Tipping is entirely optional, but if you want to reward your movers for a job well done you'll have the opportunity to do so in our app, right after your Lugg is completed. Please make sure if you tipped them in cash to select 'No Tip' in our app or website to prevent a double tip.

Dolly offers labor-only services, which may be useful if you need help with packing but don't want to hire a truck. Lugg restricts you from traveling in the same vehicle as your stuff and does not offer labor-only services. Ken, on the other hand, offers more freedom in terms of packing and transporting your stuff.

A Lugg is only from A to B. We currently do not have anything in place to accommodate for multiple stops within a single trip. If you have multiple stops you'll have to schedule separate Luggs.

The cheapest way to move between states is to rent a truck and do the move yourself. Renting a truck can be more cost-effective than hiring cheap long-distance movers, as you will only pay for the time and distance of your trip.

In essence, a long-distance move typically involves crossing state lines or covering distances exceeding 400 miles within the same state. This distinction sets it apart from local moves and requires careful planning and coordination due to the significant distance involved.

Cons of Hiring a Moving Company
