I had specifically said in my order that it was a king sized mattress and needed to go up 5 flights of stairs. However, the team was only 2 and they couldn’t do it so I had to book 2 extra luggers which took an extra hour. And the cost ended up being more than double with the tips etc. - Nasser
Wanted to add to the tip so added here. Wonderful service. They were prompt and friendly and carried a couch up a steep flight of stairs without making any marks on the walls. Would definitely recommend them and use them again! - Ilya
They took such incredible care, even though picking up with traffic, even more traffic dropping off, issues with the seller, and my building's stairs. 10/10 would recommend!! - Rachel
I didn’t expect moving a 200 lb box down a hallway, down two flights of stairs and through two more rooms could be so easy. No theatrics, no special equipment, just sheer strength. Took less than 30 minutes! Nicest guys too. - Brian
Robert was great. Despite there being a mistake with the delivery address by me or the company he was patient and helpful loading up two flights of stairs. - Vittorio
Raheem & Phillip were friendly and reassuring. They were completely on top of things! I was sure the furniture was too heavy, but they had it upstairs in minutes! - Erika
Amazing team!! They moved a very heavy dresser up stairs and were safe and controlled the entire time. Would recommend them to anyone - Piper
Emmanuel and Noel were incredible - easy to coordinate with, good at problem solving, and upbeat and positive throughout the move. They hauled a heavy sofa bed up 3 flights of stairs with a smile in 90 degree heat. Would hire them again in a heartbeat! - Elizabeth
amazing workers. incredibly careful with the furniture and when it didn’t fit in the elevator, they brought it upstairs. super kind and helpful!!! 5 stars - amber
Adem was great! He showed up right away to help Lugg our stuff up 4 flights of stairs! He was positive, friendly, fast, and efficient. - Tammy
Robert was prompt and courteous and a great problem solver, between handling a tight parking and also my building's incredibly steep stairs. Big thank you to Robert!!! - Cesar
Diego & Cesar were nothing short of incredible! They moved my couch up a flight of stairs so speedily, I am amazed! - Ayelet
Both Bruno and Brett did a very nice job. My washing machine is a combo with dryer in one and its very heavy. They did not give up and did their best to get it moved to my new house. Going up and down the stairs was not easy but these two have teamwork. Thank you both for the hardwork! - Herbert
Had to get some furniture from IKEA. No regular UberX could fit the flatboxes, so needed a pickup truck and movers to help move them into my apartment (up 3 stairs) David & Nery - THANK YOU both so much! Efficient, quick, and easy. Tipped cash at end. - Bea
Brandon and David were great help in getting an extremely heavy gym equipment down the stairs in the basement. Thanks a lot. - Mona
Absolutely fantastic helpers. They were attentive and careful with my belongings. They carried a lot of stuff many flights of stairs and kept everything tidy as I asked them for. They were also friendly and professional. I’d absolutely recommend and hire them again. - Eric
We had a very very heavy item and 5 flights of stairs. Both men were super understanding and dealt with it, no questions asked. It was a huge relief for us to get this item and to have such good support. Thanks! - Francesca
Dwayne and Hotson are fast, efficient and super friendly! Took great care of the furniture (had wraps and padding to cover it) and were very patient. Went down three flights of stairs with super bulky stuff. The truck obviously fits a lot. I’ll definitely contact them directly if I ever need anything again. Strongly believe that any that needs help will have a great experience with them for sure!!🛻🥳 🍀 - Matthew
Completely wowed by the Lugg service . Had two large chairs ( 40x40 boxes ) to be picked from west elm . Shipping was $279 but Lugg did it for $55 !! And right on time , excellent service!! The Lugg employee has wheels too so don’t have to lift the box except for stairs . Overall , cannot wait to use the service again !! - SHWETA
Diego was very fast, efficient, strong and friendly! He was amazing! I had a lot more stuff than I anticipated and he moved it all by himself up and down flights of stairs! I was so impressed! - Mystral
Ashton and Edward were amazing! They went above and beyond to get our massive couch up the stairs and into our place. Couldn't be happier! - Grant
I had a great experience with this mcompany. They were professional, on time, and handled my furniture with a lot of care. The movers were efficient and worked quickly while still making sure everything was protected and transported safely. Moving heavy pieces and navigating stairs wasn’t easy, but they managed it without any issues. I really appreciated how smooth they made the whole process. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for reliable movers. - Christine
Wilmer and Henry were SO great. They worked together to get my couch up 5 flights of stairs seamlessly, and made it look easy. They wrapped the couch and went above and beyond. Couldn’t recommend them more!!! ILY! - Joey
Dmetry and Justice were impressive with their dedication to getting the job done. They communicated with each other so patiently even when it was difficult. They took time and care to ensure each piece of furniture was handled well, and they gave their all to getting an unruly armoire up the stairs. Very kind and helpful. - Elle

These Salvation Army locations are in the Harlem, NY area. Tap one to start an instant donation pickup estimate with Lugg.
Enter your addresses to see your prices and schedule your move
Put your ZIP into the Salvation Army's scheduler and you may be told pickup isn't available in your area, with a list of drop-off locations offered instead. That happens even inside metros where they run plenty of stores, because collection is arranged ZIP by ZIP rather than offered everywhere. Where a truck does cover you it's free, though the next open slot isn't yours to choose. Lugg is an on-demand moving and delivery platform in Harlem where you book local movers to collect donations from your door and deliver them to the Salvation Army you choose, for the addresses a charity truck doesn't reach and the days you can't wait for one.
