We hadn't thought about this until the winding down part of the move and were trying to slyly google it to figure out a good amount. The were on time, polite, and fast, so we were happy to send a little extra something their way. I doubt they would have taken us up on food--it was summer and hot and they were all business. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tipping-packers-and-movers#post-1987088 Tue, 16 Dec 2014 15:28:56 +0000 mrs. bird 1987088@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i think $50 each (just movers, we packed ourselves), but i'm not sure. it was more than we'd planned, but the previous tenet was still in the apt when we arrived and refused to leave, then it was dark and we were moving into a top floor apt and they shut the power down for the whole street so they had to do half the move in the dark. it was a terrible night &amp; they earned every penny! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tipping-packers-and-movers#post-1987079 Tue, 16 Dec 2014 15:23:35 +0000 lady grey 1987079@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LAZB: We just moved and did $20 each. Never even thought to provide food. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tipping-packers-and-movers#post-1987069 Tue, 16 Dec 2014 15:20:38 +0000 LAZB 1987069@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just talked to a guy at the office of the movie company, and he said typical is $20-25. Looks like you girls are all pretty generous!<br /> We have three people packing today, and I assume 3-4 moving us tomorrow, so I'll probably do $25 each. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tipping-packers-and-movers#post-1986914 Tue, 16 Dec 2014 14:23:52 +0000 Worrywart 1986914@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had 3 guys move us recently.

How much do I need to tip them? </p>
