Michael and Emmanuel seriously went above and beyond. They both introduced themselves, advised on the setup, and went out of their way to deliver my HEAVY stainless steel table up to my condo. I’ve never had such incredible, thorough, and friendly customer service from movers. Felt more like friends delivering my table. Couldn’t ask for anything more! - Colin

Soooo good!! These two movers were absolutely amazing!! They made my move go so smoothly from start to finish. They were incredibly friendly, professional, and super efficient. Everything was handled with great care, and they worked so quickly while still being very organized. They really took a lot of the stress out of moving for me. I’m so grateful for their help and would highly recommend them to anyone. Thank you both so much!! ;) - Yunqing

Jerome and Jahlil were really good movers under difficult circumstances. The pieces to be moved were in a house that was being refurbished, and boxes and furniture made maneuvering tricky and problem solving necessary. They patiently made their way through and got the things loaded. At delivery all went smoothly and my daughter was very pleased with their work. I’ll definitely use LUGG again and have already told a couple of friends about this service! - Cathleen

First experience using Lugg to move a white sofa I bought on FB marketplace. Very impressed with sophistication of these movers! They wrapped the couch in plastic, sealed up the cushions in clean containers and had two dollies. I think we tend to underestimate weight/size of items we want to move but im so glad I opted for the van vs truck and 2 guys versus opting to be the helper for a discount. It did add about 40% to the cost of my couch but still a deal. - Terra

PODS loading and unloading in Near Northeast: movers for the container in your driveway
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 service that loads and unloads portable storage containers in Near Northeast, same day, for people who've already got the container and need the lifting done.
Who loads a PODS container?
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 Lugg for: the crew, without the truck. Enter your address as both the pickup and the destination, choose the crew size you need, 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 tap Edit Truck or Arrival Time on the booking and move it to another day or time, any time before the crew is dispatched.
Moving to another state? PODS drives it, Lugg loads it
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.
The carry from your door to the container
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.
Load it in the order you'll unpack it
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.
