Tipping Your Moving Company - What Is Considered As A Good Tip?

When ever we like anyone's service or get satisfied with the job done; it is considered

appropriate to appreciate them, and tipping is a good way of acknowledgment. Tipping is a gesture of your appreciation and a source of encouragement.

A moving company can provide you great service and tipping their employees who come over to load your cargo is a good idea as they will take good care of your fragile cargo. There are no hard and fast rules for tipping but you should know the basic etiquette of appreciating the workers.

* You can show your appreciation by serving the workers drinks, snacks or any food depending on the time and weather. Some big companies do not encourage their employees to accept tips from the clients, so serving good food can be a nice gesture of appreciation.

* Your tip can be a big source of income for the workers of small companies, where the salaries are less and workers might depend on the tips they are given by the movers.

* There is no specific amount for giving tip but generally 5% to 15% of the total bill is given as the tip depending on the service.

* You can give $20 to $30 to each worker, again depends on the service. Some people give lump some amount to the group leader but it would be better if you pay each worker separately with recognition and appreciation to their service individually.

* If the workers are less in numbers for example there are 2 men, you can raise the amount of the tip and give $40 to $60 to them as the amount of work would be harder for less workers.

* At times it depends on how much time it took in loading and the weight of the stuff to decide the amount of tip. If you have less cargo or it didn't take more than an hour in loading, you can reduce the amount to $10 per person. But if it took the entire day with heavy loading then the amount must be increased.

* The crew that loads the luggage may be different from the crew that delivers it so you should tip them accordingly.

* The amount depends on the standard of service and your satisfaction; you can raise the amount if the service was extremely good and if you did not like the service or you found the workers with non professional attitude then don't feel obliged to tip.

* Avoid giving beer as a token of tip at the end of the work as most legitimate companies don't allow their workers to drink on the job.

If you use the service of a moving company on regular basis then tipping can make you a favorite client even for the lower staff. They will happily come again and show better performance in future.
