HireAHelper's Best Price Guarantee Find a lower price for the same move? We'll match it. You can book with the confidence that you are getting the best value for your move. Learn more. |
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 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 | |
|---|---|---|
| Oswego, IL | $399.56 | $1,126.40 |
| Illinois | $408.32 | $1,085.66 |
| The United States | $451.87 | $1,167.76 |
Labor-Only Moving Costs by Move Size
As mentioned above, it costs $399.56 on average to hire moving helpers (labor-only) in Oswego, IL, with an average hourly rate of $76.46. 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 | $327.20 | 2 movers | 2.3 hours |
| 2 Bedroom Apartment | $376.63 | 2 movers | 2.4 hours |
| 3 Bedroom Apartment | $439.56 | 2 movers | 2.8 hours |
| 2 Bedroom House | $384.03 | 2 movers | 2.6 hours |
| 3 Bedroom House | $447.35 | 2 movers | 2.8 hours |
| 4 Bedroom House | $536.70 | 3 movers | 3.1 hours |
| 5 Bedroom House | $634.33 | 3 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, it's considerably more affordable.
| Full-Service Moving | Labor-Only Moving | |
|---|---|---|
| Price | $$$ | $ |
| Moving Truck | Included | You Provide |
| Loading Help | â | â |
| Unloading Help | â | â |
| Packing | Add-on | Add-on |

Can't say enough good things about this company. I used Pods and had two moving teams - both did a great job and went above and beyond to make sure everything was wrapped and secure.
Both of the gentlemen worked hard and fast. We were holding a garden planting day. I hired them to ensure we had enough help for the event. They were respectful and hardworking. They actually completed the job in about an hour and a few minutes. So grateful for their assistance. Would definitely hire again. Thank you
My team was fantastic! They were extremely efficient, professional, fast and friendly. I could not have asked for a better team and would hire them again without a thought if need be. Thank you!
The movers were very personable and very hard workers. They were prompt. They moved the stuff out and in very quickly and efficiently. They worked well with us.
Lloyd's was really great. The guys were friendly, professional and even were able to move a couple things the previous helpers put in wrong places. I would definitely use them again.
My movers were amazing. They communicated fantastically, kept my inform of their arrival time and completed the job within two hours. They even went above and beyond helping me put together my bed frame. Both were incredibly respectful and this was my best experience with movers I’ve ever had.
Chris and the Logan Lift crew did a fantastic job. They packed our home and loaded the moving trucks for us. Very careful, friendly and professional.
They were efficient and kind, and everything was moved quickly and in good condition. Only qualm was that they arrived very early and seemed to want to leave quickly, which led us to rush there.
They did a great job! They were so speedy and helped to put together my kitchen table and other little things, like take out the trash, while they were there. Would definitely recommend!
Lloyd’s moving and Labor LLC did a remarkable job! Lloyd ensured that the job was complete and without error. They arrived early and were effective and efficient. I would recommend this fine team to all. Great job!
The two gentleman who worked my project were punctual, polite, good communicators and worked extremely hard to complete the job in the assigned time. I will definitely use again
Ricky and the crew arrived on time, well organized, great attitudes, professional and well mannered. They packed the POD container perfectly! Thank you!

Frequently Asked Moving Questions in Oswego
You've got moving questions, weâve got answers. Learn what to expect when moving in Oswego.
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 Oswego 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.
