Moving Day Service: How Should I Tip My Movers?

Everyone who provides a service for you should be tipped. From groomers to waiters to the young chap who assists you with your gardening supplies, you should give a percentage of the total price you paid, especially if they went above and beyond for you. When professional movers cater to you, a few dollar bills won't do. For a fair tip and a smooth moving day, Nationwide Relocation Services has a few guidelines on how to treat the workers who pack, load and unpack your belongings.

Our team cares about each moving endeavor we provide amenities for. We meticulously search our database to filter out scammers and ripoff movers and facilitate proven methods to ensure impeccable moving projects. Tipping movers depends entirely upon the moving day scenario. To help us help you, we have developed the following tips based on our experiences:

• Be warm and friendly. The moment movers are greeted with a smile, they know that the person wants the day to go smoothly. Plus, the more open and approachable you are, the more the movers will understand your needs. Discuss a plan of action and remember to stay optimistic and open throughout moving day.
• Show them around. Introduce your family, show them where the bathroom and the drink cooler is and provide hand sanitizer, paper towels and any other supplies to keep everyone and your belongings clean and safe.
• Provide coffee and small snacks. This kind gesture will keep movers fueled. As you all sip and munch, go over what you expect, your time limit and more. The movers will want to work hard to satisfy your clearly discussed needs as a thanks for your kindness.
• Keep distractions at bay. Though you and the kids want to help, the movers ultimately want to perform their best. Help them maintain professional service throughout by keeping pets and kids occupied and out of their path. This will also keep everyone safe.
• Be honest. Instead of bottling up something that irks you, let the movers know right away. Perhaps you want them to handle an item last. Don't be shy to request anything.
• Issue a good tip. After everything is neatly packed and ready for the rest of the relocation, thank your movers for a great day. The recommended amount is $20 per mover, but feel free to throw in a little extra if they exceeded your expectations.
• Give your input to the company. After the movers provided you with a great moving day, contact the company to let them know your thoughts. Nationwide Relocation Services reviews are always appreciated by our entire team.
