The Cost of Hiring Movers in Shawnee, KS

On average, it costs $480.84 to hire moving helpers in Shawnee, KS. Your actual price will depend on how long your move takes—but across Shawnee, the typical hourly rate for moving labor is around $77.99.

These average costs reflect “labor-only” moves—where you hire movers to load or unload your rental truck, shipping container (like a PODS container), or storage unit. It’s one of the most cost-effective ways to move and is often far more affordable than hiring a full-service moving company—more on that below.

The Cost of Full-Service Moving

The average cost of a local full-service move in Shawnee, KS is $741.93, with an average hourly rate of $122.26. Full-service moves do cost more, but they come with serious convenience—you won’t need to rent a truck, drive it, or coordinate a shipping container.

Prefer the all-in-one, hands-off experience? Full-service might be your move. Here’s how it compares to labor-only options.

Westin and his crew did an excellent job. They were patient and understanding and didn't complain about our home or items to be moved. They handled the job professionally and quickly. Would definitely recommend their company to others when you just need the "muscle" to move.
