When to Consider Tipping More
If your move involved significant physical challenges, such as transporting heavy pianos, safes, or bulky furniture, a larger tip is a meaningful way to show appreciation for the extra labor and care required. This same logic applies to difficult access points; navigating five flights of stairs or maneuvering through narrow, cramped hallways demands a high level of precision and endurance. When your crew turns a standard move into an intense workout to ensure your belongings arrive safely, their extra effort and technical skill certainly earn that additional bonus.

Small Gestures Matter
Moving is physical work. While not a tip, keeping the team hydrated with cold water or sports drinks goes a long way. For long days, a quick lunch is always a welcome surprise. Please do not offer alcohol, as our teams must stay safe on the clock.
