HOW MUCH I LIKE MOVERS? Let's face it, the move is full of pressure, but is not that one of the reasons why you hire a mover? Most people realize how difficult it is to move, especially the physical aspect, once the mover has arrived and start loading or unpacking. It is not surprising that one of the most common questions we receive is, "How much should I give to mobilizer?" DO I HAVE USED MY MOVERS? First, we want to clarify that tipping is not necessary; but like most tip services is a way for customers to thank them for a job well done. Although there is no "average tip", it is widely accepted that the number of tipping for movers ranges from 5% of the total bill to $ 20 per person. The proper etiquette is to tip each driver individually, not to the foreman or supervisor. It shows that you recognize and appreciate each other's efforts. If you feel that one or two movers work very hard, or are more worthy than others, then do not hesitate to give the mover a bit more. If the crew has exceeded your expectations, you can definitely match their efforts with a larger tip amount. The general situation "above and beyond" includes: Completed the step in a shorter than expected time. Fit all your belongings into a truck or POD move even though that seems impossible. Moving furniture heavy, large or awkward in large quantities. Especially when movements include stairs, long walks or other obstacles. Excessive stairs, especially apartments on the 3rd floor and up. ALTERNATIVES TO CHANGE WITH CASH Brief about cash? There are many other ways to show your appreciation apart from cash. Because moving is a difficult, labor-intensive, cold drink like bottled water or Gatorade is a great way to show your appreciation while also showing your concern for their well-being. Provide crew with lunch in lieu of tip. If you plan to throw out old furniture, ask the crew if they want it. It saves you time and money and does not affect the environment. In short, when it comes to tip there is no right answer, it is best to go with whatever makes you comfortable.
