How to Hire Moving Labor for Unpacking

Posted: November 19, 2025

You’ve packed all your belongings. Your movers arrived early. They got everything loaded for you. You drove your U-Haul truck rental — or used a U-Box container — to get your items to your new home. Your same movers or a different moving company helped you unload all your belongings and into your new home in a timely manner.

Time to relax now, right? Wrong. Now you have to unpack everything. After such a long day, who wants to complete all that unpacking? If this screams you, the Moving Help® Marketplace has the solution for you. You can hire unpacking movers. That’s right. You can find Service Providers on the Moving Help Marketplace who’ll provide unpacking moving labor services. Find out how today.

6 Steps to Hire Unpacking Movers From Moving Help

It takes six quick steps to find the right moving labor professional to assist you with your unpacking needs.

Step 1: Go to MovingHelp.com

The first step is to go to MovingHelp.com. You’ll find a form on the homepage where you can fill out your information.

Step 2: Fill out the Form

For the form, you’ll need to fill out the address for the first location, the date you need help, and your start time. If you need help at a second location, you’ll fill out the address, the date, and the start time you need for that location as well. When finished, click on the “Search” button.

Step 3: Select the Services You Need

When the page loads, you’ll head to the “Hourly Services” section in the “Sort & Filter” box. Once there, you need to deselect the “Load/Unload” checkbox, and you can select the “Pack/Unpack” checkbox. If you need loading or unloading help, you can keep both boxes checked. Afterward, you can click on the “Apply” button.

Step 4: Review Your Service Providers

After the page loads, you’ll see all the Service Providers who offer unpacking moving services in your area. If you need unloading help plus unpacking moving services, you’ll see all the Service Providers who offer both services in your area.

You can see upfront prices, read unedited customer reviews, and see the ratings for every Moving Helper. This way, you can find a helper that fits your needs and budget, especially when you need to stretch every penny on your moving budget.

Step 5: Fill out Your Information

Fill out the number of helpers and the number of hours you need to pack. Remember, you can always add hours later on, but you can’t remove them. The most common number of helpers and hours booked are two helpers for two hours. Of course, every moving situation is different, so figure out how much time you realistically need.

You’ll fill out the “Address Details” section and the “Service Information” section. Then you’ll click on the “Add to Cart” button.

If you have a second location, you can repeat Steps 3-5. If not, you can head to the “Checkout” page where you’ll review your order before filling out your information in the “Billing Information” section. You can click on the “Confirm Order” button to confirm your purchase.

Step 6: Prepare for Your Move

You’ll receive an email (and a text message if you opted in) from Moving Help confirming your order with your 6-digit Payment Code when you complete your purchase. Do not give out your Payment Code to your Moving Helper until after the job is completed and to your satisfaction.

When it comes to packing, you don’t have much to do because your items should already be packed and unloaded into your new home when your Service Providers begin the unpacking process. You should be prepared to know where everything goes, so your unpacking movers can efficiently unpack your items in a timely manner.

Unlike some unpacking movers, our Service Providers will call you ahead of time prior to your moving date to confirm your move and go over all the necessary details with you.

Other than that, you can relax and let your movers handle the unpacking portion of your move.

6 Reasons Why You Should Hire Unpacking Movers

Movers who are unpacking your items make moving day go much faster and much more efficient. Our professional moving labor Service Providers from the Moving Help Marketplace understand the importance of unpacking each item out of your moving boxes.

Here are six reasons why you should hire moving labor from Moving Help.

  1. No cancellation fees: No matter whether it’s a week or the night prior to moving day, you’ll never have to pay for a cancellation fee. Plans and moving dates can change, and we understand it, which is why we don’t have a cancellation fee.

  1. Rely on experts, not friends: Our Moving Helpers are professionals who are experts when it comes to loading or unloading your belongings. Unlike your friends, our movers know to not put your fragile items in a moving box at the bottom of a stack of boxes. 
  1. No hidden fees: Moving Help doesn’t have hidden fees. The price you see is the price you pay when booking your help. Unlike other moving companies, our providers won’t charge you randomly for anything that happens during your move. 
  1. Avoid stress: Moving is already stressful enough without even including the moving portion itself. Avoid the stress of unpacking every moving box and let your Service Providers handle it for you. 
  1. Secure payment: With Moving Help, you’ll receive a 6-digit Payment Code. You don’t release your Payment Code until after the job is completed, and you’re satisfied. If something is wrong, you can work out a deal with your provider before you give them your code, which gives you an added sense of security. 
  1. Support your community: When booking a Moving Helper, you’re supporting a local business who lives and knows your community well. 

The best advice Moving Help can offer to customers is to always communicate with your Service Providers about your expectations and what is needed for your specific move. Clear communication will help avoid confusion, hiccups, or roadblocks while moving.
