Speaking of tips, did anyone tip their movers?
I paid about $8,000 for the move which I thought should cover everything.
When the movers arrived (3 movers and the driver/supervisor), the supervisor told me that they expected tips of about 10% - or $800 total for four movers. Tipping $200 for 6 hours of work is $33 an hour on top of what they were being paid by their employer.
I was in a real bind. In about six hours, they were going to be driving off with almost everything I owned. If I didn’t tip them, I had no idea if items might get broken or might be “lost” in the move. I ended up tipping $400 and some items were broken and they also lost several boxes.
Did this happen to anyone else? How much did they demand?
