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.

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 Melbourne, KY

In Melbourne labor-only moving help typically costs between $369.28 and $745.11. 

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 $95.63 an hour.

HireAHelper’s Best Price Guarantee


Find a lower price for the same move? We’ll match it—because making your move easier and more affordable in Melbourne is what we’re here for.

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.

I opted for packing and moving, and they were right on time. Used every minute wisely, and they packed my container floor to ceiling with no space unused. I’ve moved 2 twice a year for over 20 years and this was the BEST !

Great attitude and polite. The gentleman that unpacked my POD container showed up with a positive attitude and politely introduced themselves. Before they arrived, they had already worked moving other customers. That didn't sliw them down, they were ready to work and got the job done. I definitely recommend this service.

Able to take my 2 bedroom apartment down a flight of stairs and over 150 feet to the POD in under 3 hours. Also did an amazing job fitting everything into the POD and using all available space. Highly recommend.

Very happy Neil and Ron were assigned to my move. I was very skeptical the POD was large enough for all our items but they expertly packed it so it all fit. There's no way I could've done this on my own, half our stuff would still be on the driveway. They were very professional and efficient which I greatly appreciated. Definitely hire this outfit, it is money well spent.

Movers Marty + the other mover whose name I mistakenly can’t recall were nice, fast and efficient. They offered me great advice while driving my belongings long distance and kept me informed of things to look out for when unloading. I highly recommend Move Plus Cincy. TY for making this move across cities easier.

They both came in, did what we asked of them, were very polite and they got the job done for us. They were late but they did follow up with several texts and by phone to let us know they were running behind.
