The Cost of Hiring Movers in Winthrop Harbor, IL

On average, it costs $347.39 to hire moving helpers in Winthrop Harbor, IL. Your actual price will depend on how long your move takes—but across Winthrop Harbor, the typical hourly rate for moving labor is around $76.97.

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 Winthrop Harbor, IL is $946.79, with an average hourly rate of $125.62. 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.

They did a fabulous job unloading a 12 foot moving truck to a one bedroom apartment on. 93 degree day. They treated everything with care and helped set things up in the appropriate places in the apartment. Will definitely hire them next time I need movers.

The two people who came to help me move were extremely professional, efficient and hardworking. All my items were moved without a scratch, and that too for a fraction of the cost in the market! Would 10/10 use them again.

We were completely blown away by how fast and tight Rickie, D, and Akeem (apologies if spelling is off!!) packed our 16ft ABF trailer!! Took only two hours! They were also super sweet and courteous, working around stuff we have to save for a separate truck. Wish we could take them out to New Mexico to unload for us!! Thanks you guys!!
