did you file a complaint ?


No. It was a full 3500 sq ft house so by the time we unpacked everything the time to file a claim had passed. We just kept thinking we would find the boxes in the basement or something. The guys who pack you pack everything and I mean everything. Empty coke cans, half drank water bottles, avocados, if it is in your house they are wrapping it in paper and boxing it up.

It looks like from the posts in this thread that the overwhelming consensus is to tip $20.

I tipped my movers... a crew of five guys, $25 a piece plus pizza and beer.

Not only the dinning room table and chairs, sofa and love seat, they hauled 4 bedrooms up narrow stairs that was basically heavy a** sets with entertainment centers and large dressers, two queen and two full beds, and six night stands. They didn't break anything, and didn't knock any holes in the sheet rock. Plus it was at the end of July and it was hot as frick....

we moved a guy from Chicago to Miami. He only had like 20 boxes and maybe 5 pieces of furniture. Took me and my moms cousin like 30 minutes to unload. He gave us each a $200 tip. This was late 90's.



You prolly moved boxes of money.

Y'all are some cheap SOB's.

Why would one feel obligated to tip a waitress approx 15-20$ on a 100$ meal when she only brought you some drinks and food but then give movers who lift heavy arse boxes and furniture for hours only 20$.

Because you may be a repeat customer to that restaurant.

Moving is hopefully only a rare occassion

In addition, movers get paid a much higher base salary than servers
