I can’t recommend TJ and Lansana enough! They helped me with a last minute request and went above and beyond to accommodate me. They expertly moved an extremely heavy piece of furniture-easily over 300 lbs- up a flight of stairs, all while navigating snowy conditions. The crew was incredibly careful and professional throughout the entire process. I was truly impressed and left speechless by their dedication and skills. I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again! - Ashley

I purchased two wrought iron tables from a seller on Facebook Marketplace. Ramiro and John provided professional service They arrived timely to the pickup location; loaded the tables into the van; and patiently waited with me while I waited for my Uber driver to pick me up and transport me to my apartment. Upon arrival of my Uber, Ramiro and John then followed my Uber car from the pickup location to my apartment, where they unloaded the two tables, delivered the tables to my apartment, and placed both tables in my apartment where I requested. This was of tremendous help to me as the tables are very heavy. - Tyra

Movers only in Chicago: labor-only moving help when you just need movers
Sometimes the job needs people, not a truck. You need help loading a moving truck you rented or the PODS in the driveway, a sleeper sofa has to get up three flights of stairs, you're rearranging furniture before a showing, the tables and chairs need setting up for an event, or everything has to clear a room for new floors and come back once they've cured. Lugg is an on-demand moving and delivery service that offers Movers only in Chicago, labor-only moving help you can book the same day for any job that stays at one address. Some people call them load-only movers.
How to book Movers only
The Movers only button sits right under your address. Tap it, choose how many movers the job needs, and pick a time, and the price shows before anything is booked. It works the same way in the Lugg app and on the web, and it's the quickest way to hire moving help without arranging a truck.
Can you hire movers by the hour?
Yes, and finer than that. Lugg bills moving labor by the minute, so a 40-minute job pays for 40 minutes of labor instead of the two-to-four-hour block most moving companies charge for. The base fare depends on the crew size you pick, and with nothing traveling between two addresses there's no mileage. Running long is fine too: the same rate simply continues.
What Movers only covers, and when to book a standard Lugg
Movers fill or empty a rental truck, a PODS or a storage unit, carry a single heavy item to another room or floor, like a treadmill down to the basement or a mattress up a staircase, and take on any job where you need help moving furniture without going anywhere. They show up with a dolly, blankets, straps and stretch wrap, and they can take a bed frame apart and put it back together in the room it's going in. For a PODS or a U-Box, the container pages cover what to have ready.
Two buildings in one complex count too, as long as everything can be carried across on foot. If anything has to ride in a vehicle to get where it's going, book a standard Lugg instead and your movers bring the vehicle.
