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 Buffalo Grove, IL

In Buffalo Grove labor-only moving help typically costs between $430.66 and $530.50. 

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 $75.05 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.

Shaq and his teammate were very attentive and very helpful. They handled our unpacking with more care than the loaders had, and some items are better contained in storage than they were during the trip to storage. We really appreciate their great work and professionalism. We will definitely recommend the services to anyone.

They really worked hard, the load had shifted during transport. It was a mess. And it rained during the unloading. They smiled the whole time. They had our back. They were both so kind, patient, friendly and careful with our items. Despite the conditions they made the experience enjoyable. They are the best, I highly recommend them. Donna B

Fine young men, very strong, very fast, and quite smart about how to move things as a team. They cleared out a closet that I couldn't reach anymore (I am a disabled veteran), and made sure I had the keys for the storage until. Big thanks to your hard-working and professional team.
