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 East Lyme, CT

In East Lyme labor-only moving help typically costs between $298.25 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 $81.55 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 guys were great! Polite, friendly, and really knew how to pack a vacation! A bookcase blew over in the wind, but it's easily fixable. If we ever need help again, we'll be using them!

Absolutely incredible work with my move. I have never hired movers before, however, after this experience, I would be encouraged to do so again. The team was professional and efficient on one of the hottest days of the year so far. Could not recommend them more.

2 man crew arrived on time and completed the unloading of a small POD container in the time estimated. Very efficient crew taking direction and care handling box placements within the residence. We would indeed use this service again as needed. Thanks to David the crew chief.

The people at Advantage Moving were a pleasure to work with. Tyler and Josh did an outstanding job of moving my S*?!t to my new apartment - and Greg Cooper was flexible and accommodating with scheduling. When i need to move again in the future (hopefully the distant future), i will reach out to Advantage Moving directly. Thank you, Gentlemen! - Dan J

The two workers wrapped our furniture exceptionally well. (Maybe too well) We ran out of wrapping supplies mid-way through the move. I had to buy more. Make sure you have plenty of supplies before your move:) They were great.

The crew was wonderful! They were on time and very respectful of our belongings. They worked quickly and efficiently. We underestimated the size truck that we would need, but the crew carefully packed the truck using every available space in an attempt to fit as much as possible. I would highly recommend them
