Tipping movers?

Question

im moving about 20 mins away from where i live now. The moving estiment $472 for 4 hours. How much should i tip them? %15 feels like too much money. There is two people going to be working. Could someone help me find a reasonable tip?

Answer 1

I always tip 15% for movers.

Answer 2

I couldnt tip...too broke for that...but I will provide lunch...sandwhiches, sodas etc...

Answer 3

You shouldn't have to pay. The cost you are paying already is for the service. But if you do want to tip, maybe $20

Answer 4

ANY tip is appreciated... I worked as a mover for a couple of years, and an average tip was between $20.- 50., per mover, regardless of distance. (My biggest was $150.) Let it depend on how well they treat you and your stuff.

Answer 5

When we moved, I paid the moving company their bill, and I tipped the guys who did all the work $20.00 each.  They really appreciated it, and I really appreciated them!

Answer 6

50 bucks between the two of them sounds about right, assuming they don't damage anything.

On a side note, you can be asssured you'll be paying a lot more than that estimate

Answer 7

Yeah, $50 sounds about right but first I'd make sure they didn't break anything.

Answer 8

$20 each...

Answer 9

I have never tipped movers.  I have, however, provided them with sandwiches and cold sodas.

Answer 10

Answer 11

Answer 12

I don't tip movers.

...and let the thumbs down begin....

Answer 13
