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. For more on the difference between labor-only and local full-service moves, read below.

Labor-Only Moving Costs by Move Size

As mentioned above, it costs $459.35 on average to hire moving helpers (labor-only) in South Haven, MN, with an average hourly rate of $79.55. Your final price will depend on how long your move takes.

To get a better sense of what your move might cost, you can see the average cost for different-sized moves in the table below. Learn more about HireAHelper's methodology for calculating average costs based on proprietary data from over 1 million moves.

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, it’s considerably more affordable.

The two young men worked very hard. They unloaded a storage container and a moving truck in two hours and then moved things around for the third hour. I would hire these two for any job.

Wow! We definitely recommend 5-Star Movers. We ended up booking them at the last minute, and they did not disappoint. (We thought we could do it on our own ha!) Both gentlemen were right on time and stuck with us when we needed that extra hour. They were respectful of our property and worked hard through the heat and humidity. Thanks guys, for helping us through a tough time!

The two men were so nice and did such a great job despite the heat advisory and severe thunderstorm we had during the move. Would highly recommend them to anyone! They also did a great job fitting everything into a 16 foot truck when I had originally reserved a 26 foot truck but one was not available at the last minute.

Taylor, Dustin, Bryce, and Conner were on time, ready to help us unload a pod for two different households. Into one apartment and into another moving truck to bring to another building in the same complex. They set up the beds, the large furniture exactly where we wanted them placed. Very professional hard working team of men! I would highly recommend 5 star movers!

The team from 5 Star Movers arrived on time and was ready to work. What I especially appreciated is that they looked over everything that needed to be packed because we had stuff in the basement and main floor as well as the garage. They asked questions and then made a plan, and when they were done our stuff was packed and the container was full - no wasted space!

I was informed ahead of time that my workers were running late so that did not bother me. The two young men assigned to me for the job were prepared and worked hard. They got to work as soon as they arrived for the job. They were very respectful toward me and also of my property. I would hire them again.

This move was not a desired one, and many things went wrong with it...except for the gentlemen from HireAHelper that helped us move. From the moment the got to the house they worked every bit as hard as my husband and our friend. Stopped long enough to eat and was right back to work even before we were. I would most definitely hire them again, and I would tell friends about your facility as well.

Frequently Asked Moving Questions in South Haven

You've got moving questions, we’ve got answers. Learn what to expect when moving in South Haven.

 

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.

All South Haven 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 SmartProtection™—an 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 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 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.
