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.
Can't any one of your damn little Scooby club at least try to remember that I hate you all?

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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Worth every penny for sure. Still tramatic!

What's the alternative? I mean, other than not moving long-distance, which, duh. Never not an alternative.
One-way rental truck. We moved from San Antonio to KC that way.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
One-way rental truck.
I can happily say I'm never doing that. Not in love with the idea of driving anything bigger than my Jetta over long distances. Not even my Jetta with a trailer. I have maneuverability issues.

Between the cost of the truck and gas ($1000), plus my time and money on the road, there's no way that would be better than the ($2500) I paid my Mayflowers movers to move me from MD to CA.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I'm still traumatized about how much it cost to have long-distance movers. Never again!
Both my cross-country moves were subsidized. One reason to go for-profit!

We had a $500 moving subsidy for that move and got under it.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I was fully intending to tip our movers $50 each on account of the stairs, but I downgraded it to $20 when they tried to fleece me (they claimed that the stairs weren't on the work order and said I'd have to pay them extra, in spite of the fact that it said "4th floor walk-up" on EVERY FREAKING PAGE).
