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

10 STARS!!! Cannot say enough about Orandae. He was tasked with loading an impossibly heavy wardrobe (which was described - inaccurately - to me as "very light"). He was so incredibly kind and patient, and somehow never stopped smiling. He helped troubleshoot setting the wardrobe up (it came in multiple pieces) and even spent his time helping us level it to make sure it wouldn't tip over. DEFINITELY went above and beyond, and on his way out the door wished me a happy Mother's Day. I hope Lugg recognizes him - what a great guy. Start to finish the best service I could have hoped for. - Cary

They personally were very helpful and nice. And curious and worked well. I tipped them on site. I had a a lot of bags and a little furniture and they chose to put the bags in the truck first and they ran out of space. They needed to put the heavy furniture and the lighter bags and art etc in around and on top of the furniture instead. We had to use our own 2 cars to finish the job. That was the only issue that wasn’t troublesome. Thanks - Rhonda

U-Haul U-Box loading and unloading in New York City: movers for the container in your driveway
A U-Box is U-Haul's portable storage container — it turns up empty, you fill it, and it gets hauled to wherever it's going next. The filling is a labor job and it isn't part of the container rental, which is why people go looking for movers separately. Lugg is an on-demand moving and delivery service that loads and unloads portable storage containers in New York City, same day, for anyone who's already got the container and needs the lifting done.
What is a U-Box, and who loads it?
It's a container U-Haul delivers to your address and collects when you're done, sized for part of a home rather than a whole truckload. The loading is yours to arrange, and that's the part Lugg does. Enter your address, 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 U-Haul's delivery slips, tap Edit Truck or Arrival Time on the booking and move it to another day, any time before the crew is dispatched.
No two-hour minimum on a U-Box load
U-Haul's own Moving Help marketplace books labor in blocks: two hours minimum, ten maximum, and unused hours aren't refunded if the crew finishes early. Lugg bills labor by the minute with no minimum at all, so a U-Box that takes fifty minutes to load costs fifty minutes. If it runs longer than you planned, the crew keeps working at the same per-minute rate.
Where your U-Box actually is
U-Haul gives you three ways to get one, and each changes the address you enter when you book. If it's delivered to your place, the container and your things are at the same address, so put that address in both fields. If you towed it home on U-Haul's trailer, same thing. If you're packing it at a U-Haul location instead, that's two addresses: your home for the pickup, the U-Haul lot for the drop-off.
Loading at one end, unloading at the other
A container gets filled in one place and emptied in another, so it's normally two Luggs rather than one, booked whenever each end actually happens. Load it before U-Haul comes to collect it. Book the unload once it's been delivered to the new address, which might be weeks later and a long way from the first crew.
