The Cost of Hiring Movers in Columbia, OR
On average, it costs $430.30 to hire moving helpers in Columbia, OR. Your actual price will depend on how long your move takes—but across Columbia, the typical hourly rate for moving labor is around $83.17.
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 Columbia, OR is $918.43, with an average hourly rate of $126.55. 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.

Excellent crew, very attentive and meticulous, not to break anything, which they did not! The crew was also very friendly I would recommend it very highly
Ronnie and his amazing team made this a smooth move in process. Very kind people. We’ll definitely be rehiring this team when we move again later this year. Thank you guys! You were awesome.
Great team of packers! They jumped right in, moved fast and were strategic about how they packed so that everything fit safely. Friendly and informative about what they were doing.
The 2 gentlemen that you sent to my residence today. We're outstanding. Not only were they careful with all my household goods, they stopped to ask questions. Make sure everything was done as I requested. And I want to thank them, and I want to thank you for sending me to very nice guys. Appreciate that thank you
Man on the Move were fantastic! They were on time, finished fast and were very professional in handling our belongings. I would highly recommend them!
Their work was efficient and professional. They arrived on time. They handled heavy objects and furniture that was difficult to get out of the house. They quickly came up with solutions to not stall the time. Both were very friendly and helpful.
The guys were wonderful!! They arrived during the agreed upon arrival window and were very friendly and agreeable to work with. They were careful with our belongings and very efficient with their packing! I would definitely recommend them and use them again.
So incredibly helpful, transparent, and flexible. My husband and I are new to the area and they had some awesome suggestions while moving as well. Everything went so fast and smoothly
The Five Star team arrived on time and worked non-stop for 4 hours emptying two large containers and assembling multiple pieces of furniture. They were very efficient and very respectful of my property and me. They were also delightful to work with. I would definitely hire them again and I strongly recommend them to anyone who needs experienced and capable moving professionals.
