The Cost of Hiring Movers in Mercer, NJ

On average, it costs $274.28 to hire moving helpers in Mercer, NJ. Your actual price will depend on how long your move takes—but across Mercer, the typical hourly rate for moving labor is around $82.35.

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 Mercer, NJ is $953.51, with an average hourly rate of $114.85. 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.

Reliable moving and labor was just that. They were on time, (reliable). They were very friendly and knowledgeable. They were respectful of my home and belongings. They put everything where it belonged. Never complained of the intense heat they were working in. They didn't even break for water until they were done. I highly recommend Katrell and her crew.

Highly recommend!!! If I could give a 10 Star review I would. They were that good!!! Cantrell and Jay were amazing! They knew exactly how to move and maneuver the furniture. They were careful with unwrapping and placing the furniture in the right spot. Pleasant and professional. And strong!! I was amazed.

They guys did a great job with taking all of the stuff out of the POD. I appreciated that they worked well with each to get the job done in 2 hours. They even moved 2 pieces of furniture after they were placed because I didn't like how it looked in the room. Thank you so much for making it less stressful then it has been.
