I'm pretty sure my moving company told me what to tip, and it was 15-20%. But that's NYC. Edit: Maybe it was 10-15%. Whatever it was, it felt like a lot of money! But I was moving into a 4th floor walkup...

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
$100 or so, I would say. Depending on the cost of the move.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
How snazzy would you look, though, Jesse? Especially with a belt with a cool belt buckle?
Let's dress you from now on.
Note to people: solutioning? Not a word.
Quid pro con? Kinda funny, but doesn't exist.
Sending me an invite to a 7am con call when I have an 8-11 onsite meeting? Kinda MEAN. I haven't decided how to handle this yet. Taking it while driving is contra-indicated, natch. Coming in to the office an hour early? Evol.

When I last moved in 2006, I gave my three movers $20 each, and they were happy with it. The entire cost of the move was about $500, so I wasn't going to give them any more than that!

I'm still traumatized about how much it cost to have long-distance movers. Never again!

I never doubt that all my movers have been worth the time and money.

What's the alternative? I mean, other than not moving long-distance, which, duh. Never not an alternative.

Oh yeah, I assume my next long-distance move is far enough in my future that I don't have to think about it. If ever.

It was less than 2 years ago and I don't recall what I tipped my movers. I know they were VERY appreciative of the flat of water I had for them.

Because books.
We moved long-distance NJ to WY, and then WY to PA a year later. I have control issues so it was a little hard for me when they were all TOUCHING MY STUFF.
Certainly worth not moving some stuff up and down stairs, though, or at least that's what my husband will tell you.
