Labor-Only vs. The Traditional Move
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 movers to load or unload your stuff.
While labor-only requires a bit more work on your end to coordinate all the details, it’s considerably more affordable.

The Cost of Labor-Only vs. Local-Full Service

The two guys that helped us move were outstanding! They showed up on time and did a great job of communicating before arriving so that we knew when they would arrive. They were very professional and efficient and did a great job of packing the boxes, furnishing, and furniture in our crawl space. I would recommend them to friends and use them again if we need movers.
Jason, Trey and Lorenzo showed up early and did such a great job!!! They were polite, hard-working and efficient!! I highly recommend hiring them!!! PD
They were very hard workers. Kind, courteous and listened to our request when we had one. They were gentle with our furniture and really seemed to care. We would definitely use them again.
I am very appreciative of the hard work that the three young men did moving my furniture into my home. They worked diligently and efficiently having to take their shoes off each time going in and out. They were respectful of my property and carefulI i would definitely recommend them thank you so much for the service.
Emmanuel and Santo were perfect! Timely, communicated well before, worked hard and very polite, were fine with some direction on a few items. They stayed focused and didn’t waste ahh time. A real pleasure to work with thank you!
Really helpful and friendly crew! Could not have done this without them! Very efficient loading of the U-Haul truck. Not a thing moved or was broken in the 200 mile journey! Thanks!

On time, Respectful and the job was done in within the time frame scheduled. I will definitely recommend them. I will definitely use them again. 5 stars ??????????
Very good experience with this moving company. They were on time, pleasant, except at the job last minute, worked hard and got the job done. Couldn’t have asked for more. What time?
The team was punctual, polite, and they absolutely knew what they were doing. I needed help with bigger items that I could not manage on my own. They loaded the storage pod in a way that I could go back fill in spaces with the smaller boxes and the rest of my packing ensuring the weight would be distributed evenly. Highly recommend.
Their timing was perfect, they really threw themselves into it and worked so efficiently that we were all satisfied to have plenty of time to do it right. Really have no intent to move LD again, but I would use them if I needed to
Everyone involved was awesome!!! Very professional, very polite. No issues whatsoever….. I would absolutely recommend these guys. I will be using them again to unload moving pods.

Why Book Your Ocean City Move with HireAHelper?
Frequently Asked Moving Questions in Ocean City
You've got moving questions — we’ve got answers. Learn what to expect when moving in Ocean City.
The short answer is that booking with HireAHelper saves you hours of work, helps you get the best price and value, and protects you and your belongings. Here are some of the key ways HireAHelper makes booking movers better:
- Vetted Movers You Can Trust: Every mover on our platform is vetted, background-checked, and held to our high standards. And if anything goes wrong, we act as your advocate to find a resolution with your mover. If we can’t find a resolution, our $1,000 Service Guarantee will cover you and your items.
- Book in Minutes, Not Hours: Contacting multiple local movers, comparing quotes, determining their availability, and researching their reputation can take hours of work. On the other hand, HireAHelper lets you easily compare the reputation of movers, instantly determine availability, see transparent pricing for each, and book online in just a few clicks—even same-day in many areas.
- Dedicated Customer Support: Last minute questions are normal, and our experienced and friendly team is here 7 days a week to help with anything before, during, or after your move.
- Smart, Affordable Protection Options: HireAHelper offers an easy and affordable way to protect your items during a labor-only move. Our optional SmartProtection covers up to $10,000 worth of belongings, and the lowest tier ($2,500) is only $19.
- Best Price Guarantee: All these benefits must come at a higher price, right? Wrong. HireAHelper’s platform lets you compare rates for different movers, so you can be sure you’re getting a good deal. Found a better price for the same service? We’ll match it. That means you don’t pay extra to use HireAHelper—in fact, you may save money.
All Ocean City movers listed on HireAHelper are required to provide standard repair coverage, which reimburses $0.60 per pound for damaged items. Some states may have different rules, and full-value protection is only required by the federal government for moves that cross state lines.
One of the advantages of booking with HireAHelper is that every move includes our $1,000 Service Guarantee. Plus, you can upgrade your protection by adding SmartProtection™—an optional coverage for labor-only moves that offers up to $10,000 in damage coverage, with multiple tiers to choose from.
Yes, professional movers will typically disassemble and reassemble furniture as part of the moving process. However, there are certain items that movers may not be able to disassemble. Learn more about how furniture disassembly and reassembly works when you hire movers.
One set of stairs is always included in your mover’s rate when you book through HireAHelper, but additional sets of stairs may cost more. The best way to get an accurate estimate is to get a quote and indicate the number of sets of stairs that you have—make sure to include stairs leading to a basement if you will have any items that need to be moved into or out of it. Read more about when movers charge for extra for stairs.
You should start packing at least three to four weeks before your move, but the sooner the better. If you need to downsize or organize, we recommend starting that process 6-8 weeks before your move when at all possible.
Need to move in a hurry or don’t have time to pack? HireAHelper makes it easy to add professional packing as an add-on to your move. When available, you can get packing help for just several rooms or your whole home.
