Labor-Only vs. The Traditional Move

When most people think of a moving company, they picture a full-service crew that loads, drives, and unloads everything. 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 movers to load or unload your stuff.

While labor-only requires a bit more work on your end to coordinate all the details, it’s considerably less expensive.

Prefer hands-off? If you’d rather skip the driving and prioritize convenience, you can book a vetted full-service moving company right through HireAHelper.

The Cost of Moving in Astoria, NY

In Astoria labor-only moving help typically costs between $239.62 and $687.19. 

If you’re tackling a smaller job, like unloading a PODS-style container, moving into a storage unit, or just need help with the heavy lifting, you can hire hourly moving labor for around $91.29 an hour.

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 convenient—but that convenience comes at a price.

Hands down - amazing crew. Nayquhon and team were very professional, did all of the moving of pieces into our Pod and Garage very quickly and safely. They even disassembled a few pieces I completely forgot about. This job is for a renovation and we enjoyed them so much we REBOOKED this company for unloading. Thank you!

The company was efficient in setting up the appointment and kept me updated regarding arrival time and day ofadded charges if I went over my time, which I did. Two young men arrived on time, worked hard and were polite. Hopefully, when the pod reaches me at the final destination, there will be no damage attributed to them.
