FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How Laborhutt prices your move

Two things drive your price: the distance between pickup and drop-off and the items you're moving (each priced by its size class and quantity). Longer trips and larger items cost more, a small service buffer is added, and every job has an order minimum. The same formula is applied to every customer — no mover sets or marks up the number.

Small covers small items and accessories like microwaves, parts, and fixtures — or household pieces like chairs and nightstands. Medium is standard appliances (dishwasher, range, washer, dryer, cooktop) and pieces like dressers and desks. Large is big appliances such as refrigerators and wall ovens (anything greater than 30"), plus sofas, bed frames, and mattress sets. XL is a pro appliance that requires install or anything greater than 42" — sectionals, pianos, commercial fridges, and industrial equipment. Use the size guide on this page to classify each item.

No. This tool gives you a realistic estimate so you can see what a move actually costs before you commit. Your final price is computed and locked in when you post the job — and because it's set before any mover sees it, movers claim your job at that price and can't inflate it.
