|---|---|---|
| Richmond, IN | $451.31 | $1,268.90 |

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.

Highly recommend these young men! They were fast and careful with my items. They were able to completely emptied two 12ft pods in two hours! I was blown away! I would definitely use them again in the future if needed.
The guys are great. Very friendly & very hard working. They moved me a year ago and I had them move me again because I knew I was getting someone reliable. They arrived exactly at the time decided upon and even called when they were close.
This is the best group of movers you’ll ever use! Hardworking, fast, and very careful with your possessions. They went above & beyond for us and I wouldn’t hesitate to hire them again!
Universal Movers were sent to help us load our POD at the last minute ( after the original scheduled movers did not show). They did a wonderful job of loading. They worked quickly and were able to load the 16' Pod in the two hour window. Our unpackers on the other end (in Texas) said what a good job the packers had done! Would definitely use Harold and Nick again!
The guys arrived ready to work. They completed the job very quickly, I wish I could have had the same guys offload @ my new home. I would definitely use them again.
Robert and his helper, Josh, were wonderful! They had to be called last minute and were right on time, worked really hard, and went above and beyond with the problems we had with appliances fitting through doorways! I would definitely have them again--if we ever move that is!
Great crew. They stepped up after my original helpers failed to show. Took a second job on the day to help me out. On time. Wrapped my furniture. Very clean. Took Very good care of my property. Packed the PODS full. Definitely recommend.
They were polite and on time. They did an excellent job. I am amazed at The work that they did. They were so hard and we’re so careful with my things. They made sure everything was done and that I was satisfied before they left. I highly recommend them. Five stars. Thank you guys again!
Showed up when they said they would, prepared to get things done. They worked very hard to get everything moved carefully from A to Z, showed absolute respect for my property and belongings. Not only would I use them again but also recommended them to my family and friends.
Very professional. On time and well prepared. Surveyed what was to be done and loaded into the u-pack relo-cubes. Took extra care to insure all furniture was properly covered and wrapped. Constantly worked hard. Very polite and respectful. Would definitely use again. Thank you Christian Moving Services.
They arrived on time and was very friendly. Did a great job packing the u-haul and was very careful in moving furniture. The only thing was they did not have a dolly with them but besides that did a great job. Would recommend them again.
We hired two movers to help us move from our third floor apartment. They not only showed up early but also were able to load an entire 2 bedroom apartment in a little over an hour. They even went above and beyond to try to protect our furniture from injury during the move. Only wish they were a nationwide company so we could hire them next time we have to move.
