The Cost of Hiring Movers in Amherst, MA

On average, it costs $293.90 to hire moving helpers in Amherst, MA. Your actual price will depend on how long your move takes—but across Amherst, the typical hourly rate for moving labor is around $77.49.

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 Amherst, MA is $498.37, with an average hourly rate of $106.49. 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.

These guys are terrific! My sister and I hired them to help unload a 20' truck and two Pods. They were on time, friendly, reasonably priced, Very hard workers (--literally bounding up two flights of stairs with heavy book boxes!), and extra careful not to scratch the newly-refinished floors. Thank you, Ryan and your entire team! We recommend you guys highly!

Anthony and his team are great. I’ve used several moving companies and this was by far the best experience. They’re very skilled at disassembling and securely loading furniture, even especially heavy and strangely-shaped desks. They’re exceptionally skilled at loading everything and maximizing the available space. I was really impressed and would hire them again.
