In a word, yes, says Brown.
Just like you’d tip a taxi or Uber driver, tipping your movers is considered pretty standard.
How Much Should You Tip Your Movers?
If it goes reasonably well, 10-15 percent of the total cost of the move is a fair tip.
Should You Ever Tip More Than the Standard Amount?
Offering water and snacks is always considered a kindness, says Brown.
What Should You Do to Prepare for a Move?
Dont wait until moving day to getorganized.
And that makes everybody happy.
