How much do you tip movers?

We last moved seven years ago. We have provided lunch and tips of $20 per mover ...HTH!

That was what I was thinking, too. Thanks, MickD.

I have never had a moving company…wow, is that weird?

If I moved now, I sure would, but I was too poor (or cheap?) in years past to pay someone!

Good luck with your move!

If I recall from several years ago I think $20.00 per guy is what we gave but I think we gave the crew chief more.

We moved this weekend. First time we hired movers. We tipped $20 per mover. They worked so hard. It was 30 below

How is your new house, brii?

The last time we used movers we tipped them. Then discovered reasons we shouldn't have. Damaged furniture, opening and helping themselves to a box of candy (it was just after Valentine's day).

It would be interesting to hear if others have had a similar experience...tipped and then regretted it.

We had great movers and we tipped them 20 percent of the total. The foreman divided it up among all three of the movers. They really worked hard as they had a lot of steps to climb with some very heavy furniture.
