Do You Tip Movers?

Do You Tip Movers?

Our customers sometimes call and ask us, “Do you tip movers?” The moving industry is a service business and if the service provided is to your satisfaction then a tip is appreciated. Gratuities are at the customer’s discretion and not expected, though appreciated.

How Much Do You Tip Movers?

We are also asked what amount is appropriate for tipping movers. Unlike other service industries the amount of the tip is tied to the amount of the bill, we see amounts that reflect the work done. The range of tips we see is from $40 to $60 per mover depending on the difficulty of the move. If a move is more difficult or the items moved heavy, the tip is at the upper end of the range. If a more straightforward move then the tip is on the lower end of the range.

What If I Have No Cash On Move Day?

Moving day is busy and can be stressful. You might have to be in different places on the day, making decisions and overseeing a lot of details. If at the end of the day you find you do not have the cash available for tips, don’t worry. You can call our office and let us know what yo would like to tip the movers and we will handle it for you and settle that amount on the invoice.
