The Cost of Hiring Movers in Allentown, PA

On average, it costs $404.30 to hire moving helpers in Allentown, PA. Your actual price will depend on how long your move takes—but across Allentown, the typical hourly rate for moving labor is around $88.37.

These average costs reflect “labor-only” moves—where you hire movers to load or unload your rental truck, shipping container (like a PODS container), or storage unit. It’s one of the most cost-effective ways to move and is often far more affordable than hiring a full-service moving company—more on that below.

The Cost of Full-Service Moving

The average cost of a local full-service move in Allentown, PA is $1,411.71, with an average hourly rate of $124.74. Full-service moves do cost more, but they come with serious convenience—you won’t need to rent a truck, drive it, or coordinate a shipping container.

Prefer the all-in-one, hands-off experience? Full-service might be your move. Here’s how it compares to labor-only options.

Adelphia moving Profile Image

Adelphia was much better than movers in Florida. We were very disappointed with the movers in Florida on April 21st. Lamp shades, dresser, and bed frame were all damaged. One of the bolts for the headboard was cracked and Adelphia tried there best to re-assemble. Adelphia felt very bad and could not believe how careless the other movers were when they loaded the U-Pack cube.

We Pick Things Up and Put Them Down Profile Image

Top notch! They showed up right on time and worked super hard and efficiently. Job was loading boxes (some fragile) from a storage locker onto a Uhaul truck. They did an amazing, careful job with the loading so that nothing would shift—true pros. Indeed, their skills and work ethic are the best I’ve ever had among movers. If you want a truck loaded well, hire them!

Although we switched the orifinal scheduling the week prior they arrived on time and worked very quickly and efficciently, maximizing the loading of the container. The 2 man team finished an hour early as we had already staged the load on the first floor (in the garage adjcent to the container). A job well done and worth the cost! Thanks to We Move for your help!

I’m unbelievably impressed by the work ethic, professionalism, and discipline of this Team. What’s more, they demonstrated strategic thinking and how they navigated, difficult and complex architectural obstacles to ensure that all my stuff stayed safe and where I wanted it. I’d give them 100 gold stars if I could. A two bedroom apartment accomplished in less than two hours.

Movers did a great job, unloading a large container and hot weather. They definitely did not work slow. They took multiple boxes per trip. no damages. Use them on prior job, and I'm planning to use them on another job in a couple of weeks.
