5 Ways to Customize Your Move With Moving Help

Moving comes in all shapes and sizes. Whether you’re relocating from a small apartment down the street or a four-bedroom house across the country, it’s important to find the right moving resources that suit your budget and needs. 

While a full-service move can take care of everything, it may be overkill and costly for some relocations. On the other hand, opting for a DIY move can save you money but also leave you with more physical labor than you expected. It’s all about finding the balance that works best for you. 

That’s where the Moving Help® Marketplace comes in. Tailoring your move via the Marketplace will help you get the services you need for a price you can afford. Here are five ways you can customize your move to your liking using the Moving Help Marketplace.

Find Movers Who Meet Your Standards

One of the most flexible aspects of the Moving Help Marketplace is the ability to browse local moving labor providers and select a company that meets your standards. Filter by real customer reviews, transparent pricing, services provided, and location to find the perfect laborers for your move, all in one convenient, streamlined process.

Customize Your Full-Service Move

If you’re looking for the convenience of a full-service move without the price tag, consider creating a custom, near-full-service move with Moving Help loading and unloading labor and U-Box® portable moving and storage containers. How it works is simple:

  • Reserve your U-Box container(s)
  • Book Moving Help laborers
  • Your container(s) are dropped off a location of your choosing
  • Laborers load your container(s)
  • Your container(s) is shipped to the destination of your choosing
  • Laborers unloading your container(s)

One of the best things about this process is it can be tailored to fit your needs through the Moving Help Marketplace and the endless possibilities of U-Box containers.

You can select a small team to just load just one container for at-home storage, hire a larger crew to load and unload multiple containers at various locations, or even hire Service Providers to load in one location and then unload and unpack in another.

The options are truly limitless when it comes to customizing your “full-service” move with Moving Help and U-Box containers. Learn more about the convenience and flexibility of U-Box containers.

Choose the Perfect Time for Your Move

Moving doesn’t always happen during regular business hours, and the duration of a move can vary plenty depending on different factors.

That’s why we’ve made it easy to use the Moving Help platform to find moving labor providers who can work around your schedule — whether you need help early in the morning or late at night, seven days a week, for as long as you need (up to 24 hours).

Since Moving Help rates are based on the number of hours you need, this feature also allows you to tailor your move to fit your budget.

Hire the Right Number of Movers

Not all jobs are created equal. With the Moving Help Marketplace, you have the flexibility to choose anywhere from one to five crew members for your move. This means you can tailor your moving experience to fit the size and complexity of your job.

For example, if you’re relocating from a spacious 2,800 sq/ft home, you might want to consider hiring three or more helpers to assist you for several hours. On the other hand, if you’re just looking for a little help moving out of a cozy studio apartment, a single helper for a couple of hours could be all you need.

Select Only the Services You Need

Whether you’re the hands-on DIY type or prefer a more hands-off approach, the Moving Help Marketplace can connect you with Moving Helpers who fit your needs. With a variety of labor-only service options available, you can customize your move to ensure it’s a success. Mix and match different services to create the perfect moving experience for you.

Here are the different levels of service available via the Moving Help Marketplace.

  • Packing/Unpacking: Packing plays a crucial role in the moving process. If you need help with this step, you can hire helpers who provide packing services. The customer will provide all the packing and moving supplies needed for the move, the moving labor providers will carefully pack your belongings, and then they’ll unpack them at your new place.
  • Loading/Unloading: Local expert providers are ready to help you load and unload your belongings into a moving truck rental, portable storage container, storage unit, or any other situation where you need some heavy lifting help.
  • Piano moves: You know that bulky grand piano or upright piano that your grandparents left you? You can hire movers just to help you move it. Piano moving is a specialized service offered by some laborers in the Moving Help Marketplace. Take advantage of this option if it’s available to you.
  • Gun Safe moves: Another specialty moving service available in the Moving Help Marketplace is gun safe moving. If you have a gun safe, you know how tricky it can be to move, even for a short distance. Moving Help has your back with specialized gun safe moving services. Find the right professionals to handle the job with ease.
  • Cleaning: You also can find cleaning services available in the Moving Help Marketplace. If you move out of an apartment, professional house cleaners can do wonders to get your security deposit back. Provide cleaning supplies and pair this service with labor and you won’t have to lift a finger with your move.
