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 Downingtown, PA

In Downingtown labor-only moving help typically costs between $356.90 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 $86.84 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.

Karim and his crew were great. He stayed in contact with me regarding what time they would arrive as I was the last job of the day. They took great pride in taking care of my belongs. They were very efficient at packing my storage unit for me.

Karim and Rod we tremendous! Moved from a storage unit to a house. Very professional, great conversation and got the job done no matter what curveball we threw at them. I would highly recommend. We enjoyed them so much, we booked them for the following day to move items from a townhome to our house. That review to follow.

Provided great service to load our moving pod on an extremely hot and humid day. We were worried if everything would fit and their efficient packing allowed for additional room in the pod.

The crew was fabulous. They arrived on time, respected my household items, interacted with me thoughtfully and courteously, and were incredibly hardworking and patient as they carried a piano and hundreds of boxes up three flights of stairs on a hot, humid day. I can't say enough about these three young men except they deserve a big raise. They're a great advertisement for your company.

I was supposed to get 2 guys but only got one. They said they had another 2 guys en route, but they were running 2.5 hours late. That being said, the guy who came was very helpful, definitely knew what he was doing, and did a great job helping us move stuff downstairs and pack the truck. Would hire again for sure.