The Salvation Army names clothing, furniture, household goods and appliances among its commonly donated items, but publishes no single nationwide list of what's accepted and what isn't. Because collection and drop-off are run locally, the items they take change with whatever center you're donating to. Call your local one before you plan on it, because their crew can still decline something at the door if it turns up damaged or below their standards, and what one center takes doesn't mean another will.
This is the question people actually search: will they take the heavy thing? A charity crew works to its own limits on weight, stairs and condition, and a sleeper sofa on a third floor is where a free pickup most often turns into a no. Lugg movers carry it out, up stairs, into elevators and down long hallways, and you choose the truck for the load rather than hoping the one that shows up is big enough.
One booking holds up to five stops, so the clothes and housewares can reach the Salvation Army while the piece they declined goes on to a charity that takes it, or to a recycling or disposal site. Booking on demand puts movers on the way within the hour, same-day slots run in one-hour blocks, and you can schedule up to 60 days out. Plan the stops when you book and they're in the estimate you see before you commit.
Enter your address and the Salvation Army's address and the estimate appears before you commit to anything. There are no hourly minimums, so a forty-minute donation run is billed as forty minutes, not rounded up to a two-hour block. Small items must be bagged or boxed before pickup.
Lugg can deliver most donation items, including furniture, appliances, clothing, and household goods, as long as they're in good, reusable condition suitable for donation.
Tip: Before booking your Lugg, double-check your local Salvation Army donation centers acceptance policy and drop-off hours in Harlem.
Absolutely, Lugg can drop off your donations at any local charity, nonprofit, thrift store, or community donation center in Harlem, not just major organizations like Goodwill, Salvation Army, or Habitat for Humanity.
Yes, Lugg can load and deliver several donation items or boxes at once, as long as everything fits safely in the truck. For multi-stop donation runs, you can add up to 5 stops per Lugg when booking.
Lugg's weight limit is 125 lbs per Lugger, or 250 lbs per item on any vehicle that comes with two Luggers: Pickup, Van, XL, Box or Box+. Anything heavier needs more Luggers on the job, so book a second Lugg for the same time window. There's no limit on how many items you move, and size comes down to which vehicle you choose.
Yes, smaller items like clothing, linens, or kitchenware should be packed in sturdy boxes or bags for transport. Having your items packed and ready helps your movers complete your donation pickup faster and keeps smaller items secure during transport. Your Luggers can wrap and protect furniture and large items for safe transport.
Not every donation center accepts all items, we always recommend calling ahead of time and confirming they are able to take your items. If the selected Salvation Army donation center cannot accept your items, your Luggers will contact you to coordinate another destination or return option. Standard rates apply for rerouting or additional stops.
Tip: Donation centers often reach capacity later in the day. To avoid delays or rejections, we recommend booking a morning arrival window and calling ahead to confirm that your location is still accepting donations.
Items may be declined if they're broken, stained, torn, missing parts, or unsafe. Most donation centers also reject old TVs, mattresses, or large appliances due to health or recycling restrictions.
To prevent your item(s) from being rejected, we recommend calling ahead to your Salvation Army donation drop-off center in Harlem to ensure that the location accepts your items.
Yes, for estate cleanouts, office donations, or community drives in Harlem, you can book as many Luggs as needed for pickup and delivery to your chosen Salvation Army donation location. Luggers will ensure items are delivered to your selected donation partners safely and efficiently. For multi-stop donation runs, you can add up to 5 stops per Lugg.
Yes, Lugg can haul away most items that charities or donation centers won't accept to a local recycling or disposal center in Harlem. You can also combine a donation drop-off with a haul-away or disposal stop in one Lugg.
Tip: Not every recycling or disposal facility accepts all items, so we recommend calling ahead to confirm their hours, accepted items, and any potential fees.
Upon request and when available, Luggers can send you a photo confirmation as proof of donation. For official tax receipts, you'll need to get documentation directly from the Salvation Army donation center or charity at drop-off.
Yes, with Lugg you can book on-demand, same-day, and next-day Salvation Army donation pickups. Movers and a truck can arrive within the hour, or you can schedule up to 60 days in advance for a time that works best for you.
Pick the truck that fits what you're moving. Almost every option is a two-Lugger booking, so crew size isn't usually the decision — the Lugg Lite is the exception.
Tip: Pickup trucks carry a tarp for light rain, but book an enclosed truck — Van, XL, Box or Box+ — if heavier rain is forecast. When in doubt, size up.
Not all box trucks have a lift gate. If your Salvation Army donation pickup needs one, say so in the 'What are you moving?' field when booking and Lugg will do its best to accommodate.
We recommend that you or someone 18 years or older be present to provide access and confirm which items to take. However, you can also arrange a contactless donation pickup if items are placed safely outside or in an accessible area, just include those details in your Lugg booking.
Yes, you'll need to pack before your crew arrives, because Lugg doesn't provide packing services or supplies. Box or bag any small, loose or fragile items, including kitchenware, electronics accessories, office supplies and anything that could shift in transit.
Your Luggers bring moving supplies and equipment to protect furniture and larger pieces, but having your things packed ahead of time keeps your donation pickup quick, organized and damage-free.
Every Lugg Salvation Army donation pickup in Harlem includes professional moving equipment, straps, dollies, moving blankets, and stretch wrap to protect your items and your space, plus a basic toolkit for light disassembly or reassembly. Pickup trucks also come equipped with a tarp for weather protection. Your Luggers will wrap fragile or bulky pieces for safe transport, take care to avoid damage to floors, walls, and elevators, and know how to get heavy furniture, appliances, and other large items through tight spaces, stairs, and doorways. This helps ensure a smooth, efficient Salvation Army donation pickup from start to finish. We do not provide moving boxes or mattress covers. Please have these items ready if needed.
