Pankaj and Rate were wonderful. They strategized and organized the placement of three heavy items in my truck and strapped the whole thing very well so that I would be safe on the freeway. I’ve used Lugg 5 or 6 times in the past year and always been more than satisfied. It made my day today to get these items moved. Pankaj and Rate’s help made the whole process possible and they were light hearted and positive all the way through. - Leigh

Really appreciated Jose and Francesco doing the heavy lifting for me today, they even adjusted the placement of the heavy dresser once planted as the fabric underneath wasn’t centered. Great guys!

We thought they both were awesome. Very professional, very careful with our stuff and they were quick. We had some very heavy things and they handled it well. We tipped them $50 and I wanted to tip more so I’m happy I could add more here. I will be using you guys again. I’d like to mention that I had ordered the help only two days ago. Ours was not a move to another house yet but getting ready to stage the house and we needed to move a lot of things into our garage and upstairs ADU. The Lugg service was exactly what we needed. Thank you so much! - Lynmichelle

Ummm one of them seemed very tired, inexperienced and I was surprised the wore backless crocs to move a heavy mattress up and down stairs. I’m guessing that was coree. But they got it done.

Movers only in Oakland: labor-only moving help when you just need movers
Sometimes the job needs people, not a truck. You need help loading a moving truck you rented or the PODS in the driveway, a sleeper sofa has to get up three flights of stairs, you're rearranging furniture before a showing, the tables and chairs need setting up for an event, or everything has to clear a room for new floors and come back once they've cured. Lugg is an on-demand moving and delivery service that offers Movers only in Oakland, labor-only moving help you can book the same day for any job that stays at one address. Some people call them load-only movers.
How to book Movers only
The Movers only button sits right under your address. Tap it, choose how many movers the job needs, and pick a time, and the price shows before anything is booked. It works the same way in the Lugg app and on the web, and it's the quickest way to hire moving help without arranging a truck.
Can you hire movers by the hour?
Yes, and finer than that. Lugg bills moving labor by the minute, so a 40-minute job pays for 40 minutes of labor instead of the two-to-four-hour block most moving companies charge for. The base fare depends on the crew size you pick, and with nothing traveling between two addresses there's no mileage. Running long is fine too: the same rate simply continues.
What Movers only covers, and when to book a standard Lugg
Movers fill or empty a rental truck, a PODS or a storage unit, carry a single heavy item to another room or floor, like a treadmill down to the basement or a mattress up a staircase, and take on any job where you need help moving furniture without going anywhere. They show up with a dolly, blankets, straps and stretch wrap, and they can take a bed frame apart and put it back together in the room it's going in. For a PODS or a U-Box, the container pages cover what to have ready.
Two buildings in one complex count too, as long as everything can be carried across on foot. If anything has to ride in a vehicle to get where it's going, book a standard Lugg instead and your movers bring the vehicle.
