What Is Labor-Only?
When most people think of a moving company, they picture a full-service crew that loads, drives, and unloads everything. For in-town moves, 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 moving contractors to help load or unload your furniture and boxes.
While labor-only requires a bit more work on your end to coordinate all the details, it’s considerably more affordable.

These guys were terrific with regard to loading my PODS container. I received confirmation phone calls the day before and the morning of my move, and they showed up right on time. They were completely prepared, polite and professional, worked non-stop for 3 hours to keep me on schedule with the other move-related tasks I had that day, and they were very respectful of my household goods. I'd definitely recommend them, and was so impressed that I'll be asking them to do the unloading of the container at my new residence.
These guys were good-natured, hard-working, and respectful. They did a really great job, and in less time than I expected.
They were on time
They knew what they were doing
I would use them again
HP3 moving did an outstanding job with my move in. They arrived on time, were personable, asked questions to help make sure they were putting things where needed, and were very hard working. Frank and Ronald were a pleasure to work with.
It was nice to have help but they showed up 30 minutes late, tracked mud into our home and I found several boxes and a storage chest placed on their sides in the garage.
If i could leave 12 stars I would!!! George, Jeff and Katherine were absolutely the BEST MOVERS we have ever had! They were like magicians fitting all of our stuff into the 28 foot Upack trailer. They were super friendly, amazing hard workers and knew exactly what they were doing. You can tell they have a ton of experience moving. I CANNOT SAY ENOUGH about the way they work together and get the job done the right way!! Do NOT look elsewhere for moving labor help...STOP now and book these 3, you will NOT regret it!! STRONGLY AND HIGHLY RECOMMENDED without reservation!!!!!
Even with the snow these movers (John & Travis) came through. They worked quickly and efficiently. They loaded our POD with a good plan & good care. Thank-you!
Willie tye Julius and Peter were professional helpful and courteous at all times. They hustled all the time they were here. I would highly recommend them to anyone needing to move in the buffal area. Great job
We have used WNY several times.......they are always timely and helpful......careful of our home and furniture and just downright pleasant to work with. You cannot go wrong having them take care of whatever your moving requirements are..........I will use them again!
We had a 3 man team hired to help us unload a 27 foot truck. Not only did we finish in two hours. The guys were amazing. They worked hard, kept everyone laughing, and took great care of our stuff. I would highly recommend using them!
Devin's crew was on time and prepared for the job. They worked hard and were very careful. I would call them again and will definitely recommend them to friends.
Devon and Ty were terrific.........here on time....responding to an urgent need.....careful and quick......absolutely recommend them for any moving issue
WNY movers did a phenomenal job. They worked very hard and were gentle with our furniture. we were concerned about the amount of space in our trailer but they packed everything expertly and we ended up having extra space when we were done! They helped take apart our furniture and strap it down for a secure move. We were very impressed and thankful to have them. Would use them again.
they worked harder and faster than any movers I've had before. There were items I was sure wouldn't fit through the entry into our apartment and they found a way. A+++. Will definitely use them again when we move out of this place.

The short answer is that booking with HireAHelper saves you hours of work, helps you get the best price and value, and protects you and your belongings. Here are some of the key ways HireAHelper makes booking movers better:
Vetted Movers You Can Trust: Every mover on our platform is vetted, background-checked, and held to our high standards. And if anything goes wrong, we act as your advocate to find a resolution with your mover. If we can’t find a resolution, our $1,000 Service Guarantee will cover you and your items.
Book in Minutes, Not Hours: Contacting multiple local movers, comparing quotes, determining their availability, and researching their reputation can take hours of work. On the other hand, HireAHelper lets you easily compare the reputation of movers, instantly determine availability, see transparent pricing for each, and book online in just a few clicks—even same-day in many areas.
Dedicated Customer Support: Last minute questions are normal, and our experienced and friendly team is here 7 days a week to help with anything before, during, or after your move.
Smart, Affordable Protection Options: HireAHelper offers an easy and affordable way to protect your items during a labor-only move. Our optional SmartProtection covers up to $10,000 worth of belongings, and the lowest tier ($2,500) is only $19.
Best Price Guarantee: All these benefits must come at a higher price, right? Wrong. HireAHelper’s platform lets you compare rates for different movers, so you can be sure you’re getting a good deal. Found a better price for the same service? We’ll match it. That means you don’t pay extra to use HireAHelper—in fact, you may save money.
All East Amherst movers listed on HireAHelper are required to provide standard repair coverage, which reimburses $0.60 per pound for damaged items. Some states may have different rules, and full-value protection is only required by the federal government for moves that cross state lines.
One of the advantages of booking with HireAHelper is that every move includes our $1,000 Service Guarantee. Plus, you can upgrade your protection by adding SmartProtection™—an optional coverage for labor-only moves that offers up to $10,000 in damage coverage, with multiple tiers to choose from.
Yes, professional movers will typically disassemble and reassemble furniture as part of the moving process. However, there are certain items that movers may not be able to disassemble. Learn more about how furniture disassembly and reassembly works when you hire movers.
One set of stairs is always included in your mover’s rate when you book through HireAHelper, but additional sets of stairs may cost more. The best way to get an accurate estimate is to get a quote and indicate the number of sets of stairs that you have—make sure to include stairs leading to a basement if you will have any items that need to be moved into or out of it. Read more about when movers charge extra for stairs.
You should start packing at least three to four weeks before your move, but the sooner the better. If you need to downsize or organize, we recommend starting that process 6-8 weeks before your move when at all possible.
Need to move in a hurry or don’t have time to pack? HireAHelper makes it easy to add professional packing as an add-on to your move. When available, you can get packing help for just several rooms or your whole home.
For helpful tips, step-by-step guides, and checklists, go to our packing hub.
