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.

| Moving Truck | Included | You Provide |

| Unloading Help | â | â |

205 Santa Cruz Mover Reviews
On average, movers on HireAHelper earn 4.8 stars out of 5.0 after 335,505 verified customer reviews
Knowledgeable, experienced and extremely dependable. Highly recommended for mov and placing valuable items. Some of my heavy furniture required careful assembly, which went without a hitch.
They arrived on schedule, communicated well and worked the entire time in spite of rain. They were courteous and really cared about their work. I would certainly hire them again.
We called them with only a day or two notice and they were available. They showed up early and worked hard the entire time. They were prepared for the job and we would use them again. I would recommend them.
The two guys, Nick & Chris were very nice and personable. They worked non stop. My major complaint is that they were over booked and In a hurry to get to the next job. I had to help them, which is not what I paid for. So as a result, the majority of the boxes had to be pushed to the garage. They did help me attach a mirror to my dresser.
Mover were on time. did an adequate job. My issue is with the billing. The movers were here for a total of just under 2 hrs 20 minutes and I got charge for the 2 FULL additional hours. My previous experience with HireAHelper was that I was only charged for the additional time used above the initial hours. In this case it would be 20 minutes John Flynn
Friendly, polite, extremely efficient. They arrived early and made great use of the space in our pods. I would hire them again in the future if we weren’t moving out of state.
The two people that came and unloaded our POD were helpful, cheerful, and very efficient. They got the job done in two hours instead of four. They were careful with our things and assembled our bed and dining table. They made our move easy. I would recommend this company for moving labor help. So considerate and helpful.
We were very pleased with the pod unloading service we received while moving into our new 2 level work live space. Both men worked well together and moved furniture quickly and carefully. They went above and beyond our expectations and assembled our bed frame and 2 ikea closets. We would be happy to have both Eric and George back in the future and highly recommend your service.
Hard working, respectful of property and neighbors. Real professionals who know what they are doing. Easy to work with, too. Recommend without reservation!!!
They showed up in time they were respectful to our situation in our new home. They worked hard and got the job done I would definitely recommend using them again.
They called me the day before and confirmed the time of 9 AM. They were there right on time. They went right to work and did a very good job at loading. Nothing moved during the drive to the new house and everything was in good shape. Nothing broken or damaged by them. I was very pleased with them.
The company was responsive by phone before the moving date, they kept me informed on when they would arrive, the crew worked fast and professionally, and were friendly and very competent. They made good time, saving me money. I would highly recommend them and use them in the future when needed.
