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. 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 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 more affordable.

The Cost of Moving in Buellton, CA

In Buellton labor-only moving help typically costs between $331.38 and $663.28. 

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 $89.44 an hour.

HireAHelper’s Best Price Guarantee


Find a lower price for the same move? We’ll match it—because making your move easier and more affordable in Buellton is what we’re here for.

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.

Jose and Freddie did a fantastic job. They were careful with my belongings and placed furniture exactly where I requested. They also assembled a bed frame and put the legs on two tables. I appreciated their kindness and courtesy and would definitely use them again!

Bryce and Luis were great. They showed up on time and were very nice. They did a fabulous job of packing and were very careful with the furniture. They were able to get all of my stuff onto the truck and they made it easy for us to unload when we got to our final destination. I would highly recommend them.

Great communication from the moment I placed the order to move my niece’s furniture into a storage room. They were at the apartment on time, were accommodating, and careful with furniture. Both of them (Jose being one of them) were very nice, and worked hard during the time allotted for the move. I will use this service when my niece moves back to a house in the fall. Thank you!
