The Cost of Hiring Movers in Shirley, MA

On average, it costs $433.18 to hire moving helpers in Shirley, MA. Your actual price will depend on how long your move takes—but across Shirley, the typical hourly rate for moving labor is around $87.82.

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 Shirley, MA is $837.06, with an average hourly rate of $136.73. 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.

Peter, Christian and Jariel were amazing, arrived early and got everything done super quick. They were an amazing help and super nice guys, very easy to work with, and helped us wrap up our furniture! They were careful about our cat even though she constantly escaped and got in the way. Overall, highly recommend them, couldn’t have gone better.

Terrell and his team were absolutely amazing. Extremely fast and efficient, and handled all of my belongings with care . They also showed up as a team of 3 though I paid for 2 helpers, and were able to move even quicker due to this. It was very clear that they are experienced movers. I would definitely hire First Class Movers again- they lived up to the name!

Steve and his helpers did a great job. Very considerate of me and my possessions.They were friendly and professional. They did arrive late but had called an hour before they were due to explain they were held up at a job and asked if it was ok with me to shift their start time. I was so thankful to get my POD unloaded the same day it arrived!!! Thank you :-)

I hired two guys for two hours to more stuff between two houses next door to each other. I had a list that should have taken 2 days to finish. Greg and Alan arrived right on time and got to work. Two hours later the list was completed. Loyal Movers is a professional and hard working company. I will ask for them the next time. Thanks again.
