Is Tipping a Mover Customary?
At White Glove Moving & Storage we are excited to be a resource for our Treasure Coast customers doing as much or as little as they need done. In fact, with only a one hour minimum with labor billable in thirty minute increments afterwards, many clients are repeats because having help with the heavy lifting can be such a valuable service day in and day out. With that in mind, one of the most frequently asked questions is whether or not to tip the movers.
As with any tipping scenario, it is entirely up to the customer. If you feel your movers were well prepared and respectful, deserving of your extra dollars here are some standard rules of thumb:
- $4-6 per man, per hour
- Lump sum to split with crews of 3 or more
- It can be given in cash or applied to the credit card charge (keep in mind we have no additional credit card processing fees)
- Lunch or beverages are always appreciated especially in large, multi-day moves
Of course, our White Glove Moving & Storage team appreciates being chosen as your mover or go-to delivery agent. Tipping is always appreciated though not ever required.
A worthwhile alternative is to provide a 5 star review on Google and/or the BBB. When the movers are identified by name, they are recognized each month with a special bonus and this is on top of whatever gratuity was or was not given.
Each lead has a card for them to fill out their names and provides a QR code for happy customers to be able to go right to our Google page and leave their positive review.
Need help with an upcoming move? We are here for you. Just packing, just loading, full pack and move…we can do as much or as little as you need done with pricing that makes it possible and a reputation to serve that will provide peace of mind every time.
