Do you tip the movers???? Have them in as we speak. Have supplied endless tea/coffee and provided use of shower!! But just unsure if I am expected to tip once job done and if so how much??

Any advice gratefully received!

Showers and tea/coffee is more than enough - but if they dont smash anything then perhaps a 6 pack? PS Why shower???

They did the bulk of the work yesterday and it was really hot. They normally use motorway services apparently but as we live out in the sticks there was nowhere to go so I volunteered the use of it!

I think you've been very obliging.
that should be plenty.

When I moved house I tipped my movers £20 each as they worked like dogs for probable crap pay. I think they do a fantastic amount of work that you couldn't do yourself. Remember they are not getting the lions share of your removals cost but are doing the lions share of the work. I may be a soft touch but I do feel many manual workers are undervalued and deserve a few perks ands tips.

I agree, but the proviso being that they are doing a first class job!

If they are worth it, yes, I'd tip them.
As mine dropped a box marked "fragile" down a flight of stairs, and told me "theres him and me,and he has a bad back........so you have to help us" then mine didn't get a tip.

Exactly
A good days pay for a good days work, SIMPLE.

Ours got fed all day, bacon sandwiches, pasta, biscuits etc. A case of beers each & some spare booze & others bits that could not be packed.

More than enough.

I don't think it's expected, but it's a nice gesture if they're done a good job. I'd tip £20-30 between them and tell them to have a round of drinks on us at the pub.

Thanks for all the advice....have opted for the case of beer each. Thought that was a good option.

Lets hope it all arrives in one piece!!
