves.
| Home Size | Average Cost | Average # of Movers | Average # of Hours |
| 1 Bedroom Apartment | $355.52 | 2 movers | 2.1 hours |
| 2 Bedroom Apartment | $409.23 | 2 movers | 2.2 hours |

| 2 Bedroom House | $447.86 | 2 movers | 2.6 hours |

| 4 Bedroom House | $625.91 | 3 movers | 3.1 hours |
| 5 Bedroom House | $739.77 | 3 movers | 3.9 hours |
What Is Labor-Only?
When most people think of a moving company, they picture a full-service crew that loads, drives, and unloads everything. For in-town moves, this is known as local full-service.
Labor-only moving works differently. You handle the transportation (like a rental truck or PODS container) and we connect you with professional moving contractors to help load or unload your furniture and boxes.
While labor-only requires a bit more work on your end to coordinate all the details, it's considerably more affordable.
| Full-Service Moving | Labor-Only Moving | |
|---|---|---|
| Price | $$$ | $ |
| Moving Truck | Included | You Provide |
| Loading Help | ā | ā |
| Unloading Help | ā | ā |
| Packing | Add-on | Add-on |

The team from JFK moving did a wonderful job packing my PODs. Very efficient, professional, friendly and punctual. Could not have asked for better. Thank you.
Outstanding service! The men were efficient and worked quickly. They understood the assignment and were able to stuff the POD with everything and had room to spare. Beyond my expectations and believe me I’m a fussy old lady.
This is the same crew that loaded our POD when we moved out, and now moved us in to our new home. They did a great job, were efficient and careful with our property and home. I highly recommend them.
Max and Sam have provided outstanding service. Professional in every way, from packing/shrink-wrapping, boxing, lifting, and moving our stuff. They took good care of all our things, regardless if fragile or non-fragile items. All the best Max and Sam. ‘Til we move again, I will definitely request for both is you… “the dynamic duo!”
The guys from Sd24 were great. I've used moving labor helpers in the past and I know some are better than others. Sd24 emptied my storage lockers and loaded my Uhaul truck quickly and efficiently. When I arrived at my new home, 550 miles later, everything in the truck was still in place and nothing was damaged. If you needed great help at a great price, use Sd24.
Andrew and Kadu were GREAT!!! We have used many moving companies, but these two were so fast, efficient and communicated the best. DEFINITELY use them. They moved our entire apartment into another within 2 hours! Very happy to have found this company.
Excellent job by Mach 1 Moving. This was my first time ever hiring movers, and they made the process so easy. They were punctual and efficient, taking great care to ensure all of my belongings were protected appropriately when loading into my storage pod. They also made sure to protect the property while moving large furniture pieces throughout my house. I would absolutely hire them again!
Christian and Juan were great! They were communicative, respectful and got the job done quickly and efficiently. I would highly recommend them. Thank you!!
We had Robert, Antonio and Jr come and unload 2 16ft PODs. They were fast and efficient and super respectful. They introduce themselves, we walked areas of house and they got started. Handled all furniture with care and great job building furniture needing it. All three were Outstanding. Thank you
These guys were great! On time, prepared for the job, quick, took initiative, and everything moved well! They even had to disassemble our couch to get it out and did so very quickly. We don’t plan on ever moving again, but we would use them if we do! We’d recommend them to anyone. Thanks so much guys!!
As a professional artist who was concerned with packing my paintings safely I was very impressed and grateful with Sitters Movers attention to detail and care. I highly recommend them! They also have a great handout they give you with valuable packing info and the best places to order supplies.
Crew was great. They needed reminders about what all was supposed to go, but they worked hard and seem to have loaded the truck well They were on time and worked the full time.

All Oceanside movers listed on HireAHelper are required to provide standard repair coverage, which reimburses $0.60 per pound for damaged items. Some states may have different rules, and full-value protection is only required by the federal government for moves that cross state lines.
One of the advantages of booking with HireAHelper is that every move includes our $1,000 Service Guarantee. Plus, you can upgrade your protection by adding SmartProtectionā¢āan optional coverage for labor-only moves that offers up to $10,000 in damage coverage, with multiple tiers to choose from.
Yes, professional movers will typically disassemble and reassemble furniture as part of the moving process. However, there are certain items that movers may not be able to disassemble. Learn more about how furniture disassembly and reassembly works when you hire movers.
One set of stairs is always included in your moverās rate when you book through HireAHelper, but additional sets of stairs may cost more. The best way to get an accurate estimate is to get a quote and indicate the number of sets of stairs that you haveāmake sure to include stairs leading to a basement if you will have any items that need to be moved into or out of it. Read more about when movers charge extra for stairs.
You should start packing at least three to four weeks before your move, but the sooner the better. If you need to downsize or organize, we recommend starting that process 6-8 weeks before your move when at all possible.
Need to move in a hurry or don’t have time to pack? HireAHelper makes it easy to add professional packing as an add-on to your move. When available, you can get packing help for just several rooms or your whole home.
