Moving In tomorrow...How Much to Tip Moving Men?

So tomorrow is the big move.
We have three men coming and they're taking our things from Queens to Nassau County. How much should we tip each guy?

TIA!


Oh and Before & Afters coming next week! The floors are done and two rooms are wallpaperless and painted already! Woo Hoo!

I normally give them $20 each

and don't leave your purse alone - not even for a minute

I think I paid for lunch last time I moved- and they were guys I used before- but there was a $20 missing from my purse

good luck!

I think we gave them (3 guys) $25-30 each. I also fed them lunch and bought them a bunch of Gatorades for the day.

Thank you! That's the range I was thinking.

25-30, plus all the drinks they wanted. They bought their own lunch between the old house and new house.
