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, NY | $446.29 | $1,177.89 |
| New York | $446.29 | $1,177.89 |
| The United States | $451.87 | $1,167.76 |
Labor-Only Moving Costs by Move Size
As mentioned above, it costs $446.29 on average to hire moving helpers (labor-only) in Oswego, NY, with an average hourly rate of $91.55. 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 |

| 2 Bedroom Apartment | $420.53 | 2 movers | 2.4 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.

401 Oswego Mover Reviews
On average, movers on HireAHelper earn 4.8 stars out of 5.0 after 336,027 verified customer reviews
The movers were on time, very polite and respectful, and worked very hard. They took the time to make sure the job was done correctly and made sure I was satisfied with their work before they left. I would definitely use them again.
I would not have been able to make it without Richard and Q. They moved everything up 3 flights of stairs on a very hot and humid day. So grateful for their help, sense of humor, and work ethic.
The two men who came to help pack our PODS were absolutely amazing, efficient, and personable. We weren’t the most organized packers but they were able to pack our PODS within the allotted time and maximize our space. We are so thankful for them and would recommend this company to those in the area. Reasonable pricing, knowledgeable, and clear communication.
They were on time, professional and friendly. They did a great job and treated my furniture as if it were there own. I would hire them again. Great job and thank you.
They were awesome. We had packed the truck ourselves at one location and they met us at the 2nd location to help with bigger furniture. They pulled out some stuff we had packed and re-arranged things to fit perfectly with hopes of minimal shifting. They were quick, polite, and needed little direction. I would recommend them to anyone looking for great workers! Thanks for the help!
Highly recommend using these movers! They were five minutes early, personable, quick, and they were all respectful of items and property. We had larger items and we had four movers to help move everything. They were done in one hour! You want this company 100%. I’ll be using them again in the future for sure. My mom plans to use them next month.
Drew and his crew were awesome!! Showed up on time, and ready to get to work. Made quick work of my move and were very easy to talk too and tell them what I needed. Would definitely recommend them!!!
Great communication and went above and beyond to make this move easy on me. Finished on time with time to spare that they used to help me clean up. Best experience, would highly recommend.
Outstanding movers!! Fast, efficient and friendly. They handled the furniture very carefully and brilliantly loaded the truck. I would not hesitate to work with them again.
The guys were super friendly and efficient. My moving schedule changed and they were very kind about accomodating it. They truly went above and beyond.
Very grateful for the team at harmony moving. They were on time and had my container unloaded in no time at all. They were very careful with my belongings and I appreciate that!
Absolutely amazing and so incredibly nice! They ended up showing up with 3 people instead of two and moved everything within and hour and a half! Thank you so much again!

- 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.

- 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.
