| Labor-Only | Local-Full Service | |
|---|---|---|
| Shelton, WA | $461.51 | $1,238.84 |

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, itâs considerably more affordable.

Hello, The packing job went very, very, well! Chase was my correspondence and along with his associate Marcus they packed all of my belongings that they could. The photos showed a very neatly organized and stacked pod. I appreciate their ti.e and expertise. Thank you.
I will definitely use Armstrong again if I need help with moving! They were very professional, quick, and great to work with! Communication was top notch as well! Thank you again!
Jordan, Samuel and Tommy were great, they pack the POD with care paying attention to ensure my belongings were handled with care and there was no damage to the interior of the house. I would highly recommend them to anyone needing assistance load their POD. There work was well beyond what I expected.
Great group of guys—nice, friendly, careful, always double checking where everything needed to go and things were set up right…also really quick, totally recommended—

All Shelton movers listed on HireAHelper are required to provide standard repair coverage, which reimburses $0.60 per pound for damaged items. Some states may have different rules, and full-value protection is only required by the federal government for moves that cross state lines.
One of the advantages of booking with HireAHelper is that every move includes our $1,000 Service Guarantee. Plus, you can upgrade your protection by adding SmartProtectionâ˘âan optional coverage for labor-only moves that offers up to $10,000 in damage coverage, with multiple tiers to choose from.
Yes, professional movers will typically disassemble and reassemble furniture as part of the moving process. However, there are certain items that movers may not be able to disassemble. Learn more about how furniture disassembly and reassembly works when you hire movers.
One set of stairs is always included in your moverâs rate when you book through HireAHelper, but additional sets of stairs may cost more. The best way to get an accurate estimate is to get a quote and indicate the number of sets of stairs that you haveâmake sure to include stairs leading to a basement if you will have any items that need to be moved into or out of it. Read more about when movers charge extra for stairs.
You should start packing at least three to four weeks before your move, but the sooner the better. If you need to downsize or organize, we recommend starting that process 6-8 weeks before your move when at all possible.
Need to move in a hurry or don’t have time to pack? HireAHelper makes it easy to add professional packing as an add-on to your move. When available, you can get packing help for just several rooms or your whole home.
