The Cost of Hiring Movers in Wilmington, DE

On average, it costs $344.49 to hire moving helpers in Wilmington, DE. Your actual price will depend on how long your move takes—but across Wilmington, the typical hourly rate for moving labor is around $80.40.

These average costs reflect “labor-only” moves—where you hire movers to load or unload your rental truck, shipping container (like a PODS container), or storage unit. It’s one of the most cost-effective ways to move and is often far more affordable than hiring a full-service moving company—more on that below.

The Cost of Full-Service Moving

The average cost of a local full-service move in Wilmington, DE is $936.72, with an average hourly rate of $138.61. Full-service moves do cost more, but they come with serious convenience—you won’t need to rent a truck, drive it, or coordinate a shipping container.

Prefer the all-in-one, hands-off experience? Full-service might be your move. Here’s how it compares to labor-only options.

Although we switched the orifinal scheduling the week prior they arrived on time and worked very quickly and efficciently, maximizing the loading of the container. The 2 man team finished an hour early as we had already staged the load on the first floor (in the garage adjcent to the container). A job well done and worth the cost! Thanks to We Move for your help!

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.
