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. 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 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 more affordable.
| Full-Service Moving | Labor-Only Moving | |

The Cost of Moving in Federal Way, WA
In Federal Way labor-only moving help typically costs between $363.35 and $757.32.
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 $93.51 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.

Washington | $403.09 | $825.81 |

I wish I could add more stars. These two fellows were efficient and quick and professional and ideal and deserve the stars I can give them. My neighbor neighbors are also moving and they want them too
Our team was great. They worked hard and fast to load our pod as quickly as they could without taking a break. Would recommend them for sure. They communicated ahead of time and day if to time their arrival with the pod arrival. Don’t hesitate to use them!!
Sam and Moh were amazing! They made our move seamless and stress-free. The team was punctual, professional, and handled our belongings with great care. They completed the job efficiently, and everything arrived in perfect condition. Highly recommend their services!
We hired two helpers (Mike and ?). They were on time and did a great job moving our heavy furniture from the second story. They were careful with our stuff and skillfully loaded all of it into the pod!
They did a very good job at packing the pod and wrapping the furniture. Once they arrived they went straight to work. Very professional . I will say that I was their first appointment of the day and they were over an hour late which put me over an hour late to work.
It was great working with Samir. He packed my items meticulously and made sure they would arrive safe. They were also friendly and professional. I would definitely recommend MWAT. However, please pack all your items before they arrive to speed up the moving process
The movers were 2 hours late but when they arrived they did a great job. I don't think I should have been charges an additional hour because I had to rent the truck for an additional day because of their late arrival. They did good but will not use again. Spent way more money than I needed to spend.
Although there was a mixup on my date, they promptly got 3 great guys out to my house and they did a fantastic job. Efficient, quick, respectful and got the packing done beyond my expectations.
Mike was amazing. Made a stressful situation better for sure. Helped put together our bed, unpacked the truck with as much care as I would have myself. Don’t look for other movers, hire these guys
The team was fast, careful, and friendly. This was a wonderful service and I would recommend this to anyone. This has taken so much stress out of our move.
Not only do they deserve 5 stars for the excellent work they did, but also five stars for communication, friendliness, helping take the pressure off an overwhelming job. James and his crew were top notch!
WOW. Great crew. Mike, Steve, and Larry were truly exceptional. They carefully unpacked a 16 ft container and placed items where we suggested. Wish I could have had them pack my container at the the departure site. If I move again, they will be my number one pick. Don't hesitate, call them.
