How much do you recommend tipping movers

How hung?

If its a pretty simple job, 10 bucks a guy is enough. If it is more work go with 20 per guy.

Thanks R2!

$40/person

At least $10 per person

Depends on what they’re moving... if it’s heavy furniture tip more than $10. That is pretty fucked up.

Clearly you needed them because you couldn’t do it yourself you weak white man. So maybe be kind and tip well since they’re doing what you couldn’t???

"Youse got some nice things here, pal. Be a shame if something happened to 'em."

How much and where are you? It will be different in Arkansas than New York. I would tip more due to the pandemic too.

Exactly r8. Hate people who use services then don’t wanna tip.

How much is being moved, are there stairs involved, where are you, and how Coronavirus laden (with risk to the movers) is your area? I’m if it’s a one bedroom apartment and there are three movers I can’t imagine not tipping $50-75 per guy

R10 I'm moving from a one bedroom apartment to a 4 bedroom house.

$50 to $75 a guy on top of the moving services? I'm typically a generous tipper, but that sounds a little extravagant.

I do $50/person but I live in NYC

Whatever you decide, think about it beforehand and don’t waiver.

I have dealt with many movers who will talk incessantly about how other people tipped them so much—all on an effort to get you to tip them more

Imagine having moving guys move heavy furniture up and down stairs in NYC and tipping $10???

Because that is extravagant r12. If people want to be that generous, that's your perogative, but it is not expected.

$40 per mover plus a blow job.

Present hole!

If the movers work for a moving company rather than own it themselves they are not getting a lot of the moving fee. Three rely on tips. Particularly if they are carrying heavy shit upstairs. Jeezus you folks are cheap as fuck. How much do you leave for the server when you eat at Red Lobster? 10%?

I tipped $20/mover plus a six pack of beer for a recent in-city move. They don't get the whole fee, it is true, but they are paid a good wage. They do not rely on tips.

NYC here, 40-50 per guy depending on how much stuff you have, how heavy the boxes are, stairs vs elevator etc.

A 10 dollar tip per person is insulting, I think. It's like going out to a restaurant - if you can afford to go, you can afford a decent tip.

We need more details OP. How much stuff? How much heavy stuff? Are there a lot of stairs involved? Are they careful with your stuff? Are they hot, buff n’ sexy?

Like I said before R22. I'm moving from a 1 bedroom apartment to a 4 bedroom/two story house. They will have to take a bed, a dresser, a tv, a desk and chair, a computer and some boxes upstairs. Everything else remains on the first floor.

I was thinking $20-$25 a mover.

R23 $25 sounds good.

NOT $10

Depends on the job. I've had movers work more than a full day, and hard at it, and tipped 75 or 100. For a 1/2 day I'd think 40-50.

I had new furniture delivered to my apartment last year and gave both of the hot delivery guys head, individually, before they left.

When they show up, OP, splay out $100 in ones and fan yourself as you follow them around your house packing up your stuff. If you see them handle your precious items roughly sigh loudly and dramatically pluck a bill from your hand, and shove it in your housecoat pocket. They'll get the idea, toot sweet. You're welcome!

r26, now gurl, you're going to have to give us more details than that!

R27, gurl my stuff is already packed, shrink wrapped and ready to go. All they have to is move it out of the apartment into the truck and take it to my new place and unload.

R29 that is their job. Packing isn’t n

I always give $50 each.

I moved from a studio to a 1-br 2nd floor apt with a little furniture and lot of boxes and bins. I tipped $20 per guy in Houston.

I've usually done $20 per person and they seem very happy and surprised to get it

I had a couple bad experiences with movers here. Obscene ripoffs, so now I never tip them anything.

I need a crane to get large items in and out. It’s something like $500 to arrive and set-zip, plus $50 per item. One time, I coordinated with a neighbor. We both had stuff craned in on the same trip. But the company insisted on charging us both the $500 travel-time and set-up fee. That defeated the entire purpose of us coordinating. I expected us to split the feel. Oh, they didn’t even have to move the crane between lifts, too.

Another time, they were supposed to take a couch out by crane, then carry a chair down the stairs, which wouldn’t incur an additional charge. It was covered by their arrival and set-up fee. While I wasn’t looking, they craned-out the chair, for their convenience, and charged me $50 for it.

Each time, I though, “Well, there goes your tip”, and I won’t tip them again in the future. City living incurs all kinds of unexpected expenses!

There are a few crane companies, but the biggest ones are all owned by the same people, so it’s like a monopoly.

Follow up. My movers were so awesome that I tipped them $56 each. Best move experience ever.

I tipped cross country movers 200 after they delivered.

Hell, you got to move OP? Lucky you? I’m still in lockdown, surrounded by my boxed up possessions, fantasising about the day I have the tipping dilemma.

I am in California and last time I moved I paid all 3 guys $100 each.

Yes R37, Moving companies never closed. They were deemed essential services.

Here in Scotland we’ve got to wait for at least another 2 weeks. Property deals are falling apart meantime.

I haven't moved in 22 years, but when I did I moved from a third floor walk up to a ground floor apartment about a mile way. It took about 4 hours, the two guys charged me for two hours (the minimum) and I tipped them $200. It cost me the same as the four hour price, but they each pocketed $100.

I recommend it highly. Lot easier than tipping cows.... Oh wait
