Both of them were amazingly quick, efficient and took care of the property as well as the furniture. The entire process was smooth and done very quickly. From the time of booking the lugg to completion it was <2hrs despite how heavy the furniture was. Highly recommend them. - Ajit
Hector was great! He was respectful, kind, quick, knew exactly what we needed to transport our heavy item and his service was exactly what we needed. This is the first time we’ve used any type of services and because of such a great experience we will be returning customers in the future. As soon as I sent in a request for help online, Hector was assigned to me right away and was able to have a confirmed pick up/drop off set within minutes. If I could give 10 starts for Hector I would! Solid guy! - Alisha
Gerry and Ralonzo were fantastic to work with. Right on time, quick, professional, and took great care of the heavy lifting. Super efficient experience all around—definitely 5 stars. - Peter
Wilson and Kalifa were absolutely outstanding. They showed up right on time, communicated clearly, and tackled what can only be described as a Peloton Tread+ relocation obstacle course with professionalism and ease. This wasn’t a simple move—the treadmill is incredibly heavy (460lbs!), the stairs were challenging, and there were plenty of opportunities for things to go sideways. Instead, they handled every step with teamwork, skill, and a level of confidence that made the whole process look easy. They were careful, efficient, and went above and beyond to make sure everything was completed exactly the way I wanted. Watching them maneuver that treadmill was like witnessing a synchronized Olympic event: equal parts strength, precision, and grace. My back started hurting just watching them do the work. If you’re lucky enough to get Wilson and Kalifa on your job, you’re in great hands. I would hire them again in a heartbeat and highly recommend them to anyone who needs movers who bring both muscles and professionalism to the table. Five stars all day long. - Bryan
Huge thanks to Viktor and Ralonzo for the incredible help today! They handled moving a heavy table up a flight of stairs with ease and made what could have been a stressful task look completely effortless. Beyond just the heavy lifting, both Viktor and Ralonzo were incredibly respectful and professional throughout the entire process. I really appreciated their positive attitude and great teamwork, and I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a seamless moving experience. Also a positive first time experience with Lugg will definitely use again. - Peter
Jonathan and Wilson were absolutely fantastic. They helped us move a washer/dryer tower up two flights of stairs and made what felt impossible look easy. They kept us updated the entire way here so we knew exactly when to expect them, were incredibly efficient with such a heavy load, and navigated a very tight space without any issues. On top of that, they were both super friendly and professional throughout the entire move. Highly recommend them and would absolutely use them again! - Megan
AMAZING movers!!! Super heavy couch and they were incredibly friendly, efficient, and great to work with. Highly recommend. - Adriana
This was the first time using Lugg and I have to say I was VERY impressed with Gean and Isaac. They packed the furniture they delivered very securely and unloaded everything with care. They were friendly and helped moved the heavy furniture to a secure space. They set a very favorable impression of Lugg with my first experience. - Jim
Shawn and John were fantastic—professional, efficient, and handled an extremely heavy sleeper sofa with care. They worked quickly, communicated clearly, and made a tough delivery feel seamless. Highly recommend them for any heavy or bulky moves. - Kristian
The table we had moved was super heavy and right from the beginning they handled it like professionals. Ramon and Erick were on time, friendly and efficient. Great to work with and we would recommend them again. - Tawni
Kevin and Khalid went above and beyond helping me move a very heavy solid wood entertainment cabinet down a flight of outdoor stairs and into my mom’s garage. They were incredibly professional, careful, and efficient from start to finish. They communicated clearly, showed up on time, and treated the piece with great care. It was a challenging move, but they handled it with total confidence and teamwork. Friendly, respectful, and clearly experienced, I couldn’t have asked for better movers. If you want the job done right with zero stress, these are your guys! Highly recommend - Kelly
Shane and Leonel were phenomal! They went above and beyond and hauled a very heavy piece of furniture up to the third floor easily! Thank you!! - Amy
Jeremy and Henry were awesome. Excellent communication beforehand and while moving. They were able to move even more items than I had expected and moved so quickly. They expertly moved my large, heavy couch (that I struggle to push around) down a set of stairs and a super narrow alley. They made the process so quick and easy, and they were also really kind, friendly people. If I or someone I know needed to move again and I could request movers, I would definitely request them. - Claire
Hi Lugg Team- shout-out to John and Brad! The furniture store did not disassemble the dining table we ordered (even though we requested them to do so) so this move was tough as the table was super heavy. John and Brad still powered through and helped us maneuver the table into our storage unit. Cheers Ps. (We gave them a cash tip when they left, so i will leave that field blank here in the app) - Kristina
Both Kevin and Saxon were great!! They were on time, professional, polite and efficient. They skillfully navigated a tricky corner with a heavy chair. I would not hesitate to use Lugg again. Thank you Kevin and Saxon - Katie
These guys were incredible. Beyond efficient, did so much of the heavy lifting for us. Should be too movers if there is a ranking system. Would hire again if I could contact them directly. - Jared
Sergio and Lucas did a fantastic job. It was a very heavy sofa and they handled it without issue. They were on time and polite as well. I would definitely recommend their services. - Christian
Very professional, contacted me to verify info and delivered heavy planters safely and on time. Thank you - Dalia
Christian and CJ did an excellent job. I had a very heavy and bulky buffet table and I have a lot of stairs in my home. They were efficient and took their time to make sure the table made it to its place safely. Thank you guys:) 🙏 - Annie
David and Lucas were awesome! They went above and beyond to help us unload the Uhaul and rearrange our heavy furniture within our place. Thanks guys! - Trisha
They were very diligent in getting up all the things that I wanted them to take to the dump and they had to dig for some stuff but they still got it out even the heavy stuff and they’re just very friendly and eager to please I think. - Gonja
I had a very heavy glass table that was awkward for them to carry and they did a great job taking their time to figure out how they were going to do it, and successfully completed the task. - Robert
David and Scott were awesome, they we're right on time, handled an incredibly heavy piece of furniture with ease and care, got it right where it needed to be and we're both very nice and helpful. Another great experience from Lugg! Note, I'm checking "no tip," because I tipped in cash, they certainly deserved a tip! - Holly
They were very competent and extremely pleasant. I had large, heavy items to move; they worked well together and knew exactly how to get large pieces through tight doorways. - Colleen

Lugg is an on-demand moving and delivery platform in San Diego 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 San Diego 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 San Diego.
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 San Diego, 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 San Diego, 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 San Diego, 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.
