Memorial Day weekend is the unofficial start to summer. The weather’s heating up, store sales are everywhere, and your group chat is already buzzing with backyard BBQ plans.
Then it happens—you find the perfect grill. Maybe it’s a big-box sale. Maybe it’s a last-minute steal on Facebook Marketplace. Either way, it’s yours… if you can figure out how to get it home.
That’s when the logistics hit: “Wait—will this even fit in my car?”

Why Memorial Day Weekend is the best time to buy a grill or patio set
If you’ve been waiting for the right moment to upgrade your outdoor space, Memorial Day weekend is it. Retailers from The Home Depot and Lowe’s to Target and Costco roll out major discounts on:
- Grills and smokers
- Outdoor sectionals and dining sets
- Fire pits, shade umbrellas, and loungers
- Portable coolers and outdoor accessories
It’s also the perfect weekend for scoring secondhand furniture and gear—with local listings on Facebook Marketplace, OfferUp, or Craigslist full of people moving, decluttering, or simply swapping out their setup before summer.
The only catch? Most of this stuff won’t fit in the back of a sedan.
Buying big doesn’t mean you need a truck
You’re not alone if you’ve ever fallen in love with something in-store or online and then realized it’s… massive. Whether it’s a 4-burner grill with side tables or a six-piece patio set, that excitement can quickly turn into a game of car Tetris.
And while you could try to borrow a truck or rent one for a few hours, that adds extra time, coordination, and stress—on what’s supposed to be your relaxing long weekend.
Good news: *you* don’t need a truck to bring big items home.

Get your grill home—without lifting a finger (or scratching your car)
With on-demand delivery services like Lugg, you can schedule a crew to head to the store (or pick up from a seller), load up the item safely, and deliver it wherever you need—same-day.
Bonus: Luggers will carry it through the side gate, up a few stairs, or into your backyard so it’s exactly where you want it. No awkward lifting. No last-minute calls to a friend with a truck.
What to know before picking up a arill or outdoor furniture
A quick checklist to make your pickup and delivery smooth:
- Know the dimensions (especially width and height, if it's pre-assembled)
- Ask if it comes with accessories (propane tank, tools, cover)
- Double-check if it’s assembled or in a box (affects handling & space)
- Choose a delivery time that works for your BBQ plans
Pro tip: If you’re buying from Facebook Marketplace, ask the seller to leave it outside or in the garage for easy pickup.
