|---|---|---|
| Bethlehem, PA | $392.12 | $1,058.99 |

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.

POD #1 of 2 was finished this morning and these 3 men did a completely professional job handling the contents of my home and interacting with me. They will return in a couple of days to pack up #2 POD. I am very pleased.
The two gentlemen that came to our home were courteous and polite. They worked very quickly and we were completed within 2 1/2 hours and they filled our pod with experience and precision. We will definitely use them again. Thank you.
They were prompt and courteous. Packed my truck quite neatly and managed disassembly of item without my packed tools. I’d absolutely use them again, but I never plan on being back!!
Charles and Mario were fantastic! Absolutely no complaints. Even when their truck broke down, they did a great job of communicating and came up with a quick solution.
Highly recommend! For a job I thought would take 2 hours they did it in 45 min! So quick! Rasheed and D were so polite, on time and respectful. You should request them! I would use this company and workers again :)
Jake and Dane were extremely helpful and I appreciate their attention to detail. They were willing to help with no problems and I would like to work with them again when needed. Thank you ??
My team were hired to load a POD. Julio and Gary worked very hard, in a timely manner and were magicians fitting in all my stuff. Would not hesitate to recommend them.
Dom & Gino were very respectful and hard working. They got everything I wanted packed and then some. I was truly impressed with how professional and polite they were. I would highly recommend them any day.
Everything done as asked! Complicated move but handled all requests professionally. Very respectful of property. Friendly and offered helpful suggestions! Complimented my massive sunflowers that were in their way.
I hired Lucas to move my furniture to a “pod” while my apartment was being tiled, And then to move it back again. They were excellent. They were very prompt, efficient, courteous, and professional. I would highly recommend Lucas to anybody who needs moving assistance in the Philadelphia region.
Julio and his teammate were polite and respectful. Very knowledgeable on what would fit in the truck. They worked quickly, but there was no damage to any items when we got to our destination
Lamont and his colleague were professional, efficient, and so careful with all my belongings. They handled everything with great attention and made what could have been a stressful day feel smooth and easy. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable movers.
Real Advice from Bethlehem Movers
"NYC AREA: Most streets are narrow and barely any parking, if you are moving to a apartment complex ask about loading zones. Visit the area first and establish plans for parking. A successful move depends on your parking location."

Why Book Your Bethlehem Move with HireAHelper?
Frequently Asked Moving Questions in Bethlehem
You've got moving questions, we’ve got answers. Learn what to expect when moving in Bethlehem.
The short answer is that booking with HireAHelper saves you hours of work, helps you get the best price and value, and protects you and your belongings. Here are some of the key ways HireAHelper makes booking movers better:
- Vetted Movers You Can Trust: Every mover on our platform is vetted, background-checked, and held to our high standards. And if anything goes wrong, we act as your advocate to find a resolution with your mover. If we can’t find a resolution, our $1,000 Service Guarantee will cover you and your items.
- Book in Minutes, Not Hours: Contacting multiple local movers, comparing quotes, determining their availability, and researching their reputation can take hours of work. On the other hand, HireAHelper lets you easily compare the reputation of movers, instantly determine availability, see transparent pricing for each, and book online in just a few clicks—even same-day in many areas.
- Dedicated Customer Support: Last minute questions are normal, and our experienced and friendly team is here 7 days a week to help with anything before, during, or after your move.
- Smart, Affordable Protection Options: HireAHelper offers an easy and affordable way to protect your items during a labor-only move. Our optional SmartProtection covers up to $10,000 worth of belongings, and the lowest tier ($2,500) is only $19.
- Best Price Guarantee: All these benefits must come at a higher price, right? Wrong. HireAHelper’s platform lets you compare rates for different movers, so you can be sure you’re getting a good deal. Found a better price for the same service? We’ll match it. That means you don’t pay extra to use HireAHelper—in fact, you may save money.
All Bethlehem 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 SmartProtection™—an 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 mover’s 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 have—make 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.
