Jovany and Ethan. Thank you! They were amazing! We had them unload a 26-ft U-Haul truck packed to the rim and they didn't blink and I unloading it. Jovany was very very knowledgeable on how to move appliances and even hook them up for me as a favor. These two are experts and should be respected. I found that with kindness and respect will react in kind. Thanks guys - Mary

Brandon and Reynaldo were amazing!! Today was my first time using this app and I couldn’t be happier. Truly took the stress out of buying a couch on FB Marketplace- so much easier than my last all day, exhausting ordeal with a U-Haul. These 2 guys were punctual, so friendly, warm, and kind. Will be using LUGG from now on! Thank you! - Tiffany

These guys were amazing! Helped me unload a 26’ truck in less than an hour. This is the cond time this week I’ve used them and it’s been a huge help. My family and I are making 180 mile move and I didnt have anyone to help unload two U-Haul trucks. I was stressing! They helped take huge weight off my shoulders! - Archy

These guys were amazing! Helped me unload my entire house from my U-Haul and in storage in about 45 minutes. That’s three bedrooms, two bathrooms, kitchen, living room, and outdoor as well as garage items. They helped me knock it out so quickly! - Archy

Every aspect was great: fast, cautious, and got the job done. What great app idea!! I bought a new sectional at living spaces and delivery wasn’t available, so before lugs I would’ve had to rent a U-Haul and try to find someone that can help me. That would’ve taken all day and the price of the rental for U-Haul and gas would’ve been almost the price of lugs. Great concept thank goodness for this platform. - David

Ayan and Angel were amazing! They arrived on time, started working immediately, they were friendly and professional, and they worked well together. I needed help moving my stuff out of a 15ft U-Haul truck and into a 10×15 storage unit. Ayan and Angel unloaded the truck so quickly, and filled the storage unit unit perfectly. They were so helpful. Once again, Lugg connected me with people who knew what they were doing and happy to help. =) - Valerie

Both Jerome and Mateus were my superheroes today. I needed same day help with packing and loading things onto a U-Haul truck. Super simple online process to schedule Lugg. Jerome and Mateus were on time, got to work right away, kept a fast pace, took direction easily and accurately. They were really awesome at loading the truck too. Good guys with great work ethic. I am so grateful to have found Lugg. They were very professional and trustworthy and respectful of my property. I'd happily hire Jerome and Mateus again. - Valerie

Keith and Marcel did excellent job. Moving a heavy furniture on a hot weather like this and still manage to smile and maintain good attitude is beyond my expectations. They protected my armoire the best they can. I will recommend Lugg to friends. Much cheaper than renting U haul. - Chona

Both men had a great attitude, were really patient, and professional. Ramon was able to pick up two stacked up mini fridges and place them in the desired location! They listened to where I wanted to place my things and were careful with my items. Ramon also helped guide me how to park my Uhaul cargo van I had previously rented. I re-injured my back prior to hiring them trying to move things on my own, so they definitely saved my move. Wish I would have known about them prior to moving as I would have ended up saving money after all. Will def hire them again in a heartbeat! - Yesenia

Rogerio and Rony were genuinely the best movers I have ever employed. They were efficient, hard working, friendly, helpful, and extremely effective. They were happy to help us with a second trip back to our house to load more into the van to bring back to our storage unit. I only wish that Lugg had the option for customers to chose their Luggers. I am moving more items tomorrow to a different location and I wanted to book them again. Please consider implementing a feature where happy customers can request their favorite Luggers again in the future. I would book Rogerio and Rony again every time. 100/10 service - Arden
