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. 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 less expensive.

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 Upper Darby, PA

In Upper Darby labor-only moving help typically costs between $325.58 and $687.19. 

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 $87.01 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.

James from Adelphia Moving was awesome. He handled my things with care and didn’t want me to lift a finger. He and his fellow mover Brian really worked hard. They respected my time and my things. I wouldn’t hesitate to hire them again.

We ordered a big pod for our Florida move. I would highly recommend this moving company and the 3 men that did our job. Ontime and respectful. We were nervous that everything was going to fit in the pod. But they kept assuring us it would.. we are magicians ?? and everything did! Thank you!

Highly, highly recommend H&M Movers. We'll be calling them for our next move. They were personable, friendly and FAST! We hired them to help unload our POD container. We were unable to open the POD because items had shifted and were blocking the door. They didn't hesitate to step in and do what was needed to get it open. Once it was open they sprang to action and unloaded it in no time.

They did it again! Karim and Hanif unpacked all my stuff and put it where I wanted it. I was totally expecting them to just unpack and put it wherever. They unloaded everything in the rooms I wanted the boxes and furniture in. They even helped me move my refrigerator to maximize the kitchen space! Hire them! You won't regret it!
