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.

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.

Contracted 4 men for 2 hours to load an 8ft Pack Rat cube. The move was from the third floor that had 2 flights of steep, narrow stairs. The crew showed up on time and went to work immediately. These guys know how to pack a cube! Never thought they'd fit it all in. Not only did they fit everything in, but there was also space left for more! They finished in the allotted time. I highly recommend them and will use them again if the need ever arises. Well done and "Thanks!" for making this an easy and smooth process.

These guys are top-notch! I booked them on short notice, and for a very difficult job. (I don't recommend doing what I did--it was kinda nuts), but they came through and got the move done anyway. They were friendly, respectful, and helpful. If I had to do another move in the same area, I'd 100% call them again!

A Plus Moving LLC
they were on-time and communicated with me as requested, prior to arrival. They worked quickly. Their packing strategy was very efficient but could improve. My only complaint was that they placed the bed frame on top of a couch with only a blanket to separate them. In event of a rough bump, or jumping a curb (happened twice in the trip) the suddent jolt could have torn the covering on that couch, which was very expensive. It was all for the best. No harm done, but I would recommend any metal pieces or parts be only loaded on the bed of the cargo area. They did not load things to the ceiling in the very back. They finished with all item in a tight pack to the door. They might have left me more room for the incidentals that were not yet boxed. I had to re-organize a furniture item to give myself about 15 square feet more space before closing the door. I say four of five stars. All went very well and they made sure I kept my timetable, the most important thing. A little more attention is needed to the packing strategy, but not much. Just be aware that a mover is not 100% packed and needs a little more room to finish the job himself.

Ryan and the two other guys were really great. They were professional and had genuine concern for my property. They were on time and did such a great job they finished earlier than the time I paid for . I was grateful knowing that some movers take longer and work slower to add extra time. I would highly recommend Ryan and definitely hire him again .

Hello, We had Danny and Gideon as our movers. They were fantastic! They came early as a terrible rain storm was coming. They worked non stop under very HOT and HUMID conditions. They were able to carefully get very heavy and large items out with no damage to the furniture or walls. They were friendly, polite and hard working. We would absolutely use them again!

Really strong guys and they did a great job with putting together a small child's playhouse as well as a convertible crib to a full size bed. They were also really patient with having my daughter run around while they were working. I noticed how careful they were to think about where to place things in my apartment so that nothing was harmed while being unloaded from the truck. I would definitely hire these two guys again in a heartbeat.

The two that came and helped were on-time and sent me a text message a couple hours before making sure I knew when to expect them. They worked hard, were ready to do what I needed help with, and were careful with my things and the home. I would recommend them to anyone in the area that needs some help with packing or unpacking for a move. Note that I only had them put items into the shipping containers that I'm using and not having items packed into boxes.

Real Advice from West Haven Movers

We asked local movers about what you should know about moving in West Haven. (They’re really nice!)

Parking a truck or storage container may require a permit depending on where in Boston you are moving to/from. Most other towns in Massachusetts do not require these permits. It is always best to check your local municipality's instructions before the day of your move, as laws and rules may change!

Anyone that needs a PODS or a moving truck for loading/unloading it is recommended that you contact the city for NO PARKING signs for the moving dates. Usually they require 48 hours in advance. If driving a commercial vehicle please avoid Parkways around NJ and watch for any low bridges or streets where there are restrictions.

The best place to get a U-Haul storage unit or to rent a truck in the Albany, NY is 2045 Central Ave. 12205. The people there are helpful, personable, and will go out of there way to make sure you have everything you need.
