Why the Moving Help® Marketplace Is Perfect for DIY Moves

Posted: October 14, 2025

Moving can be hectic, but you don’t have to face it alone! With the Moving Help® Marketplace, you have access to a variety of local, affordable, and most importantly, trustworthy moving assistance all from your phone. You can schedule Moving Helpers on your time, for as long as you need.

Get Help With (Almost) Anything

Wondering what exactly we can do for you? Here’s a breakdown: 

Moving

Packing: Get help from the get-go! On the Moving Help Marketplace, you can find assistance with packing (Although, you’ll have to provide the supplies.)

Loading/Unloading: No need to do the heavy lifting, we got that covered too. You can schedule Moving Help by the hour, and we recommend booking your moving labor for about 2 hours to get everything loaded into your moving truck or portable storage container.

Specialty Moves: Got something big and heavy? Think like a gun safe, a piano, or an aquarium. If that’s the case, we got your back. On the Moving Help Marketplace, you can find helpers that can take care of loading and unloading it for you.

Cleaning

Get your security deposit back. The Moving Help Marketplace can match you with helpers that can clean your space and make it spic-and-span before your landlord comes to inspect.

On the other hand, our cleaning helpers also are perfect for making sure your new space is move-in ready. They can mop the floors, scrub the baseboards, and help make your new place feel like home faster.

Like the packing supplies, you’ll need to provide all the cleaning supplies you want your helper to use to clean your home.

Organization

With the Moving Help Marketplace, we can help you declutter and make some extra space. You can book Moving Helpers to stop by your place and lend a hand with larger-scale organizational projects like:

A man leans against his gun safe as his dog sits in between his feet while the man talks to his two Moving Helpers before moving the gun safe.

Find Your Perfect Match on the Moving Help Marketplace

Once you let us know when and where you need the help, the Moving Help Marketplace will allow you to explore various labor-only movers in your area.

Each provider on our Marketplace has been vetted when signing up with us — ensuring you’ll only ever get matched with high-quality moving labor providers.

Don’t take just our word for it. On the Moving Help Marketplace, you can read through real customer reviews about our moving providers. Only Moving Help customers can leave reviews on our Marketplace, so you know it’s an authentic experience every time.

Accomplish Long-Distance Moves on a Budget

Full-service moves can be super convenient, but that easy move can come with a hefty price tag. When you pair your U-Haul rental with some assistance from the Moving Help Marketplace, you can make a DIY full-service move at a fraction of the price! Here’s how:

  • Rent a portable U-Box storage container
  • Hire some Moving Help to pack your things and load your U-Box container
  • Ship your U-Box (and yourself) to your next destination
  • Hire some Moving Helpers to help you unload, unpack, and set up your new digs

No matter if you’re just looking for an extra hand — or just want a hands-off experience — the Moving Help Marketplace is here to make it happen. Let us know when and where to meet you, and then you can browse the Marketplace to find your perfect moving helpers.
