Really great guys! I would hire them right off the bat next time. They worked well as a team, professionally, and efficiently! - Danielle

These guys were excellent both of them and very polite and extremely quick and efficient. I love your service now and I would love to have guys like this anytime I can get them! Please tell them how much I enjoyed working with them. - Anne

Thanks, guys. You don’t know happy I am to have these things in my apartment now. I appreciate what you do! - John

Khali and Farshid were prompt. There was easy communication about the job. Khali and Farshid were pros. I could tell they have moved a LOT of things. They thought outside the box on a possibly difficult job and made it quick and easy. I hope they come back for the second job! - Kristin

Showed up on time (just a little bit early, even, but the app tracked them accurately and made sure I knew what was going on and could adjust). Really appreciate that they worked smart and efficiently. They took care with my furniture while also demonstrating a sense of urgency that showed that they understood I was on a tight budget. Would request them again in future if the app allowed me to choose my Lugg crew. Thanks! - Jeff

Absolutely AMAZING service! Highly recommend! I cannot say enough great things about these two movers! They truly saved the day for me when I was in a serious last-minute bind! I needed help unloading a freight shipment into a storage unit on extremely short notice, and I was blown away by how quickly they arrived and how efficiently they worked. They had the entire shipment unloaded and safely moved into storage in approximately 30 minutes! What impressed me even more was their professionalism and communication. I was coordinating everything remotely and couldn’t be there in person, but they made the entire process incredibly easy and stress-free. The transporter onsite also had nothing but positive things to say about their work! They sent photos to confirm everything was completed and even went above and beyond by checking in with the storage facility’s front office and returning the lock and keys as requested. They were fast, reliable, efficient, professional, and incredibly accommodating. They took what could have been a logistical nightmare and turned it into one of the smoothest experiences I could have asked for! I would 100% book them again without hesitation and recommend them to absolutely anyone looking for dependable moving help. These two were fantastic, and I am beyond grateful for their help! THANK YOU BOTH SO MUCH!! - Paloma

Thank you Kareem and Clinton for making it so much easier to empty our mother’s apartment! Your cheerfulness and expertise were much appreciated. - Molly

The guys were so organized and calm and kind. They had creative solutions for all of our problems. They weren't phased by me being flustered by all my clutter and boxes. 5 stars, I highly recommend! - Sarah

Alfredo and Billy were amazing! They were on time, super efficient and a real lifesaver in a pinch. Much appreciated. I would definitely use Lugg again.  - Jordan

I’m very happy with the work they did. There was a lot of items to move inside our house and they were very efficient and careful. I’d definitely hire them again! - Lawrence

Quentin and Juan were AMAZING!!! They worked SO hard and went above and beyond to fit EVERYTHING in our pod— even more than we were expecting! They were friendly and did it all with a smile. I would hire them again in a heartbeat and will recommend to all of our friends. - Rachel

John & Marcelo were friendly and efficient. They made a stressful move painless. I appreciated their work effort. Thank you ! - Laurianne

Lloyd and Douglas were amazing. Very efficient, respectful and expert team. We had two very heavy items they got upstairs and placed where we asked. 10/10! - Sarah

Noquisi was the most amazing helper I’ve ever had. He stayed way above and beyond and would not leave until the job is finished. Appreciate it so much. - K

We loved working with Rakeen and Quise! They were friendly, easy to work with, and moved many big items with ease and care. Thank you! - Catherine

Thank you for your help! You were pros at helping to get a chunky and heavy desk down and around narrow stairs. - Gina

Pankaj and Rate were wonderful. They strategized and organized the placement of three heavy items in my truck and strapped the whole thing very well so that I would be safe on the freeway. I’ve used Lugg 5 or 6 times in the past year and always been more than satisfied. It made my day today to get these items moved. Pankaj and Rate’s help made the whole process possible and they were light hearted and positive all the way through. - Leigh

These guys are the Best! They knew exactly how to maneuver the couch to get it easily out the door. They arrived on time and worked so quickly. I would use them again in a heartbeat. This is an invaluable service. - Michele

Great guys--friendly, professional, and hard-working. Figured out some pretty clever maneuvers to get all the furniture where it needed to go. - Abe

Chris was the absolute BEST! He was friendly efficient and made sure the delivery and the setup was done correctly. I’m very appreciative of his service - Cathleen

Thomas & Scott were friendly and got the heavy lifting done quickly. I would definitely hire them again. - Jenn

I love their sense of urgency and appreciation of billing time. There was a delay due to the delivery of a pod but they never stoop around looking to be organized and ready. True gentleman. I felt that I was in good hands and sage. - carol

Argeney and Victor were top notch movers. They have a kind and honest vibe before they even speak. They moved my mattress with incredible ease and care. I would absolutely want them to help me with any of my moving needs going forward. - Chris

The movers were great and did the most they could out of the situation. However, the small moving van I had ordered never came and instead a 24ft giant moving truck came which significantly delayed the whole process as it did not fit in the original location, parking, or loading/unloading areas. - Julia

