How do I book Movers only with Lugg if I don't need a truck?

Book Movers only in Lorton, Lugg's option for jobs that stay at one address. Enter your address, tap **Movers only** underneath it, then pick your crew size and a time. If you type the same address as both your pickup and your drop-off, the app suggests Movers only for you. There's no truck to book, and you'll see your upfront estimate before you confirm.

How do I choose my crew size for Movers only?

After you tap **Movers only**, the Crew screen asks you to pick **1 Lugger** or **2 Luggers**. 1 Lugger has the lower base fare and the lower per-minute labor rate, and suits a job one person can handle, like carrying boxes or moving lighter furniture. Pick 2 Luggers for anything that takes two people to carry, like a sofa, a dresser or a washer. Weight is the other thing to check. Lugg's weight limit is 125 lbs per Lugger, or 250 lbs per item when you pick 2 Luggers. If the job needs a bigger crew than that, book a second Movers only Lugg at the same address for the same time window. Each booking has its own base fare and per-minute labor, and Movers only has no mileage fee.

How does Lugg calculate my time?

The clock starts when the crew arrives at your address and stops when the last thing you asked for is done. Lugg bills that time by the minute with no minimum, so a 40-minute job costs 40 minutes. If the work finishes faster than you planned you only pay for what you used, and if it runs longer the crew can keep working at the same per-minute rate. You don't book a block of time, so it helps to have a rough idea of what jobs take: * **Rearranging furniture:** moving a few heavy items within your home usually takes about an hour. * **Loading or unloading a truck or pod:** 2–3 hours for a studio or one-bedroom, 3–5 hours for a two- or three-bedroom home. * **Event setup:** varies a lot, but an hour or two covers most table, chair and decor setups. The estimator in the Lugg app or on lugg.com works out an estimated cost from the crew size you pick and the time you expect.

What do Lugg movers bring?

Even on a Movers only job in Lorton, your Luggers arrive with their own equipment: a dolly, moving blankets, stretch wrap, tie-down straps, forearm lifting straps, and a basic toolkit for light disassembly and reassembly. For a job where the crew both loads and unloads, you don't need to supply anything. They work to avoid marking floors, walls and elevators, and they're used to getting heavy furniture and appliances through tight doorways, up stairs and around landings.

Can Lugg movers load or unload a truck or container?

Yes, Luggers load and unload rental trucks, PODS containers and storage units in Lorton every day. They know how to pack a load so it uses the space it has and doesn't shift on the drive — heavy pieces low and flat against the walls, padding between anything that can rub. One thing to plan for when the crew is loading but not unloading: their moving blankets are their own equipment and go back with them at the end of the job. If you want your furniture padded for the drive, or for a few months in storage, have your own blankets ready and the crew will use those. They'll bring stretch wrap either way, and anything loose should be boxed and taped before they arrive.

What can Lugg movers do on a Movers only job?

Anything that stays at one address. Customers book Movers only to: * Load or unload a rental truck, a moving container or a storage unit. * Set up and break down tables, chairs and decor for parties and events. * Rearrange furniture within a home or office. * Move something heavy, like a treadmill, a safe or a sleeper sofa, to a different room or floor. * Move furniture out before the floors get refinished, then back in once they're dry. * Clear out a garage or basement before a remodel. * Stage a home before a showing, or reconfigure an office. It also works between two buildings in the same complex, as long as your movers can carry everything over without a truck. If your things need to ride in a vehicle to get there, book a standard Lugg and your movers bring the vehicle.

Will Lugg pack my boxes?

No, Lugg does not provide packing or unpacking services. On a Movers only job, Luggers handle the heavy lifting: carrying, loading and unloading, placing furniture where you want it, and basic assembly and disassembly. Have loose items like dishes, books and clothes boxed and taped before the crew arrives, since Lugg doesn't supply boxes or packing materials. Because labor is billed by the minute, having everything ready to go is also the cheapest way to book.

I just need one extremely heavy item moved. Is a short Lugg like that worth it?

Yes, single-item jobs are one of the most common reasons people book Movers only in Lorton. A sleeper sofa that has to go upstairs, a treadmill that has to get down to the basement, a safe that needs to move one room over: all of them are hard or unsafe to do alone. And because labor is billed by the minute with no hourly minimum, a fifteen-minute job pays for fifteen minutes of labor on top of the base fare.

Pankaj and Rate were wonderful. They strategized and organized the placement of three heavy items in my truck and strapped the whole thing very well so that I would be safe on the freeway. I’ve used Lugg 5 or 6 times in the past year and always been more than satisfied. It made my day today to get these items moved. Pankaj and Rate’s help made the whole process possible and they were light hearted and positive all the way through. - Leigh

Jerome and Jahlil were really good movers under difficult circumstances. The pieces to be moved were in a house that was being refurbished, and boxes and furniture made maneuvering tricky and problem solving necessary. They patiently made their way through and got the things loaded. At delivery all went smoothly and my daughter was very pleased with their work. I’ll definitely use LUGG again and have already told a couple of friends about this service! - Cathleen

First experience using Lugg to move a white sofa I bought on FB marketplace. Very impressed with sophistication of these movers! They wrapped the couch in plastic, sealed up the cushions in clean containers and had two dollies. I think we tend to underestimate weight/size of items we want to move but im so glad I opted for the van vs truck and 2 guys versus opting to be the helper for a discount. It did add about 40% to the cost of my couch but still a deal. - Terra

PODS loading and unloading in Lorton: movers for the container in your driveway

Loading and unloading a PODS container is a labor job, and it's the part the container delivery leaves out: PODS drops the container off and hauls it away, and everything that goes into it or comes out of it is down to you or to movers you hire. That work is essentially two separate moving days without the drive: boxes and furniture carried out of the house and stacked tight so nothing shifts on the road, then the whole container emptied at the other end and each piece carried to the room it belongs in. Lugg is an on-demand moving and delivery service that loads and unloads portable storage containers in Lorton with Movers only, same day, for people who've already got the container and need the lifting done.

Who loads a PODS container?

You do, or you hire it out. PODS delivers the container to your address and comes back for it, and the loading in between isn't part of that. "Help loading a pod" is exactly what people book Movers only for: the movers, with no truck to book. Enter your address, tap Movers only, pick your crew size, and movers can be on the way in as little as an hour, or scheduled up to 60 days in advance. If the container turns up late, you can move the booking to another day or time, any time before the crew is dispatched.

Moving to another state? PODS drives it, Lugg loads it

Most people renting a container are moving a long way, and that's the appeal. PODS hauls it so nobody has to drive a truck across the country. Lugg is the local half at each end. A crew loads the container while it's sitting on your driveway, PODS takes it from there, and a second crew empties it once it's been delivered to the new address. So a container move is typically booked as two Luggs rather than one, often weeks apart and in two different cities.

The carry from your door to the container

PODS puts the container where its truck can reach. That's a driveway, a parking space, sometimes the street, and rarely right outside your door. On a container job the carry is usually what takes the time, more than the stacking does: a long driveway, a walk out to a shared lot, or a flight of stairs before you even get outside.

Load it in the order you'll unpack it

Everything at the back of the container comes out last, so what goes in first matters more here than on a truck you're emptying the same afternoon. Off-season clothes, books and the garage go deep. The kettle, the bedding and the tools you'll want on the first night stay near the doors. Point out which boxes those are and the crew will stack around them.
