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. 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 less expensive.

Prefer hands-off? If you’d rather skip the driving and prioritize convenience, you can book a vetted full-service moving company right through HireAHelper.

The Cost of Moving in San Ysidro, CA

In San Ysidro labor-only moving help typically costs between $342.00 and $989.00. 

If you’re tackling a smaller job, like unloading a PODS-style container, moving into a storage unit, or just need help with the heavy lifting, you can hire hourly moving labor for around $89.92 an hour.

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.

They did great helping me unpack my POD. The company I used to pack up my POD hadn't used any plastic wrap on my furniture and JFK made sure to wrap my things before carefully bringing them up the stairs into my apartment. I appreciate the time and care they took. They were also very responsive prior to the job. Thank you JFK!

The team arrived on time and took care of unloading 17ft of cargo into my house, and did so politely and in a shorter amount of time than initially estimated. They even helped carry an extremely heavy king size mattress upstairs to my second floor, which I greatly appreciated. I highly recommend this team and their services.

Dimitri and his partner were fantastic. So careful and thorough and they worked very hard. I’m amazed at the care they took wrapping every piece of furniture and maximizing the storage pod space. I hope I can book them for my unloading on the other end!

The movers communicated well—called the day before, the day of, and 30 minutes prior to arrival. They were courteous and completed the job without any issues. My only suggestion is to provide a way to call them back—there was no caller ID or contact number in case I needed to reach them. Otherwise, great experience.

I had a great experience with Tony and Ace. They were very communicative and on time. They worked very efficiently and were done before the two hours. They put everything where I asked them to with zero damage. The best part of all was their great attitude! Definitely would recommend this moving company and would use again.
