Moving Help in Queens, NY
Choose the type of moving help that fits your Queens move, from loading and unloading to packing or unpacking. You arrange the transportation, and an independent company provides the crew.
The five types of moving help you can book in Queens
Each one is hourly, labor-only work performed by an independent moving company. Pick the description that matches your day and open that service page to see the companies offering it.
Loading help in Queens
This is loading-only labor: the crew works at your Queens pickup address, loads the vehicle you provide, and finishes when the load is tied off. You keep the keys and drive it yourself — whether that's ten minutes across town or a two-day haul out of state.
Unloading help in Queens
This is unloading-only labor at the delivery end. You arrive with the truck, trailer, or container; the crew unloads it, places furniture where you point, and can stack boxes by room so unpacking isn't a scavenger hunt. Many people in Queens book unloading alone after loading themselves at the other end.
Loading and unloading in Queens
Because the same crew handles both addresses, they already know how the truck was packed and what needs to come off first. Billing is continuous hourly time, which usually includes their drive between your two Queens addresses — ask the company how it counts travel time before you book.
Packing help in Queens
Packing is booked as its own hourly service, usually a day or two before the move. Materials are handled differently by each company — some bring boxes and paper and bill for them, others pack the supplies you have already bought. Confirm which before the crew arrives.
Unpacking help in Queens
Unpacking is booked separately from unloading, and it's the one service where you should plan to be involved: the crew moves fast, but only you know where things belong. Debris removal varies — some companies stack and flatten cartons, some haul them off. Confirm it before booking.

Moving labor cost in Queens
For moving help in Queens, starting hourly crew rates among 3 currently bookable companies with coverage reaching this city range from $120 to $175. These are provider labor rates, not a quote or an area-wide average.
Rates are set by independent moving companies and can change. Hire Moving Labor’s Service Processing Fee and applicable extras are separate from the hourly labor rate. How moving labor costs work →
Loading, unloading, or both
Loading help fits when the vehicle is at the Queens address and someone covers the other end. Unloading help fits when you arrive loaded with nobody waiting. Combined fits when one crew can reasonably do both in a day.
A move that never leaves the building — floor to floor in a two-family house, or shuffling rooms around during a renovation — is still hourly labor and belongs on the moving labor page.
How this marketplace works
We're a marketplace, not a moving company ourselves. Put in your address and date, browse the independent companies whose coverage reaches you, and send a request to whichever you choose. That business, separate from us, actually shows up and does the work.
Submitting the request authorizes your card, but the charge isn't captured until a company accepts. The full estimate, Service Processing Fee included, appears before you send it.
You bring the truck or container
The vehicle side is on you — a rental truck, a trailer, or a container dropped at the property, driveway, or curb. Leaving that piece to you is exactly what keeps hourly labor priced below a full-service move.
We don't rent, deliver, drive, or pick up any equipment ourselves, and we have no affiliation with any rental or container brand.
What drives the hours in Queens
It mostly comes down to the building and how you get in and out of it. A house with a driveway usually means a fast carry; an apartment building with shared stairs or an elevator you have to schedule adds time to every single trip.
Be upfront about your building and access when you send the request — getting the crew size right from the start is the cheapest call you'll make all day.
Comparing companies fairly
Every independent company lists its own hourly rate, crew sizes, and minimum hours. Look at the likely total cost rather than just the per-hour number — on a job with lots of stairs or a scheduled elevator, a bigger crew charging more per hour can still finish for less overall.
The movers directory lets you look through each business's full listed services before you decide.
