For over 18 years, HireAHelper has partnered with top-rated moving companies to help tens of thousands of people complete successful moves. With real customer reviews, free estimates, upfront pricing, and no hidden fees, you always know what to expect before you book.
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.

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.

| Illinois | $408.32 | $1,085.66 |

The guts showed up and worked hard the entire time with no complaints or issues. Moved over 50 boxes and about 15 pieces of furniture. I would definitely recommend this crew to anyone.
The men arrived exactly on time. They were very nice, introduced themselves, and were prepared to go to work. I was pleased with the manner that they did the move, taking care to not damage anything, and they were willing to go the extra mile to get everything done.
They were great they were there early they worked nonstop It was warm out I could not tell you enough great things of how they helped us move I would use them and recommend them to everyone I know reasonable and hard-working Thank you so much for helping us out ????????
Chris and Riley did a great job of unloading my container and handling my goods and furniture with the utmost care. I would recommend them without hesitation.
These movers were excellent!!! They showed up a few minutes early for the job. They were completely prepared and worked hard the whole time. They were extremely respectful of our property. It was snowing/raining out and they were so careful to take off their shoes when going onto carpeted areas. Very pleased!! Would definitely use again!!!
Chris & three other fellows was at the house before 9:00AM. They were very respectful & easy to work with. I will most definitely use them in the future if I need help.
Overall, the movers that came did a great job. However, I was scheduled to have my movers between 9-10. By 10:30 no one had shown up. Called and after some back and forth they got a hold of a new crew who arrived at 12:30. They kicked butt and my whole furniture move was knocked out in about 2 1/2 hours. Nice guys, too.
Excellent workers! Took their time and made sure our belongings were handled with care. They showed up on time and finished within the allotted time frame. Would definitely use again!
I would use Stan's Moving Assistance again. They were fast and only took the two hours that I booked them for. They were very polite and friendly. Definetly use them and recommend them over and over again.
Excellent experience. I will be using them again. The young men were very respectful and went right to work upon arriving. Their experience was very evident.
Three men arrived at my house to move furniture out of my house and into a PODS container in my driveway. They were efficient and hard working. They treated my belongings with care, ensuring that everything was loaded securely. I was very impressed with everything about the job they did. I highly recommend HIRE A HELPER for all your moving and loading needs.
They were wonderful. Went above and beyond to make the move easier. Worked hard, were pleasant and did everything we asked and more! Were very patient and worked quickly. 5 stars do not do them justice!

Why Book Your Peru Move with HireAHelper?
Frequently Asked Moving Questions in Peru
You've got moving questions — we’ve got answers. Learn what to expect when moving in Peru.
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 can’t 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 clicks—even 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. HireAHelper’s platform lets you compare rates for different movers, so you can be sure you’re getting a good deal. Found a better price for the same service? We’ll match it. That means you don’t pay extra to use HireAHelper—in fact, you may save money.
All Peru 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 SmartProtection™—an 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 mover’s 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 have—make 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 for 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.
