Should I tip my movers?

First, let’s make it clear that tipping is not obligatory. This is your personal wish to say thank you. Generally, the standard tipping practice is $25-$50 per move or 5% to 20% of the move total. It depends on how hard they worked and how pleased you are with their service, of course. While there is no “average tip”, it is also a widely accepted fact, that the tipping amount for a mover is about $20.

Who should I tip?

Proper etiquette is not to tip to the foreman or supervisor but to each mover individually. This shows that you recognize and appreciate them. If you see that some movers worked especially hard, or put more individual efforts than the others. You may want to have a little bit more cash available in case you are really blown away by the service.

What are alternatives to tipping with cash?

If you are not going to tip movers – there are plenty of other ways to show your appreciation besides cash. Providing snacks throughout the day will keep your movers energized so that they would continue moving quickly and efficiently. Offer some cold drinks or water. You can also treat movers with pizza or lunch instead of tipping. Do not insist if they say no, this might be the company’s policy.