Loading and unloading a PODS container is a labor job, and it's the part the container delivery leaves out: PODS drops the container off and hauls it away, and everything that goes into it or comes out of it is down to you or to movers you hire. That work is essentially two separate moving days without the drive: boxes and furniture carried out of the house and stacked tight so nothing shifts on the road, then the whole container emptied at the other end and each piece carried to the room it belongs in. Lugg is an on-demand moving and delivery platform where you book local movers to load and unload portable storage containers in Cambridge with Movers only, same day, for people who've already got the container and need the lifting done.
You do, or you hire it out. PODS delivers the container to your address and comes back for it, and the loading in between isn't part of that. "Help loading a pod" is exactly what people book Movers only for: the movers, with no truck to book. Enter your address, tap Movers only, pick your crew size, and movers can be on the way in as little as an hour, or scheduled up to 60 days in advance. If the container turns up late, you can move the booking to another day or time, any time before the crew is dispatched.
Most people renting a container are moving a long way, and that's the appeal. PODS hauls it so nobody has to drive a truck across the country. Lugg is the local half at each end. A crew loads the container while it's sitting on your driveway, PODS takes it from there, and a second crew empties it once it's been delivered to the new address. So a container move is typically booked as two Luggs rather than one, often weeks apart and in two different cities.
PODS puts the container where its truck can reach. That's a driveway, a parking space, sometimes the street, and rarely right outside your door. On a container job the carry is usually what takes the time, more than the stacking does: a long driveway, a walk out to a shared lot, or a flight of stairs before you even get outside.
Everything at the back of the container comes out last, so what goes in first matters more here than on a truck you're emptying the same afternoon. Off-season clothes, books and the garage go deep. The kettle, the bedding and the tools you'll want on the first night stay near the doors. Point out which boxes those are and the crew will stack around them.

Anything that stays at one address. Customers book Movers only to:
It also works between two buildings in the same complex, as long as your movers can carry everything over without a truck. If your things need to ride in a vehicle to get there, book a standard Lugg and your movers bring the vehicle.
Book Movers only in Cambridge, Lugg's option for jobs that stay at one address. Enter your address, tap Movers only underneath it, then pick your crew size and a time. If you type the same address as both your pickup and your drop-off, the app suggests Movers only for you. There's no truck to book, and you'll see your upfront estimate before you confirm.
The clock starts when the crew arrives at your address and stops when the last thing you asked for is done. Lugg bills that time by the minute with no minimum, so a 40-minute job costs 40 minutes. If the work finishes faster than you planned you only pay for what you used, and if it runs longer the crew can keep working at the same per-minute rate.
You don't book a block of time, so it helps to have a rough idea of what jobs take:
The estimator in the Lugg app or on lugg.com works out an estimated cost from the crew size you pick and the time you expect.
Yes, single-item jobs are one of the most common reasons people book Movers only in Cambridge. A sleeper sofa that has to go upstairs, a treadmill that has to get down to the basement, a safe that needs to move one room over: all of them are hard or unsafe to do alone. And because labor is billed by the minute with no hourly minimum, a fifteen-minute job pays for fifteen minutes of labor on top of the base fare.
After you tap Movers only, the Crew screen asks you to pick 1 Lugger or 2 Luggers. 1 Lugger has the lower base fare and the lower per-minute labor rate, and suits a job one person can handle, like carrying boxes or moving lighter furniture. Pick 2 Luggers for anything that takes two people to carry, like a sofa, a dresser or a washer.
Weight is the other thing to check. Lugg's weight limit is 125 lbs per Lugger, or 250 lbs per item when you pick 2 Luggers.
If the job needs a bigger crew than that, book a second Movers only Lugg at the same address for the same time window. Each booking has its own base fare and per-minute labor, and Movers only has no mileage fee.
Even on a Movers only job in Cambridge, your Luggers arrive with their own equipment: a dolly, moving blankets, stretch wrap, tie-down straps, forearm lifting straps, and a basic toolkit for light disassembly and reassembly. For a job where the crew both loads and unloads, you don't need to supply anything.
They work to avoid marking floors, walls and elevators, and they're used to getting heavy furniture and appliances through tight doorways, up stairs and around landings.
Yes, Luggers load and unload rental trucks, PODS containers and storage units in Cambridge every day. They know how to pack a load so it uses the space it has and doesn't shift on the drive — heavy pieces low and flat against the walls, padding between anything that can rub.
One thing to plan for when the crew is loading but not unloading: their moving blankets are their own equipment and go back with them at the end of the job. If you want your furniture padded for the drive, or for a few months in storage, have your own blankets ready and the crew will use those. They'll bring stretch wrap either way, and anything loose should be boxed and taped before they arrive.
No, Lugg does not provide packing or unpacking services. On a Movers only job, Luggers handle the heavy lifting: carrying, loading and unloading, placing furniture where you want it, and basic assembly and disassembly. Have loose items like dishes, books and clothes boxed and taped before the crew arrives, since Lugg doesn't supply boxes or packing materials. Because labor is billed by the minute, having everything ready to go is also the cheapest way to book.
