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.

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 Shelby, IA

In Shelby labor-only moving help typically costs between $469.21 and $894.62. 

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 $88.26 an hour.

HireAHelper’s Best Price Guarantee


Find a lower price for the same move? We’ll match it—because making your move easier and more affordable in Shelby is what we’re here for.

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.

Very quick job. My reservation was for two movers for two hours. They arrived early (texting me beforehand, as they had finished their prior job ahead of schedule) and had my 1BR apartment empty in 45 minutes.

Our helpers, Anthony and D'Shawn arrived exactly at the appointed time. They took a few moments to assess and to listen to our plans, and then launched into action. They were personable, experienced, made great suggestions and good decisions, were respectful of our property, and worked quickly and efficiently. Our move came in under the allotted time. Couldn't have asked for a better crew!

The two workers showed up on time, introduced themselves and were courteous and enthusiastic. They were completely prepared for the job and worked hard in extremely cold weather (9 degrees). They efficiently loaded my property and took care to pad items to minimize problems. I plan to use them again when I unload the POD in about 6 months.

These two guys moved st the speed of light! I hired them for 3 hours and they were done in just over 2. They emptied and transported and unloaded a storage locker; moved furniture, put together a 100 year old, non standard sized bed, and several other jobs. We were very pleased with both of them.

The crew showed up on time, were extremely helpful in moving my goods in a local move, and did a great job in getting a recalcitrant antique china cabinet up a narrow staircase. I would use them again, and have no hesitation in recommending them to others.

The guys did an excellent job and made use of the space very well and were very efficient. They were very careful with carrying items. They were professional and I would certainly recommend them to anyone. They even apologized for being a couple minutes late, which was not a big deal to us at all. You will not be disappointed with their services!

They were early and worked incredibly hard! The workers were very respectful and a pleasure to work with. They were super-fast - much faster than I'd anticipated the move going! I cannot recommend their work highly enough. The only small quibble is that I had trouble getting a confirmation that they would do the job, but they were absolutely top-notch once they were on the job.
