Back in NYC, we'd tip $20 per mover if they did a good job and didn't damage
the furniture or the walls. Coffee and donuts, or pizza, also help. It's
all about the respect.

It all depends on the total bill and the nature of the move. I moved from
Woodland Hills (LA) on top floor of a 3 level complex with no elevator to
Yorba Linda (OC) into a one level home.
Due to the distance traveled, it was an all day move... I bought the movers
lunch, beers and tipped them $50 each.

I gave the last movers my 2-year-old fridge. It was still in excellent
condition and they asked if they could have it (I had another already) and I
said sure.

I moved 2 months ago. It took 2 movers to move all my stuff in about 5 hours
. They were really exhausted because I had a lot of heavy items to carry
that needed to be transported down 3 flights of stairs. I bought them lunch
at In N Out and tipped them $40 each.

yeah, you tip. And I had them for 4 or 5 hours and tipped about $40 each

Most said no tips. just food and drinks.
Interesting topic, as I come from a long line of revered movers. Actually, I
'm one of only a couple kids on my dad's side of the family that didn't stay
in the moving business. My siblings and cousins often joke that I'm the
lazy one. During my 25+ years in the CG I had a 6 year period in which I was
a CG Reservist and my day job was driving an 18 wheeler for my dad's
company. I moved people all across the lower 48 and we actually shipped
household furniture most anywhere in the world. As far as tipping, I
received them about as much from military members as civilians. My issue,
and as painful as it is to say, is that military moves more often than not
resulted in a claim, more so than civilians in my experience. Some thought
of it as an opportunity to make an easy buck, and often would come right out
and say it. I received tips about 25% of the time but never went into it
expecting one. Pizza, subs or whatever the customer offered, in my opinion
was a tip. While being moved I gave tips when I thought it was warranted. As
far as bad movers it has also been my experience that you can get a bad one
no matter what's painted on the truck. My dad's company has a great record,
too many family members depend on it. Sorry for the long rant.

One Person Job $20 - $50 for large and difficult moves. This includes
but is not limited to:
stairs
small elevators
narrow doorways
odd furniture or appliances
large heavy boxes
$10 - $20 for small moves. One to ten items and only for regular sized items
or boxes. Nothing too heavy (20 lbs. or less.)
Two or more movers This is a bit more complicated. Follow the guidelines
above but adjust it as per the following criteria: Decide wether you want
to give a lump sum tip to the whole crew (they take care of splitting it) or
if you want to tip each mover individually. My suggestion is to calculate
per mover, subtracting $10 from the rules above and then pooling it and
giving it to the supervisor or team leader.

Small moves: $10-$20 for small moves, 1 mover, 1-10 items and nothing
over 20 lbs.
Large and difficult moves (stairs, narrow doorways, small elevators, odd
furniture or appliances, large heavy boxes): $20-$50 for large and
difficult moves Decide if you’re splitting the tip or if you want to tip
each mover individually.
Furniture or Large Appliance Delivery: $5-$10. Tip more if the delivery
is large or awkward or if the piece requires assembly.

1. Provide cold drinks, coffee or whatever is suitable to the weather and
time of day. Also provide food if the move takes a while and extends over
the lunch period; pizza, sandwiches, something quick they can eat while on
the move.
2. If there's only one or two movers, tip between $40-60 (to split if there
are two) depending on how hard the move was (stairs, heavy boxes, awkward
items, etc...).
3. More than one mover, tip $20 per person and give all the money to the
head mover or supervisor so they can divide it afterward.
4. If you received absolutely amazing service, tips can reach up to $100.
But the movers need to be really good, really helpful and do something
beyond the call of duty, such as helping with last minute packing, taking
the time to carefully wrap fragile items, or in my case once, helping me
catch an escaped cat. That's definitely the sign of a really good and caring
mover.

Moving is hard, back-breaking work so it would only be common decency to
have cold bottled water, soda or sport drinks on hand.
Some people prefer to buy the crew lunch in lieu of a tip and this is
perfectly fine. Some do both. It's whatever you are comfortable with. If you
do offer to buy the crew lunch, make sure to ask if they have a preference
as to food choice. Many people think, "Oh, we'll get some pizza," so you can
imagine how much pizza these guys might have had that month.
You will hear varying advice on how much to tip. Percentages don't
really work as they do in restaurant work. The difference between a $2,000
full-truck move and a $20,000 full-truck move is likely the distance the
moving van travels, not how much time it took to load the vehicle. Basically
, if it's a half-day (4 hours) move, $10 per person is considered
appropriate. If it's a full-day move (8 hours), then $20 is the consensus.
If you have a lot of heavy furniture, narrow or winding stairs, a steep lot,
etc., you should consider adding to the amount. If the crew works 12 hours
to get your belongings packed, figure $40 as fair.
A tip about tips from movers themselves: Don’t give the lump some to
the foreman or driver. Give each worker their tip. First, it shows that you
recognize and appreciate their individual efforts. Second, there are some
unscrupulous foremen, who will keep the entire amount for themselves.
Avoid giving the guys beer at the end of the day. It's a bit
stereotypical and most legitimate moving companies have rules against
drinking on the job. It also opens liability issues. Make the tip cash and
the movers can spend it how they wish.

The salesperson at a local moving company said that the industry standard
was 5%, which seems reasonable -- if a crew of two movers move you in town
for $500-$750, you might tip a total of $25-$35, or $10-$20 for each mover
depending on the quality of the move.
What if the bill is $25,000? & 2 people do the whole job in 5 days? i.e.
pack, load & deliver from calif to mass
iTipping: For cross-country moves, the major moving companies we spoke to
have said that tipping is not required and is not expected, and is up to the
customer. When an employee is relocating for a job and the company is
paying for the entire move, the new employer will often instruct the new
employee that they're not expected to tip, since it's all been paid for. If
the movers do a good job, most moving companies permit their employees to
accept tips, and we think anything would be appreciated. Typical ranges run
$40-$200 per person for a multi-day move. Because policies vary from firm to
firm, for a move of this size, if you intend to tip, we recommend
contacting the moving company's main office and asking about their tipping
guidelines. |
