Dark mode is finally here on the Lugg app and website. Easier on your eyes at night. Better for battery life on OLED screens. And, honestly, it just looks good. See what’s new: lu.gg/dark-mode-x

Switching apartments in the same building this season? You can book a move without leaving the address. Set pickup and drop-off to the same place. Your Luggers will move things between floors, rooms or units. Useful for a complex switch, or getting a couch up two flights after you've already bought it.

Moving this weekend? If your plants drop leaves in the first few days, that's normal. Ficus and hydrangea are the dramatic ones. It's usually just stress from the change in light and humidity. Keep the watering and light steady and most come back on their own.

Just moved and staring at the stuff that didn't make the cut? If you're donating furniture, go in the morning. Donation centers fill up as the day goes on and start turning things away once they hit capacity. Worth a quick call first. Most can't take anything broken, stained or torn, and many won't take old TVs, mattresses or appliances.

Buying off Marketplace and sending someone else to collect it? You don't have to pay on trust. Your Luggers can get eyes on the item when they arrive and send you photos or video through the app. You see the actual thing, not the listing photos, before you pay.

Lugg sends two movers and a truck, usually within the hour, for the things that don't fit in a car. A couch up three flights. A Marketplace pickup across town. A mattress that has to get home today. You pick the vehicle and the arrival time. The median couch move runs about $140.

Worth buying during Labor Day sales: Mattresses, 20-40% off. This and Presidents' Day are the two best mattress weekends of the year. Patio and outdoor, 40-60% off, and that window holds through October. Sofas, dining sets and bedroom furniture run around 10-15% this weekend. The deeper markdowns on those come with the inventory changeovers - January and February for sofas and dining, July and August for bedroom, at 25-50%. Worth knowing, unless you find a store running a real event or pop-up, where the floor deals can beat the calendar. Floor models are 25-50% off any time of year, because that specific piece needs to leave. If you find one this weekend, the discount is real. One logistics note: clearance and floor-model pieces are usually cash and carry, and you have about 24 hours to get it out. Everything else is quoting six to eight weeks on upholstered right now, because sale weekends are when the delivery calendar fills.

Just used @lugg for my move to Williamsburg, and the previous tenant of my new apartment used my Lugg movers to haul her stuff to Bed Stuy after I dropped my stuff off. Total effective cost was cut in half. 10/10 would recommend. It's like Uber Pool for moving

nobody has ever reached the third-floor landing carrying a dresser and thought hiring movers would’ve been a waste of money.
