Dmitriy & Nicholas were super friendly and answered all my questions about Lugg (since this was my first time using the service). Besides that they were super responsive and efficient. I’m already planning my next Lugg to Salvation Army thanks to their great work! - DM
Renars & Henry were amazing and great people! They were able to efficiently move my dresser down stairs. I would highly recommend them for a move! - Emily
Joshua and Will were friendly, professional, and efficient. They handled the glass panels with great care and safely carried everything upstairs. Thanks again! - Christina
Wilson and Kalifa were absolutely outstanding. They showed up right on time, communicated clearly, and tackled what can only be described as a Peloton Tread+ relocation obstacle course with professionalism and ease. This wasn’t a simple move—the treadmill is incredibly heavy (460lbs!), the stairs were challenging, and there were plenty of opportunities for things to go sideways. Instead, they handled every step with teamwork, skill, and a level of confidence that made the whole process look easy. They were careful, efficient, and went above and beyond to make sure everything was completed exactly the way I wanted. Watching them maneuver that treadmill was like witnessing a synchronized Olympic event: equal parts strength, precision, and grace. My back started hurting just watching them do the work. If you’re lucky enough to get Wilson and Kalifa on your job, you’re in great hands. I would hire them again in a heartbeat and highly recommend them to anyone who needs movers who bring both muscles and professionalism to the table. Five stars all day long. - Bryan
Huge thanks to Viktor and Ralonzo for the incredible help today! They handled moving a heavy table up a flight of stairs with ease and made what could have been a stressful task look completely effortless. Beyond just the heavy lifting, both Viktor and Ralonzo were incredibly respectful and professional throughout the entire process. I really appreciated their positive attitude and great teamwork, and I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a seamless moving experience. Also a positive first time experience with Lugg will definitely use again. - Peter
Jonathan and Wilson were absolutely fantastic. They helped us move a washer/dryer tower up two flights of stairs and made what felt impossible look easy. They kept us updated the entire way here so we knew exactly when to expect them, were incredibly efficient with such a heavy load, and navigated a very tight space without any issues. On top of that, they were both super friendly and professional throughout the entire move. Highly recommend them and would absolutely use them again! - Megan
Jeremy and Henry was able to lift and maneuver my futon around my garage and up the stairs smoothly. It was a quick move and very efficient. I would have them assist in the future. - Jenny
Erick and Daniel moved 2 treadmills upstairs which was a really tough job. They did great and were super friendly! - Nicholas
Peter and Jose artfully carried a light gray fabric recliner up 6 flights of stairs with wet paint on the walls and there wasn't a mark. - Sara
Kevin & Khalid were awesome! Great attitudes 🙌🏼 Moving a Peloton Treadmill is down a set of stairs is no easy task and these two met the challenge with class! - Ruth
Kevin and Khalid went above and beyond helping me move a very heavy solid wood entertainment cabinet down a flight of outdoor stairs and into my mom’s garage. They were incredibly professional, careful, and efficient from start to finish. They communicated clearly, showed up on time, and treated the piece with great care. It was a challenging move, but they handled it with total confidence and teamwork. Friendly, respectful, and clearly experienced, I couldn’t have asked for better movers. If you want the job done right with zero stress, these are your guys! Highly recommend - Kelly
Jeremy and Henry were awesome. Excellent communication beforehand and while moving. They were able to move even more items than I had expected and moved so quickly. They expertly moved my large, heavy couch (that I struggle to push around) down a set of stairs and a super narrow alley. They made the process so quick and easy, and they were also really kind, friendly people. If I or someone I know needed to move again and I could request movers, I would definitely request them. - Claire

Christian and CJ did an excellent job. I had a very heavy and bulky buffet table and I have a lot of stairs in my home. They were efficient and took their time to make sure the table made it to its place safely. Thank you guys:) 🙏 - Annie
Mark & Keith were great. They moved a large sofa down a narrow hallway, down a set of stairs at my condo and into the garage. It was a tight space, but they did a great job. They also moved a couple of pieces of furniture out of the way and then put them back in place. - Lisa

Lugg Box is a high-capacity option for estate donations, large office clear-outs, or donating the contents from a 2+ bedroom home.

Enter your addresses to see your prices and schedule your move
Put your ZIP into the Salvation Army's scheduler and you may be told pickup isn't available in your area, with a list of drop-off locations offered instead. That happens even inside metros where they run plenty of stores, because collection is arranged ZIP by ZIP rather than offered everywhere. Where a truck does cover you it's free, though the next open slot isn't yours to choose. Lugg is an on-demand moving and delivery service in San Diego that collects donations from your door and delivers them to the Salvation Army you choose, for the addresses a charity truck doesn't reach and the days you can't wait for one.
The Salvation Army names clothing, furniture, household goods and appliances among its commonly donated items, but publishes no single nationwide list of what's accepted and what isn't. Because collection and drop-off are run locally, the items they take change with whatever center you're donating to. Call your local one before you plan on it, because their crew can still decline something at the door if it turns up damaged or below their standards, and what one center takes doesn't mean another will.
This is the question people actually search: will they take the heavy thing? A charity crew works to its own limits on weight, stairs and condition, and a sleeper sofa on a third floor is where a free pickup most often turns into a no. Lugg movers carry it out, up stairs, into elevators and down long hallways, and you choose the truck for the load rather than hoping the one that shows up is big enough.
One booking holds up to five stops, so the clothes and housewares can reach the Salvation Army while the piece they declined goes on to a charity that takes it, or to a recycling or disposal site. Booking on demand puts movers on the way within the hour, same-day slots run in one-hour blocks, and you can schedule up to 60 days out. Plan the stops when you book and they're in the estimate you see before you commit.
Enter your address and the Salvation Army's address and the estimate appears before you commit to anything. There are no hourly minimums, so a forty-minute donation run is billed as forty minutes, not rounded up to a two-hour block. Small items must be bagged or boxed before pickup.
