The Cost of Hiring Movers in Townsend, MA

On average, it costs $513.24 to hire moving helpers in Townsend, MA. Your actual price will depend on how long your move takes—but across Townsend, 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 Townsend, 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.
