Caike and Apolo were amazing. They went above and beyond to move our new sectional couch upstairs, including through a tight door and a stairway with a turn. They removed the feet, and were positive and helpful throughout. What a great experience! - David

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

Jesus was great! But the dump location was closed. I reached out for help and the answer was that it was the customer’s responsibility to ensure the place is open. Ok fair BUT I don’t recall it was mentioned anywhere. At least you should have a warning message so we do know as customer this is our responsibility! It costs me at least double the expected price!!! - Adeline

This was my first time using Lugg, I really just needed a pickup & an extra set of hands to transfer my new desk I had purchased to my apartment. My lugger came prepared with not only that but a few blankets & wrap to keep my new purchase safe while we traveled a few miles north on the interstate. I’m so grateful he had such care with my item! The whole experience was about 30 minutes long, a quick trip but honestly so helpful! He was friendly, attentive & I’m just really grateful for the help! - Latisha

Although, I did not meet Nahun and Israel personally I can easily say that they are committed to doing a great job. They got to the pick up location on time, even had to wait a little for the person that was meeting them. They communicated with me throughout the entire process. Sent me pictures of my boxes at pickup and then again at after storing in my storage unit. Definitely recommend this company and team!! - Joanne
