The Cost of Hiring Movers in Essex, MA
On average, it costs $445.09 to hire moving helpers in Essex, MA. Your actual price will depend on how long your move takes—but across Essex, the typical hourly rate for moving labor is around $90.31.
These average costs reflect “labor-only” moves—where you hire movers to load or unload your rental truck, shipping container (like a PODS container), or storage unit. It’s one of the most cost-effective ways to move and is often far more affordable than hiring a full-service moving company—more on that below.
The Cost of Full-Service Moving
The average cost of a local full-service move in Essex, MA is $968.08, with an average hourly rate of $152.47. Full-service moves do cost more, but they come with serious convenience—you won’t need to rent a truck, drive it, or coordinate a shipping container.
Prefer the all-in-one, hands-off experience? Full-service might be your move. Here’s how it compares to labor-only options.

They were so amazing. Moved all of my stuff so fast I was amazed. Amazing personalities and overall great people. I highly recommend them for your move!!! 11/10
My team of Good Guys showed up on time, finished packing 2 pods in less than 2 hours, handled my belongings with great care, and were polite, respectful and easy to work with. They were also very affordable. This was the second time I have used this company and I was very pleased with their work and the experience both times. Strongly recommend them!
Peter, Christian and Jariel were amazing, arrived early and got everything done super quick. They were an amazing help and super nice guys, very easy to work with, and helped us wrap up our furniture! They were careful about our cat even though she constantly escaped and got in the way. Overall, highly recommend them, couldn’t have gone better.
The two movers that helped us with the moving of pieces around in our townhouse were on time and got everything accomplished efficiently and professionally. They were great!
Excellent work. Fast and efficient, but still took the time to make sure things were packed into the trailer well to keep everything safe. Highly recommend, A++
Joe and Stephen arrived as scheduled and unpacked my container very efficiently. They had to handle things delicately, too, as the movers I hired at the loading stage didn’t do a great job of packing so things shifted a lot during its travel across country. But they made sure no additional damage was done. They were extremely personable and I’d hire them again.
Steve, Terrel and James were penomenal movers. They were polite, hard working, friendly and very conscientious of my belongings and how they should be properly packed. I highly recommend this service from First Class Movers. You will be very pleased with their professionalism and skill.
Craig and his team came prepared and worked hard to do some interior moves in our home. They easily troubleshooted a few small doors and awkwardly-sized pieces of furniture. They finished the job earlier than planned, and left everything neat and clean, with no damage to the house. Will definitely be using them again if we need in the future.
Our movers were on time and worked quickly to help us unload. They even stayed a few minutes over time to help us with the last few boxes we still had in our truck! We would use them again.
Extremely quick and resourceful for getting bulky items through narrow passageways. Team members learned our names immediately, very personable. Finished early even after providing extra help reassembling some furniture. Thanks for everything!
I cannot recommend CAM enough!!! Brandon and Joe were literally the hardest workers ever. After a few bad experiences with movers, we were nervous, but they exceeded our expectations. RECOMMEND 100%!!!!! Thanks guys!!!
I highly recommend Henrique and Marcus as movers. They did a great job and finished with time to spare on a very hot day! All of my belongings are in great shape. 10 out of 10!!
