Moving Tips Are Optional

We all know to tip a waiter who does a good job or a valet, but what about a mover? That’s a question that many find difficult to answer.

I found a great article on moving tips at NYC-Movers.net that helps clear up the confusion. It seems moving tips are a matter of preference, not necessity.

Unlike their hair-cutting or table-waiting service industry counterparts, movers tend to get paid by the job or the hour rather than having to rely on tips for their income. This makes a whole lot of sense due to the extreme labor involved even in a simple move.

The article on moving tips provides some solid insight on when to tip and how much to give, as well. It suggests a few other options beyond cash tips, too.

Moving is hard enough without a bunch of extra considerations. Thanks to great sites like NYC-Movers.net, some of the guesswork goes away, at least when it comes to moving etiquette and moving companies.
