I had David and Michael for moving out my college dorm. They were super efficient, shower up on time, and very courteous and professional. There was difficulty finding parking around my campus but David and Michael handled it like a pro!

Two of the best movers I have ever worked with. They were on time, courteous, and got the job done efficiently. They both went above and beyond to make sure I was satisfied. I would strongly recommend them both for all of my future moves. In addition to their professionalism, they both were personable and kind people. A great representation of Lugg. You are lucky to have great workers like Gabre & Ben on your team.

Marcos and Octavio went WAY above what was required and gave outstanding service!! They brought all of my furniture and boxes from two floors into a 3-story building, even took apart bed frames and reassembled them. They took great care in handling fragile items as well. Just exemplary service, very kind and friendly movers who were professional beyond belief. I HIGHLY recommend them to anyone, and great employees to be working for Lugg.

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.

MIRACLE WORKERS! I was so worried about bringing up my XL dresser to my new 5th story home and they made it happen with not a scratch on my furniture. So grateful they were my movers!!! Very professional, wrapped all belongings in blankets and movers wrap. Would love to use this dynamic duo again for future moves.

The movers were fine, but a glitch happened with your technology and told the movers I had cancelled when I had not, and that caused confusion, waste of time and frustration in getting it figured out and getting the furniture delivered. It’d be nice to have some acknowledgement and a discount for the inconvenience. Thanks

Couldn’t have asked for better movers than Max and Piero. Prompt, efficient and paid attention to detail. Extremely careful when moving my items. Would recommend to friends and family 👍🏼

Both gentlemen were extremely professional, on time, and quick on their toes when it came to finding creative ways to get my sofa into my apartment. They were open minded, communicative, and handled everything with confidence and care. I was honestly very nervous going into this, but they immediately made me feel comfortable and confident in trusting the service. Everything from their communication to their efficiency was excellent. I truly loved the entire experience and would absolutely use this service again. I sincerely hope I am able to request Gilbert and Glenroy in the future. They were outstanding movers and a great representation of your company. Thank you so much.

My feedback doesn’t have to do with the two actual movers who were lovely, but with the company, which is an absolute wreck! Will absolutely not be using again. For piece of mind and to save my own time, I chose to use lugg to transport one piece of furniture that I was purchasing from someone. Of course they didn’t even let me know until after my pickup window expired, through an automated text that it will be over an over before my item will even be picked up. The seller of my item left… meanwhile there’s no number to call! I spend over an hour trying to “chat” with “support” which took forever because there were severe gaps of time waiting for each response, just to further give me no helpful information. I begged the seller to come back and gave another time frame to lugg… (same day) AGAIN the same thing happened… after the time ran out, only then was I texted that it will be again over an hour before anyone will come to pick it up… again… nothing from a real person and I once again had to go through the dreaded chat. Terrible terrible terrible service. In the end I wasted way more time and money and got no peace of mind whatsoever!!!! It’s a shame because you’re doing your own workers a disservice. The movers were lovely.

The movers were great! For some reason after the mattress was picked up, I got a message that my delivery was canceled. It should have said confirmed but it said canceled. The delivery was not canceled and delivered with care. Thank you!

Cannot recommend Wilmer & Octavio enough! They were so helpful, expert movers, and went above and beyond to ensure my credenza made it safely. They even paid attention to detail to make sure it was perfectly level before leaving. 5 stars and will definitely utilize again. Thank you!!
