Philip & Rodrigo were professional and quick. I was removing a mattress and the website made it seem like Luggs would take it away and get rid of it for me. That is not the case. You need to know where they are going to take it. Anyway the two luggers were helpful and polite regarding this miss communication. - Matthew

They were amazing ! Super caring and understanding. I thought I had to pick the mattress up myself and I live on the 3rd floor with no elevators ! So I was preparing myself however when I asked one of the gentleman if they could carry it up they were extremely helpful and did it for me . Thank you so so much . It was heavy and yet they still did it . They were great and I’m thankful for their help ! - Rufina

They went way beyond what they were originally supposed to do, to my understanding. They brought the couch all the way up the elevator, to our apartment, and then unloaded it into the apartment. They made a point to tell us they were not in a rush, were extremely professional, were careful with our things, and were just good, friendly people! 👌🏼 - WILLIAM

this man that came to my house today was amazing. I initially hired somebody to help me move my peloton bike, which is very heavy by the way downstairs into my basement from my living room and when he showed up, he was on time he was courteous. He was polite. He was a professional, and he assess the situation and he did the whole thing by himself. I was completely blown away. I tried to help, but he said that he had it and that it was no problem. I really wanna leave him a tip. I should've given him cash before he left, but I didn't and you know I'm having a real hard time putting the tip on the on the app and I just wanted to know that I'm not gonna stop until I find a way to send this man some kind of tip. Thank you. - Amanda

Dorm and college movers in Washington

Two weeks in the year do most of the work: the one in August when everyone arrives, and the one in May when everyone leaves at once. In between there are roommate swaps, a move down the hall, a futon bought off a senior, and the run to storage before summer. Lugg is an on-demand moving and delivery service that moves students into dorms, residence halls and off-campus apartments, and back out again at the end of term.

Which Lugg fits a dorm room

Most people booking dorm movers overestimate what a dorm room holds. Across thousands of student moves, 93% fit in a van or a pickup truck. A bed, a desk chair, a futon and eight or nine boxes doesn't need a box truck, and you pick the vehicle yourself when you book rather than having someone size it for you.

Move-in week and move-out week

Move-in runs on the college's clock, not yours: an assigned arrival slot, a loading zone, a lot that's full by nine in the morning. Booking ahead is what keeps that from mattering, and you can lock a Lugg up to 60 days out. Move-out is the opposite problem, because everything has to be gone by a deadline and half of it isn't coming home. One Lugg can make up to five stops, so the storage unit, the donation drop-off and the boxes you're leaving at a friend's place all happen in the same trip. Movers carry it up stairs, into elevators and down long hallways, which is most of what a dorm building is.

Off-campus apartments and student housing

Student movers get booked for more than move-in day. Sophomore year is usually a walk-up with three roommates, a shared lease and a couch somebody's brother is giving away. Lugg handles those the same way, including the pickup from a marketplace seller across town on the way to the new place. Lugg movers can put the bed frame, the desk or the bookshelf back together once it's in the room.

Moving without a car on campus

Most freshmen don't have a car, and the ones who do can't fit a mattress in it, which is most of what dorm room movers get called for. Lugg is the way to get something bulky from a store, a storage unit or a seller to your room without borrowing a truck or asking three friends. You book it yourself in about a minute, track the crew on the way, and see your upfront estimate before anything is confirmed.
