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.
| Full-Service Moving | Labor-Only Moving | |
|---|---|---|
| Price | $$$ | $ |
| Moving Truck | Included | You Provide |
| Loading Help | ✅ | ✅ |
| Unloading Help | ✅ | ✅ |
| Packing | Add-on | Add-on |
The Cost of Moving in Shorewood, IL
In Shorewood labor-only moving help typically costs between $327.20 and $634.33.
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 $76.46 an hour.

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.
| Labor-Only | Local-Full Service | |
|---|---|---|
| Shorewood, IL | $399.56 | $1,126.40 |
| Illinois | $408.32 | $1,085.66 |
| The United States | $451.87 | $1,167.76 |
Labor-Only Moving Costs by Move Size
As mentioned above, it costs $399.56 on average to hire moving helpers (labor-only) in Shorewood, IL, with an average hourly rate of $76.46. Your final price will depend on how long your move takes.

They were very flexible and understanding with the schedule, prompt, with amazing communication before getting there so we knew when to expect them. They were very polite and professional gentlemen and I would hire them again in a heartbeat!
The moving team was incredible - they were on time, did everything that was asked of them, and went above and beyond when taking care of my things. They packed the truck with expert precision and were very careful when loading and unloading. They were friendly and professional the whole time - they kept smiles on their faces. I cannot recommend them enough!!!
Victor and Josh were amazing. They were friendly, worked super fast, and packed everything in our container for us extremely efficiently. I can’t recommend them enough.
They were absolutely fantastic! Kept us informed regarding arrival, we’re extremely polite and incredibly efficient. They had our home loaded in under an hour. Only issue was some confusion around our order regarding number of staff and number or hours. Took a little effort but was resolved
They were on time and worked non stop until the job was completed. They asked where every item should be placed and even helped me carry boxes / tubs to out unattached garage when the move was complete.
Kind, careful, efficient - I couldn’t recommend Victor and his team more. They unloaded my 16 ft pod in under an hour at the end of a very long day and they were so friendly and positive the whole time. Moving is so stressful and I was really grateful to have such awesome guys helping us out.
Everything was great! They were on time, efficient, and very thorough. We moved on a very hot day and despite the heat they handled my belongings with care. They were prepared and had the appropriate equipment (Dollies, tape, furniture wrap, etc tv) to make my move smooth and easy. I would recommend!
This was such an excellent experience. J and Richard were absolute all-stars. They were punctual and prepared. Worked extremely hard without taking breaks, insanely good at packing things in as efficient as possible while still keeping things safe from breaking. Would 100% recommend them!
very good experience with s&l. the crew was on time, well prepared and extremely careful. i was especially impressed with the care and expertise with which our two pods were packed. items were loaded in a thoughtful manner such that the space was efficiently used and all items were secure from shifting. i would not hesitate to recommend this company. very professional.
Kendrick, J, and Richard were incredible. Not only were they bustin their butts the entire time, they were incredibly kind and respectful of our space. I would gladly recommend them to anyone we know!
They were perfectly on time, showed up ready to work and cranked through the job so quickly while being extremely pleasant and professional. We paid for 2 movers and they showed up with 3, at no extra charge which really helped a lot. Would highly recommend them!
These people are amazing. I'm over myself and I needed some help in Chicago. Kenny and Dilon are machines!!! These guys know how to pack and move it. Shamaia , help me from start to finish. She knows how to get the job done. Thank you all so much. Everything made it to New Hampshire perfect shape
HireAHelper's Moving Guide for Shorewood
Why Book Your Shorewood Move with HireAHelper?
Frequently Asked Moving Questions in Shorewood
You've got moving questions — we’ve got answers. Learn what to expect when moving in Shorewood.
The short answer is that booking with HireAHelper saves you hours of work, helps you get the best price and value, and protects you and your belongings. Here are some of the key ways HireAHelper makes booking movers better:
- Vetted Movers You Can Trust: Every mover on our platform is vetted, background-checked, and held to our high standards. And if anything goes wrong, we act as your advocate to find a resolution with your mover. If we can’t find a resolution, our $1,000 Service Guarantee will cover you and your items.
- Book in Minutes, Not Hours: Contacting multiple local movers, comparing quotes, determining their availability, and researching their reputation can take hours of work. On the other hand, HireAHelper lets you easily compare the reputation of movers, instantly determine availability, see transparent pricing for each, and book online in just a few clicks—even same-day in many areas.
- Dedicated Customer Support: Last minute questions are normal, and our experienced and friendly team is here 7 days a week to help with anything before, during, or after your move.
- Smart, Affordable Protection Options: HireAHelper offers an easy and affordable way to protect your items during a labor-only move. Our optional SmartProtection covers up to $10,000 worth of belongings, and the lowest tier ($2,500) is only $19.
- Best Price Guarantee: All these benefits must come at a higher price, right? Wrong. HireAHelper’s platform lets you compare rates for different movers, so you can be sure you’re getting a good deal. Found a better price for the same service? We’ll match it. That means you don’t pay extra to use HireAHelper—in fact, you may save money.
While some Shorewood movers may offer basic moving coverage, the federal government only mandates insurance for movers that start and end in different states. HireAHelper is committed to protecting your move by offering automatic repair protection ($.60/lb), a $1,000 damage protection guarantee, and SmartProtection™, which is our optional coverage for labor-only moves with three tiers between $2,500 and $10,000.
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 mover’s 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 have—make 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 for 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.
