Full-service is definitely more convenient—but that convenience comes at a price. For more on the difference between labor-only and local full-service moves, read below.

 Labor-Only Local-Full Service 
Key Center, WA $461.65 $1,196.44

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.

Armstrong Moving & Labor
Everything was set up with the Pack Rat container to be delivered at a certain day and the following day Armstrong movers were to arrive. Due to the Pack Rat driver calling in sick, the container was now being delivered the following day. This meant that I had to reschedule the movers. We agreed on 4-5 pm. I had to have someone that lives 2 hours away, drive to the site and wait. Armstrong movers did not show up on time. After calling them, they said that they got behind in another job and would be there around 11pm. That did not happen, and they finally showed up after midnight. I cannot even blame them for if it was not for the driver of Pack Rat being a no show, this would not have happened. Pack Rat needs to take a better look at having relief drivers so that the customer is not inconvenienced. Yes, I WOULD use Armstrong again. They did show up as tired as they were and that alone was impressive. They were professional, they placed everything exactly where we wanted it and they did an excellent job. Thank you for not leaving us hanging like Pack Rat did. We appreciate you!

Come On I Wanna Move Ya
Angela was super responsive the day of when getting me a closer time window than the original hour. Treyton and the other guy that was with him (didn’t get his name) went above and beyond to not only take care of my stuff but to unload everything that was needed in the time I allocated. Very professional giving me time checks as we got close to ensure the job was done! Was a little hesitant based off price going into it but we’ll worth the money and was happy leaving the two workers each a tip to take away.

Anthony, the guy in charge of the crew was hardworking and personable. Sergi, a guy on his crew was amazing. So hard working and thoughtful about the placement of each piece. He really showed his care and dedication. Richard, the third guy on the crew was not very helpful. It was like paying for 3 guys and getting 2 ¼ guys. He wanted to chat and if I wasn't watching he would drag stuff across the newly refinished floors even thought I asked him repeatedly not to. If I were going to use them again I'd make it a point that Richard wasn't on the crew. Sergi was worth his weight in gold.

3-1/2 stars. They were nice young men that were quick and effecient. BUT.... they often didn't consider the work at hand. For example, they filled our den with boxes, knowing full well there was furniture to go in there.... so only half the furniture made it into the den, the rest was put in the hall for me to deal with. They were also instructed to put some items in the backyard or side of the house, and some of the items were put on top of the hot tub cover which could have damaged it. A little more thought on the part of the workers would have been nice. Otherwise, everything went fairly well.

Dave was incredably patient with me as we had to reschedule several times due to a hard to pin down closing date on our house. He stayed over the estimated time by several hours, as I didn't guess the amount of stuff or even the number of trucks to haul it very well. They moved in a very professional manner, nothing was broken or harmed. I'd use them again in a heartbeat. Thanks, Jan

Real Advice from Key Center Movers

We asked local movers about what you should know about moving in Key Center. (They’re really nice!)

Bayshore general store on Highway 3 usually has plenty U-Haul trucks and trailers, and the general store is open 24 hours in case you need to drop off late.

If you’re driving over the Hood Canal bridge, it is a drawbridge, so leave with plenty of extra time in case it’s open to let a ship through. Be prepared to wait in an extremely long line and wait up to 30 mins in summer weather

We encourage our clients to try to avoid rush hour traffic as much as possible. The Seattle metropolitan area has some of the worse traffic in the nation and so please plan our your move according to avoid rush hour traffic whenever you are having to drive a truck as part of your move.
