Each price is the total the customer paid for a completed move, including Laborhutt's service fee. A move counts when it includes a couch, other furniture, or an item you'd book as Large or XL or heavy, like an appliance or a mattress. Boxes-only moves and small errands aren't included. Every move started in New York; some ended outside it. Distances are measured in a straight line between pickup and delivery.
The sample is small. It doesn't break prices down by item size, floor, or moving date, so it can't show how much a stair carry or a sectional changes your price.
Couch moving cost questions
Is $154.40 what I will pay?
Not necessarily. $154.40 is the average price of completed couch, furniture, and large-item moves in New York. Your price depends on your couch, both addresses, stairs or elevator access, and your date. You see your price before you pay.
How much extra do stairs or a sectional cost?
Our New York sample is too small to price stairs or sectionals on their own. Add them when you request a price so they're included up front.
Is renting a truck cheaper?
A rental covers the vehicle only. You still pay for mileage, fuel, and equipment, and you need people to carry the couch. Compare the same route and the same work.
Do I see my price before paying?
Yes. You see the price for your move before you book and pay.
