Brandon and Timothy were both extremely kind, professional, and helpful. Instead of potentially hurting myself, friends, and family, moving it ourselves, they came and got a very heavy ping pong table down stairs and around a corner like the pros they are. Would definitely hire their help again. - Grant
Malik and Dwight were great handling a difficult, four-stop job involving delicate furniture, heavy and odd shaped items, and lots of stairs. They were friendly, timely, and professional, and I highly recommend them! - Erin
They did a fabulous job. One of my dressers is really heavy and two previous movers struggled to carry it but they lifted it with ease. - Courtney
Fitz and Amir were great. The piece they moved was incredible long and heavy. It was not an easy job but they got it done. Thanks guys!!! - Moira
I used Lugg to move 3 heavy items from my daughter’s apartment to another one. They were on time and expedited the move efficiently. Lugg also quickly resolve an issue I encountered. - Paula
They arrived at pickup and destination exactly on time. There was some confusion with pickup times given by the furniture store, and Jamar and Cameron were completely flexible and easy going. The sofa was a bit of a heavy load and the doorway needed to have parts removed to make the delivery more accessible. Jamar was quick to come up with a solution and never seemed stressed. - Roger
Cannot say thank you enough to the team. The mirror we were moving was by no ways easy. It was 7 feet and very heavy. The team took their time. Made sure to protect the mirror and moved it effortlessly. Thank you again! Cannot say enough good things. - Dan
Excellent experience with Jamar and Luis were! They were very kind, polite, and took great care in moving a large and heavy piece of furniture. I appreciated the quick call to confirm when they arrived for pickup and drop off. - Cindy
Tiras and Eddie handled a very heavy item extremely professionally and carefully. Thanks for handling this difficult move so well! - James

Josue and Jesse did a great job picking up and setting up three very heavy items from Costco. They were prompt, communicative and got the job done well! Many thanks!! - An
Eileen and Westley were great!! They carried a heavy piece of furniture up my stairs with no problem and were very friendly - Rachel
They helped me move some really heavy batteries downstairs to my basement from my garage. Awesome work guys. - Garry
I ordered a heavy piece of furniture. Antonio and Denis were very polite and worked quickly to get the furniture up a flight of steps. Very nice job. Communication was great! - Joe
Tyrone and Ryan were so helpful and professional and kind. They helped me move a really heavy couch up narrow stairs for me. I would definitely hire them again! - Brook
They were very quick and organized. They carried my heavy desk up two flights of stairs with no issue. - Katherine
They were efficient, timely, and considerate! They went above and beyond to fit the pieces in one load, and I appreciated them so much hauling a heavy recliner set on a hot day. - Calley
Bashaar and Ryan were super professional and creative when coordinating my Facebook Marketplace order of a super heavy marble table. Highly recommend!! - Mikayla
Adamm and Keyserling were Most Excellent! They showed up exactly on time and carried the long heavy IKEA packages to the 3rd floor- , figuring out how to get around the tight corners with no problem! It was all totally professional and efficient . I am so grateful for their help - and to discover Lugg. What a wonderful app. Would definitely recommend. - Nell
Best. Experience. Ever. Ryan is hands down the best helper mover I’ve ever interacted with. Super efficient!! We had at least 15 pieces of heavy suitcases/boxes/bags and 2 small furniture, and completed the entire move-out and move-in process within 40 minutes! Also, Ryan is such a nice person!! Always thinking about how to get the work done in the shortest amount of time possible and being really strategic (haha) about taking what pieces first and etc… also so patient and understanding and easy-going. Best experience ever! This is my first time and definitely not the last time using Lugg! And best of luck to Ryan! Thanks again!! - Em
They were punctual, professional, extremely nice, and frankly I never saw movers so fast and efficient in my life! It was amazing watching them work together and move heavy boxes so easily and with attention to safety. 👍👍👍 - Omar
They were very good about communicating and were on time. They were super nice. They worked really hard to get a heavy bulky piece up to our apartment. - Nancy
Ryan was a delight. He double checked the # of boxes before leaving the store, arrived quickly, was super nice (the dogs liked him), and he helped us move heavy things up a flight of stairs. Great experience. - Jennifer

Lugg is an on-demand moving and delivery platform in Philadelphia where you book local movers to carry upright, console, spinet and digital pianos to a new home, up or down a flight of stairs, or home from a seller.
