How do I book a labor-only move if I don't need a truck?

To book moving help at 1 location, simply enter your home or job site address as **both** the pickup and drop-off location. This tells our system you're booking for labor-only and won't be using our truck for transport.

The app is asking me to select a truck, but I just need the movers. What should I choose?

Even for labor-only moves, you'll need to select a truck type to book. We recommend selecting the **Pickup Truck**, as it has the lowest base fare. You will not be charged for mileage since the pickup and drop-off addresses are the same.

How do I estimate how many Luggers and how much time I'll need?

Labor-only moves vary widely, so the best way to get an accurate estimate is to use our time estimator tool inside the [Lugg app](https://short.lu.gg/lugg-app) or on our [website](https://book.lugg.com/). It quickly calculates estimated cost based on truck type and labor time. And remember: your crew can stay for as little or as long as you need, billed per minute with no minimums. Here are some general guidelines to help you plan: * **Rearranging Furniture:** For moving a few heavy items within your home, a 2-Lugger crew for one hour is typically sufficient. * **Loading/Unloading a Truck or Pod:** For a studio or 1-bedroom apartment, we recommend a 2-Lugger crew for 2-3 hours. For a 2-3 bedroom home, plan for a 2-Lugger crew for 3-5 hours. * **Event Setup:** This varies greatly, but a 2-Lugger crew is usually a good starting point for setting up tables, chairs, and other event decor.

Are your crews experienced in loading and unloading moving trucks and storage containers?

Yes, absolutely. Our Luggers are professionally trained movers who know how to properly load and unload a moving truck, PODS container, or storage unit. They use proven techniques to maximize space, protect your belongings, and prevent items from shifting during transit.

What supplies and protective equipment will the labor crew bring?

Even for labor-only moves in New Haven, your Luggers will arrive with professional moving equipment to ensure the job is done safely and efficiently. This includes a dolly, moving blankets, stretch wrap, tie-down straps, and a basic toolkit for light disassembly or reassembly. Your Luggers will take care to avoid damage to floors, walls, and elevators, and are trained to move heavy furniture, appliances, and other large items safely through tight spaces, stairs, and doorways. This helps ensure smooth, efficient labor help from start to finish.

Can Lugg help me pack my loose items into boxes?

Our labor service focuses on heavy lifting and moving. We do not provide packing services or supplies for loose items (e.g., packing dishes, clothing, or books into boxes). To make the most of your time, please have everything boxed up and ready to be moved before your crew arrives.

Can I hire Lugg for tasks other than moving, like event setup or clearing out a garage?

Yes! Our labor-only service is perfect for a wide range of on-site tasks. Customers frequently use our crews to: * Set up and break down for parties and events. * Rearrange furniture within a home or office. * Move heavy items like treadmills or safes to a different room. * Clear out garages or basements in preparation for a remodel. * Home staging or office reconfigurations.

How is my time calculated for a labor-only move?

It's simple. Your billable time starts when our crew arrives at your address and ends as soon as they have completed all the tasks you've requested. You only pay for the exact time you use, with no minimums.

What happens if the move takes more or less time than I anticipated?

No problem. Our service is flexible. If your move finishes faster than expected, you only pay for the time used. If you need the crew to stay longer than you originally thought, they can continue working, and the time will be billed at the same per-minute rate.

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

Definitely. Many of our customers book us for quick, single-item moves that are too difficult or unsafe to do alone, like moving a sleeper sofa upstairs or getting a new treadmill into the basement. With no time minimums, our service is a cost-effective way to get professional help for even the smallest moves.

West Springfield, MA

Isiah and Marquail were polite, helpful, and were a pleasure to work with. Now Lugg, the company, is questionable. How can you send 2 guys from New Haven to West Springfield to move 2 items 5 miles!?? The $96 paid for this service was an awful business decision. There is no waythe company of the movers made any money from this trip. Lugg needs to revisit your logiatical decisions. Would not have hired your company if I knew you were coming from New Haven. - Karin

My lugg movers arrived at the promised time. They were very courteous and efficient in loading the things I needed moved. My drop off location changed as there was some confusion. But my movers did not show any concern and helped me to get to the correct location. The lugg app helped as the destination changed. The whole place process including the drop off went smoothly even though I had to change the location of the drop off. I am very happy that I chose the lugg movers for my move. - Damodar

Isiah and Chris were incredible! They were so kind and friendly! And they were very experienced movers who work really hard. They helped me unload some heavy items from a truck and then they moved those items into my house. I appreciated that they wanted to scope out the route they’d take to bring everything in first (instead of just diving right in). They were thoughtful and careful and treated these household items as if they were their own. They were also conscientious and went above and beyond. When the plans changed, they went the extra mile to make sure everything was set up the way it needed to be. I’m very grateful for all of their help! Thank you, Chris and Isiah! - Blaine

Christopher and Sebastian were awesome, super efficient and professional! We had a small hiccup when the original drivers couldn’t arrive on time, but they stepped in immediately and headed our way to make sure we still had the quickest pickup and delivery possible. I really appreciated their willingness to jump in without hesitation. They both were really nice and did not mind that we have cats to manage around lol. The most important part is they ensured all the equipment that is more fragile was wrapped and held down really well so it arrived without a scratch! Extremely appreciative of the attention to detail, the help bringing it into the house and the genuine kindness they showed! ❤️ - Summer
