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. 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 less expensive.

Prefer hands-off? If you’d rather skip the driving and prioritize convenience, you can book a vetted full-service moving company right through HireAHelper.

The Cost of Moving in Wilmington, DE

In Wilmington labor-only moving help typically costs between $295.54 and $1,008.00. 

If you’re tackling a smaller job, like unloading a PODS-style container, moving into a storage unit, or just need help with the heavy lifting, you can hire hourly moving labor for around $80.40 an hour.

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

Even after factoring in the cost of a rental truck, gas, and supplies, labor-only moving usually costs less than half of what you’d pay for local full-service. Full-service is definitely more convenient—but that convenience comes at a price.

Karim and Rod we tremendous! Moved from a storage unit to a house. Very professional, great conversation and got the job done no matter what curveball we threw at them. I would highly recommend. We enjoyed them so much, we booked them for the following day to move items from a townhome to our house. That review to follow.

Highly, highly recommend H&M Movers. We'll be calling them for our next move. They were personable, friendly and FAST! We hired them to help unload our POD container. We were unable to open the POD because items had shifted and were blocking the door. They didn't hesitate to step in and do what was needed to get it open. Once it was open they sprang to action and unloaded it in no time.

I’m unbelievably impressed by the work ethic, professionalism, and discipline of this Team. What’s more, they demonstrated strategic thinking and how they navigated, difficult and complex architectural obstacles to ensure that all my stuff stayed safe and where I wanted it. I’d give them 100 gold stars if I could. A two bedroom apartment accomplished in less than two hours.
