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.

The Cost of Moving in Downey, CA
In Downey labor-only moving help typically costs between $298.89 and $541.99.
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 $69.18 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.

The movers at Advanced Moving were terrific! They were expert movers who packed my POD in such a way as to keep furniture from moving. They ensured enough space for my belongings and carefully moved and packed everything. I would use them again if I needed another move.
They accommodated an earlier start time for me. They were quick , efficient, and respectful of my things and home. I would recommend them, they were very friendly and professional. Thanks so much.
They did such a great job! I’m so relieved they were able to help my daughter and I move her stuff! Everything is packed so much better than we ever could have packed it!
These guys are the best of the best. I hired them for 2 hours. They came in, saw what needed to be done, packed 2 full pods, and were done in that timeframe. It was impressive how quick they worked and how efficiently they got it done. Easily would recommend these guys to anyone.
They were on time and fast. They worked hard and packed my trailer tightly saving me so much space and money. I recommend 3 movers, the extra person was key in keeping things moving during disassembling and demounting furniture and TV. I would book them again for a future move.
The two young men who helped load my cubes were truly amazing! They were strong, efficient, and made all my items fit into the two cubes with some extra room. And they loaded everything in less than 2 hours—I recommend them highly!
They called and text twice to say they would be late on Saturday. They started at 1230 pm and finish loading at 217 pm. Once they were here they did a great job! They were very friendly and knew what they were doing. They work less than two hours so I didn't tip them. I know they were paid for three hours. Thanks, Mike Baker
The 2-person team who helped pack my POD did an amazing job!!! They communicated well, worked with me to get as much as possible in the POD, and were super friendly. Can’t say enough to thank both of them for their quality work. Will definitely use them again in the future!
They showed up early, and did an amazing job loading our POD. We were very concerned about what would fit and they somehow magically fit everything but a couch we had let them know was optional. I'd say every single inch of space was used. Amazing job. They also finished within 2 hours which was great. Highly recommend using them for your moving needs.
Excellent job unloading a uhaul for us. They were 45 minutes late (service did call us to notify) so we enednup doing alont of the work on our own because we were on a time crunch. Otherthan being late-they were excellent . & yes would hire again.
The movers arrived right on time and were both respectful and professional throughout the entire process. They clearly knew what they were doing. After taking a look at everything we had, they advised us to go with a larger POD, and they were right. While their service was on the pricier side, the peace of mind and expert help made it well worth it. Highly recommend!
The two men from Rigo's did a great job. They were courteous, careful, and efficient. They packed things into my pod in a very professional manner that indicates they have done this before. Everything was still in place and still in one piece when I got the container again, after moving multiple states away.
