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 Columbus, NJ

In Columbus labor-only moving help typically costs between $262.48 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 $77.99 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.

They showed up on time, were very professional and extremely careful. These guys did a great job - I had a lot of big heavy furniture items and they took the time to ensure everything went perfectly and was installed without a scratch. I highly recommend this company - they made a stressful experience (moving) into a very simple process!

These guys arrived on time, worked incredibly hard and were very respectful of our property. They managed to move furniture into places where we thought they would not fit without doing any damage to the furniture or to our house. They were incredibly accommodating and helpful. I would most definitely hire them again.

These guys are excellent. My container delivery was delayed a few times, so I kept changing the time for unloading help. Chaz&Crew were super communicative and flexible in finding a time they could still come by and get the move done. Very professional and made our move in 100x easier. Thank you!

Highly highly recommend this company, the movers were extremely careful and knowledgeable when it came to handling the heavy items and organizing things into three pods! The movers really took their time to think things through when setting the items into the pods! They were precisely on time and finished the job early as well! Love this company and would hire them again in a heartbeat!

Highly, highly recommend H&M Movers. We'll be calling them for our next move. They were personable, friendly and FAST! We hired them to help unload our POD container. We were unable to open the POD because items had shifted and were blocking the door. They didn't hesitate to step in and do what was needed to get it open. Once it was open they sprang to action and unloaded it in no time.

They did it again! Karim and Hanif unpacked all my stuff and put it where I wanted it. I was totally expecting them to just unpack and put it wherever. They unloaded everything in the rooms I wanted the boxes and furniture in. They even helped me move my refrigerator to maximize the kitchen space! Hire them! You won't regret it!
