The Cost of Hiring Movers in Shelby, NC

On average, it costs $370.14 to hire moving helpers in Shelby, NC. Your actual price will depend on how long your move takes—but across Shelby, the typical hourly rate for moving labor is around $87.01.

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 Shelby, NC is $825.14, with an average hourly rate of $119.32. 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.

Rise above moving company was fantastic. They were prompt, very prepared for all of the items that needed to be moved, worked the entire time with high urgency, and were extremely careful with all of the items that were moved. I highly recommend them for anyone that has an upcoming move and if given the opportunity would hire them again!

Since we are an older couple, we needed help loading all our heavy furniture. Done Right Moving did a great job! The two young men (Eli and Justin) worked very hard, were polite and were very protective and careful with our furniture. I would hire them again, if needed.

Super efficient and careful. Came at the last minute request of ours and got the job done in 2 hours (I was told a 3 hour minimum due to last minute but, ok, it was worth it). Definitely recommend the company

They were great to work with. Very friendly and helpful. I'm a few states away from where they were loading the POD and it was nice to work with such professional people. Would definitely hire again if I were moving more furniture from SC.

I told them I’d like my arcade unit upstairs, but that it would be a tight fit and that it needed to probably need to stay downstairs. Most movers would take the out and leave it in the easier location. But these movers made it work. Friendly and hard working would fully recommend.
