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 youâd pay for local full-service. Full-service is definitely more convenientâbut 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 | |
|---|---|---|
| Olympia, WA | $396.52 | $1,238.84 |
| Washington | $461.51 | $1,238.84 |
| The United States | $451.87 | $1,167.76 |
Labor-Only Moving Costs by Move Size
As mentioned above, it costs $396.52 on average to hire moving helpers (labor-only) in Olympia, WA, with an average hourly rate of $93.77. Your final price will depend on how long your move takes.
To get a better sense of what your move might cost, you can see the average cost for different-sized moves in the table below. Learn more about HireAHelper's methodology for calculating average costs based on proprietary data from over 1 million moves.
| Home Size | Average Cost | Average # of Movers | Average # of Hours |
| 1 Bedroom Apartment | $356.83 | 3 movers | 2.2 hours |
| 2 Bedroom Apartment | $410.74 | 3 movers | 2.4 hours |
| 3 Bedroom Apartment | $479.36 | 3 movers | 2.8 hours |
| 2 Bedroom House | $429.75 | 3 movers | 2.6 hours |

| 4 Bedroom House | $600.59 | 4 movers | 3.1 hours |
| 5 Bedroom House | $709.85 | 4 movers | 4 hours |
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, itâs considerably more affordable.

Hello, The packing job went very, very, well! Chase was my correspondence and along with his associate Marcus they packed all of my belongings that they could. The photos showed a very neatly organized and stacked pod. I appreciate their ti.e and expertise. Thank you.
So careful with my tricky treadmill and all my heavy items. Even kept asking me to set up things that I could handle myself. Fantastic! Will select again.
Movers were friendly n took great care of my belongings. They completed my loading of moving truck quickly n efficiently. I would definitely recommend them again.
The guys were great 2 of the 3 guys got here started to work emptying my storage unit into the U-Haul truck. 3rd guy was in a car accident, so the lead guy found a replacement which was here in 20 min... With all 3 they had the 15ft U-Haul truck loaded in 2hrs and a very good job all was tightly loaded... Lee D Lacey,Wa
The team showed up on time and ready to work. Very respectful of our belongings and ensured everything was done to our satisfaction. We would use them again.
Angela and her partner did a Fabulous job unloading my pod. They were very professional and kind. And I got lucky and they were able to come out a day ahead of my appointment. I highly recommend their services.
They wrer really good. Worked continuously & hard, obviously prepared & knowledgeable. Kept us posted on arrival and arrived when they said they would. Took care with our items. Although I hope we don't move again, at least not for a long while, I would want to use them again. Thanks for your great service. Jim
Mike and his crew were absolutely top notch! They were extremely professional and took care of everything we requested plus more! Would highly recommend their team for your move!!!!
The moving crew did a fantastic job! Especially packing multiple delicate pieces of furniture and art. I was amazed how much they got loaded in just 3 hours, very efficient.
Jordan, Samuel and Tommy were great, they pack the POD with care paying attention to ensure my belongings were handled with care and there was no damage to the interior of the house. I would highly recommend them to anyone needing assistance load their POD. There work was well beyond what I expected.
Mike Armstrong communicated well and he and crew arrived on time on the appointed day. They quickly got on board with the solution we had for a problem that had come up. They were clearly experienced and worked hard, giving suggestions along the way about how we could pack up other remaining items. They were careful with our possessions and have done a very good job packing the POD.
Roosevelt and Dan were awesome, hard workers assured me everything would fit and they’d be able to finish on time. They were also cheerful, very pleasant and kind guys. I truly enjoyed them.Thank you.

The short answer is that booking with HireAHelper saves you hours of work, helps you get the best price and value, and protects you and your belongings. Here are some of the key ways HireAHelper makes booking movers better:
- Vetted Movers You Can Trust: Every mover on our platform is vetted, background-checked, and held to our high standards. And if anything goes wrong, we act as your advocate to find a resolution with your mover. If we canât find a resolution, our $1,000 Service Guarantee will cover you and your items.
- Book in Minutes, Not Hours: Contacting multiple local movers, comparing quotes, determining their availability, and researching their reputation can take hours of work. On the other hand, HireAHelper lets you easily compare the reputation of movers, instantly determine availability, see transparent pricing for each, and book online in just a few clicksâeven same-day in many areas.
- Dedicated Customer Support: Last minute questions are normal, and our experienced and friendly team is here 7 days a week to help with anything before, during, or after your move.
- Smart, Affordable Protection Options: HireAHelper offers an easy and affordable way to protect your items during a labor-only move. Our optional SmartProtection covers up to $10,000 worth of belongings, and the lowest tier ($2,500) is only $19.
- Best Price Guarantee: All these benefits must come at a higher price, right? Wrong. HireAHelperâs platform lets you compare rates for different movers, so you can be sure youâre getting a good deal. Found a better price for the same service? Weâll match it. That means you donât pay extra to use HireAHelperâin fact, you may save money.
All Olympia movers listed on HireAHelper are required to provide standard repair coverage, which reimburses $0.60 per pound for damaged items. Some states may have different rules, and full-value protection is only required by the federal government for moves that cross state lines.
One of the advantages of booking with HireAHelper is that every move includes our $1,000 Service Guarantee. Plus, you can upgrade your protection by adding SmartProtectionâ˘âan optional coverage for labor-only moves that offers up to $10,000 in damage coverage, with multiple tiers to choose from.
Yes, professional movers will typically disassemble and reassemble furniture as part of the moving process. However, there are certain items that movers may not be able to disassemble. Learn more about how furniture disassembly and reassembly works when you hire movers.
One set of stairs is always included in your moverâs rate when you book through HireAHelper, but additional sets of stairs may cost more. The best way to get an accurate estimate is to get a quote and indicate the number of sets of stairs that you haveâmake sure to include stairs leading to a basement if you will have any items that need to be moved into or out of it. Read more about when movers charge extra for stairs.
You should start packing at least three to four weeks before your move, but the sooner the better. If you need to downsize or organize, we recommend starting that process 6-8 weeks before your move when at all possible.
Need to move in a hurry or don’t have time to pack? HireAHelper makes it easy to add professional packing as an add-on to your move. When available, you can get packing help for just several rooms or your whole home.