Upright piano movers carry it standing. A full upright can stand up to 60 inches tall, taller than a Van's 4.5 ft cargo area, so book a Pickup, XL or Box for one of those. Lugg movers bring dollies, furniture blankets, stretch wrap and straps to every job.
Lugg's weight limit is 125 lbs per Lugger, so up to 250 lbs on any vehicle that comes with two Luggers. Most acoustic pianos weigh more than that, so book a second Lugg for the same time window and both arrive together for the lift. Use the type of piano to decide:
Not sure which you have? The maker's name is usually above the keys, and looking up the model will give you its weight. If it's borderline, someone you know can be there at both ends to help the crew instead.
Piano moving services with Lugg are priced on three things you can see before you book: the truck you pick, the distance between your addresses, and how long the job takes on site. Each Lugg you add for the weight is its own booking with its own estimate, and a long staircase adds time on site.
Luggers will always make their best attempt on stairs. A narrow or steep staircase adds complexity, though, and may need a second Lugg, so measure the stairwell and every turn before you book. Before they arrive, close and lock the lid so the keys stay covered, and move the bench separately.
Lugg movers can move a baby grand or a grand within the same home, room to room or lifted so a rug can go underneath, as long as it fits through every doorway and turn and enough Luggers are booked for the weight. A grand that's leaving the building is a job for a specialist piano mover, because the legs and lyre come off and the body travels on its side on a piano board.
Free pianos are common on Craigslist and Facebook Marketplace, usually on the condition that you get it out yourself. Ask the seller for photos of the stairs and doorway before you book, so you know which truck and how many Luggs you need. If you're paying for it, settle up with the seller before the crew arrives, since Luggers can't pay on your behalf.
Plan to have the piano tuned two to four weeks after the move, once it has settled into the new room's temperature and humidity. Luggers move the instrument and aren't piano technicians, so tuning and repairs go to a piano technician.
The easiest way to move a piano in Philadelphia without renting a truck is by booking Lugg. We provide movers and a truck on demand — no truck rental, deposits, or driving required. Your Luggers handle all the lifting, transport, and room-of-choice placement.
The standard weight limit is 250 lbs per item for a 2-Lugger booking. Many large items like hot tubs, pool tables, and pianos exceed this — for those, book additional Luggers or have someone available to help, for safe handling.
Yes, Lugg can pick up and deliver from big-box stores like Home Depot and HomeGoods, local shops, and from online marketplace sellers on platforms such as Facebook Marketplace or Craigslist in Philadelphia.
At the destination, your Luggers will deliver your piano to your room of choice and place it right where you want it.
Yes, the standard weight limit is 125 lbs per item per Lugger. Many large items like hot tubs, pool tables, and pianos exceed this, and for those, we recommend booking multiple crews, or having someone available to help the crew.
Yes, with Lugg you can book true on-demand piano moves in Philadelphia, with movers arriving within the hour. That means you can have movers pick up and deliver your bulky item the same day you buy it. You can also schedule up to 60 days in advance, perfect for coordinating deliveries.
Lugg prices every booking as a base fare for the vehicle you pick, a per-mile rate for the distance between your stops, and labor billed by the minute with no hourly minimum. You'll see your upfront estimate before you book, including a small variable booking fee, and rates vary by city.
The vehicle you pick sets most of the price, so a single piece of furniture in a Lite or Pickup costs much less than a full apartment in a Box. Routes over 30 miles add a long-distance fee, which is already in your estimate, and a Movers only job has no mileage at all.
Yes, you are responsible for securing safe and legal parking for your piano move. If a permit is required at your location in Philadelphia, please arrange it in advance. If safe parking isn't available, your Lugg may need to be canceled and your move rescheduled. Please note that wait time is billable.
Yes, every Lugg booking includes room-of-choice placement for your piano move. Just let your Luggers know where you'd like your item(s) placed. Please note that we do not provide mounting or installation services.
Make sure there's a clear 3–4 ft path, measure any tight spaces, protect floors, and secure pets. If your building requires it, reserve elevators or loading docks ahead of time. Keep your phone nearby so you don't miss live updates or crew messages during your move.
We always recommend inspecting your piano upon arrival. In the rare event that damage occurs to your item(s) or your property in Philadelphia, our Support Team will promptly review the issue, coordinate any necessary repairs or replacements, and work with you to make things right.
To file a damage claim, get in touch through our contact page or use live chat. We'll guide you through the next steps and may ask you to hold the item while we review and resolve the issue as quickly as possible.
