The short answer: most customers tip 5–10% of the bill, split among the crew — and it's always 100% up to you.
There's no rule — tipping is entirely your call. When customers do tip, 5–10% of the total bill is the norm, and for exceptional service some go beyond. And however you choose to give it — cash, card, or not at all — is completely up to you.
| Your move | Typical bill | 5% tip | 10% tip |
|---|---|---|---|
| Studio / 1-bedroom · 2 movers | $540–$820 | ≈ $30–$40 | ≈ $55–$80 |
| 2-bedroom · 2–3 movers | $680–$1,100 | ≈ $35–$55 | ≈ $70–$110 |
| 3-bedroom · 3 movers | $1,160–$1,760 | ≈ $60–$90 | ≈ $115–$175 |
| Large home · 4 movers | $1,720–$2,500 | ≈ $85–$125 | ≈ $170–$250 |
Whichever you prefer — it's your call. Cash reaches each mover on the spot; if you'd rather tip by card, just ask how it gets to the crew.
After — when the last item is placed and you've walked the house. Cold drinks or lunch during the day are always appreciated, never expected.
Late crew, careless handling, bad attitude — no tip, no guilt. Tipping rewards good work; it isn't a fee.

The #1 factor. Fully packed before the crew arrives can save 1–2 hours. We also offer full packing if you'd rather not.
Walk-ups, elevator waits, and long carries from door to truck add time. Tell us up front — we plan the crew for it.
Drive time between your two addresses is on the clock, so closer moves cost less.
Pianos, safes, gym equipment, oversized furniture — doable, but tell us ahead so we bring the right gear and crew.
