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.

Prefer hands-off? If you’d rather skip the driving and prioritize convenience, you can book a vetted full-service moving company right through HireAHelper.

The Cost of Moving in Tumwater, WA

In Tumwater labor-only moving help typically costs between $340.81 and $775.75. 

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 $92.32 an hour.

HireAHelper’s Best Price Guarantee


Find a lower price for the same move? We’ll match it—because making your move easier and more affordable in Tumwater is what we’re here for.

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.

I cannot say enough how much I appreciate working with Come On I Wanna Move Ya. They worked really hard and were very careful and considerate of our belonging. I highly recommend them to anyone. I recommend labeling rooms ahead, which I did, and being present to save you and this crew from any miscommunications. They listen great and asked questions if I was unclear in any way.

Angela and her team arrived on time and with more than enough equipment and workers to rapidly move me out of my house. Extremely easy to work with and respectful of our furniture and personal items. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone moving in and around the Seattle/Tacoma area.

Both movers are courteous and professional. They were on time (actually early). There were more stuff to move around than they expected. But they handled the task well. We will definitely use them again when needed.
