How do my Luggers know what to pick up from my estate sale seller, and how will they contact the seller?

When you book, upload photos and a clear description of the item from estate sale in San Jose - your Luggers will use this to identify it. They'll also confirm it matches the photos or description you provided so the correct used item is picked up. To keep the seller informed, add their phone number to the Additional Contacts field. Your Luggers will be able to contact them directly once they arrive at the pickup location. Once your crew is en route, you can also message them directly in the [Lugg app](https://short.lu.gg/lugg-app) to relay any last-minute details. This process works smoothly whether the pickup is from a private seller, thrift shop, secondhand store, or estate sale.

Do I need to be present when Lugg picks up my estate sale item from the seller?

No, you don't need to be at the pickup location as long as the estate sale seller is available to release the item and your booking includes clear photos and notes. Most used-item sellers are comfortable meeting directly with the crew. If the seller is leaving the item outside for contactless pickup, please confirm this with them ahead of time and make sure the item is clearly labeled. You'll be able to track your crew's arrival in real time and message them directly in the app.

Does Lugg provide same-day & next-day estate sale delivery in San Jose?

Yes, Lugg provides on-demand, same-day, and next-day estate sale deliveries. You can book movers and a truck in as little as 30 minutes, or schedule up to 60 days in advance for a time that works best for you.

What happens if the estate sale seller isn't home or doesn't have the item ready when my Lugg arrives?

Your Luggers will attempt to contact the estate sale seller and wait a reasonable amount of time. Any wait time is billed at your standard per-minute labor rate. If the seller is unresponsive and the pickup can't be completed, the Lugg will be canceled, and a cancellation fee may apply. To avoid this, please confirm the pickup time with the seller 1–2 hours before your arrival window. Double-checking the seller's availability helps prevent common used-item issues like no-shows or last-minute listing changes.

Can Lugg pay the estate sale seller for me when they pick up the item (Cash on Delivery)?

No. For liability and security reasons, Lugg crews cannot handle cash, checks, or digital payments between you and the seller. Please arrange payment directly with the estate sale seller. We recommend using a secure digital payment app after you've confirmed our crew has the item. Handling payment yourself keeps the transaction secure and helps avoid common risks with second hand purchases.

Can Lugg pick up used appliances from the estate sale or other second hand sellers?

Yes! Lugg can pick up and deliver used appliances such as washers, dryers, refrigerators, and stoves, as long as they fit safely in the truck you choose. Please make sure the seller has disconnected the appliance and that any water lines are fully drained before the crew arrives, as Luggers aren't able to provide plumbing or electrical services.

What size truck and crew should I book for my estate sale delivery?

The best truck depends on the size and scope of your estate sale delivery. For most estate sale deliveries involving heavy items, we **strongly recommend a 2-Lugger crew** to ensure everything is handled safely and efficiently. For smaller tasks, or when you'd like to assist, the Lugg Lite (1 Lugger + pickup truck) works great. Here's a quick look at our truck dimensions to help you choose: * Pickup: 6 ft+ long × 4.5 ft wide. The tailgate can stay open for extra length, and all items are secured with straps. * Van: 8 ft+ long × 4 ft wide × 4.5 ft tall. * XL: 10 ft+ long × 5.5 ft wide × 6.4 ft tall. * Box Truck: 12 ft+ long × 6 ft wide × 7 ft tall. **Tip**: Our Pickup trucks include a tarp for light rain protection, but if the forecast calls for heavier rain, we recommend booking a covered truck, such as a Van, XL, or Box, for extra coverage. If your estate sale delivery requires a lift gate for loading or unloading, please book a Box Truck and add a note to your booking.

Can the crew inspect the item for damage before loading it?

While the Luggers can confirm the items' general condition, they are moving experts, not item inspectors. Upon request, they can perform basic inspections for quality, authenticity, or functionality, billed at the standard labor-minute rate. They will note and photograph any obvious, significant pre-existing damage (e.g., a large crack in a mirror, a torn sofa cushion) to ensure they aren't held responsible. For overall condition or quality concerns, we recommend asking the seller for detailed photos or a short video ahead of time.

Can Lugg disassemble and assemble furniture during my estate sale move?

Yes, your Luggers can help with basic furniture assembly and disassembly during your estate sale delivery. Crews bring standard tools, but if your items need specialty tools or instructions, please have those ready. Time spent assembling or disassembling is included in your total labor.

Will Lugg bring my estate sale item inside and place it where I want it?

Yes! Your Luggers will bring your used item(s) inside, carry it upstairs/downstairs, and place it exactly where you want it, whether that's a living room, bedroom, office, or hallway. There are no extra fees for stairs, tight spaces, or in-home placement, and all handling is billed at the standard per-minute labor rate.

What if Lugg gets there and the estate sale item is not as described, and I don't want it anymore?

If you decide to cancel the purchase and delivery upon our crew's arrival, you may still be responsible for the Lugg booking. This includes situations where the item's size, condition, or appearance doesn't match the listing photos or what the seller described. Lugg's role is item transportation, and we're required to compensate crews for their time and travel.

What supplies and protective equipment will my Luggers bring for my estate sale delivery?

Every Lugg estate sale delivery in San Jose includes professional moving equipment, straps, dollies, moving blankets, and stretch wrap to protect your items and your space, plus a basic toolkit for light disassembly or reassembly. Pickup trucks also come equipped with a tarp for weather protection. Your Luggers will wrap fragile or bulky pieces for safe transport, 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 a smooth, efficient estate sale delivery from start to finish.

Can you pick up an item and hold it for a few days before delivering it to me in San Jose?

No, Lugg does not have storage facilities and can't hold items. Your pickup and delivery in San Jose must be completed within the same booking.

The seller offered me another small item for free. Can the Luggers grab that too?

Yes, as long as the additional item(s) fit safely in the truck you booked and don't violate weight or restricted-items policies, we're happy to take them. The extra loading time is billed at the per-minute labor rate. For a smooth pickup, note any possible extras in your estate sale booking details. If you're planning to pick up from multiple sellers, you can also add extra stops directly in your booking.

Hired Lugg to move a single piece of furniture purchased from a store to deliver to our home. John and Jose were 5 minutes early arriving. They handled with care loading, blanketing and tying down for delivery. They were respectful of our home asking if it was OK to use their 4 wheel dolly on our carpets. They also agreed to move another piece of furniture to make room for the new. Thank you John and Jose. - Ben
