Ramiro and Aaron were punctual and worked quickly to remove a very heavy dresser from our home. They took the dresser to my brother-in-laws home nearby and worked directly with him to get it into his apartment and set up where he wanted it. Prompt, quick, efficient. Great work! - Richard

Truly the best movers. I’d give 10 stars if I could. Thank you!!! Hire them. They helped me fit in recliner couch. They asked if they could use their tools to remove door. They did! They then put it back appropriately. There has to be way to tip them on this app. I did get Jose’s phone number to tip him via Zelle as well if I can’t tip on app. These guys are professional, hire them!!! - Marika

I purchased two wrought iron tables from a seller on Facebook Marketplace. Ramiro and John provided professional service They arrived timely to the pickup location; loaded the tables into the van; and patiently waited with me while I waited for my Uber driver to pick me up and transport me to my apartment. Upon arrival of my Uber, Ramiro and John then followed my Uber car from the pickup location to my apartment, where they unloaded the two tables, delivered the tables to my apartment, and placed both tables in my apartment where I requested. This was of tremendous help to me as the tables are very heavy. - Tyra

The team was phenomenal. The scheduling was horrible. I had to take a day off work since the pickup was delayed almost 4 hours. I received a small a credit but for the amount of people I have referred and the times I've used Lugg personally this is absurd. The product was wrapped and ready to go and there is no way it took 49 mins to load as it took 11 to unload. I should be compensated for the 4 hour delay. NOT THE DRIVERS FAULT! At all! - Christopher
