These guys were absolute machines! They arrived right on time and got straight to work. I was genuinely impressed (and a little worried for their safety!) by how fast they moved. They navigated a heavy sleeper sofa around a tight L-shaped corner in record time, then zipped through several smaller items without missing a beat. Incredibly efficient—highly recommend! They were also nice & friendly. - Michelle

Michael and Emmanuel seriously went above and beyond. They both introduced themselves, advised on the setup, and went out of their way to deliver my HEAVY stainless steel table up to my condo. I’ve never had such incredible, thorough, and friendly customer service from movers. Felt more like friends delivering my table. Couldn’t ask for anything more! - Colin

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

I had an amazing experience with Erick from Lugg! He went above and beyond helping me move a very heavy Murphy bed and a chair to my cousin’s place. This wasn’t just a simple job—it required strength, patience, and serious professionalism. From the moment he arrived, he was courteous, efficient, and extremely careful with the furniture. What impressed me most was how smoothly he handled such a bulky and awkward item, all while keeping a great attitude. He made what could have been a stressful delivery feel effortless and even enjoyable. If you’re lucky enough to get him as your Lugg helper, you’re in great hands! Highly recommend! - Andrea

The team did an outstanding job! They communicated effectively among themselves to determine the safest and most efficient method for moving a heavy table top from the first floor to the basement. They also assisted in installing the legs and carefully turned the table over, ensuring it remained undamaged throughout the process. My first time using this app and very very pleased.

U-Haul U-Box loading and unloading in Washington: movers for the container in your driveway
A U-Box is U-Haul's portable storage container — it turns up empty, you fill it, and it gets hauled to wherever it's going next. The filling is a labor job and it isn't part of the container rental, which is why people go looking for movers separately. Lugg is an on-demand moving and delivery service that loads and unloads portable storage containers in Washington, same day, for anyone who's already got the container and needs the lifting done.
What is a U-Box, and who loads it?
It's a container U-Haul delivers to your address and collects when you're done, sized for part of a home rather than a whole truckload. The loading is yours to arrange, and that's the part Lugg does. Enter your address, choose the crew size you need, and movers can be on the way in as little as an hour, or scheduled up to 60 days in advance. If U-Haul's delivery slips, tap Edit Truck or Arrival Time on the booking and move it to another day, any time before the crew is dispatched.
No two-hour minimum on a U-Box load
U-Haul's own Moving Help marketplace books labor in blocks: two hours minimum, ten maximum, and unused hours aren't refunded if the crew finishes early. Lugg bills labor by the minute with no minimum at all, so a U-Box that takes fifty minutes to load costs fifty minutes. If it runs longer than you planned, the crew keeps working at the same per-minute rate.
Where your U-Box actually is
U-Haul gives you three ways to get one, and each changes the address you enter when you book. If it's delivered to your place, the container and your things are at the same address, so put that address in both fields. If you towed it home on U-Haul's trailer, same thing. If you're packing it at a U-Haul location instead, that's two addresses: your home for the pickup, the U-Haul lot for the drop-off.
Loading at one end, unloading at the other
A container gets filled in one place and emptied in another, so it's normally two Luggs rather than one, booked whenever each end actually happens. Load it before U-Haul comes to collect it. Book the unload once it's been delivered to the new address, which might be weeks later and a long way from the first crew.
