Thread: Appropriate tip for movers?

I’m stumped, need your feedback please. I have 2 moving vans and 5 guys coming. I packed and marked everything so they are loading boxes, furniture, patio furniture, snow blower, BBQ grill. Only things they are packing are 2 TVs, 2 big pictures and 3 wall mirrors. I was thinking $50 per man. My brother said 20% of moving charge which I think is excessive. Thoughts appreciated.

I’m so freaking stressed!

When I moved last year, I had a similar setup and tipped each mover $40-50, which they seemed happy with. Your brother’s suggestion of 20% of the moving charge does seem a bit high, especially if the total cost is significant.

Hey, 2 months ago when I moved I paid the guys $45 and I think that's okey. Like you said it's mostly all packed up at your place, so why pay extra?

I had some issues like broken furniture and delayed arrival times. It was a headache until a friend recommended https://threemovers.com/moving-companies-international/ . They were a lifesaver, helping to streamline everything and ensuring nothing was damaged.
