How much should you tip furniture movers?

Moving furniture is hard work and potentially dangerous unless you’re properly equipped. For anyone not ready to handle their heavy oak armoire alone, professional furniture movers can safely and efficiently move your items to another room in your house or across town as needed. The national average cost to hire heavy furniture movers is $150-$200 per hour. This rate could include multiple furniture movers working as a team to move items such as beds, armoires, billiards tables, pianos, shelves, tables, entertainment centers and more. Hourly rates can vary by region. If your furniture movers have arrived on time, done a great job, kept your home and belongings protected from scratches and dings, and completed the move as planned, a tip will be greatly appreciated. Moving companies suggest approximately 10 percent of the total bill as gratuity for those doing local moving jobs, which is also a good guideline for tipping heavy furniture movers. If the total bill for heavy moving was $100 and two workers were onsite, consider giving them $10 total, or $5 each for a job well done.

Was really impressed with how quickly they were able to disassemble and reassemble my IKEA bed, and any one who has ever put together IKEA furniture knows that that is not an easy feat. They were on time and worked very efficiently and were careful not to recklessly handey my possessions. I would recommend and would do business with them again.

Arrived on time and completed the job in record time - one whole hour less than estimated and I have very old heavy furniture that was being moved to a third floor apartment. Nothing was scraped or damaged at all; I would definitely recommend them!

I would recommend Night & Day Moving services 100%. The best ever moving services I found. Myself, my husband and friends were very impressed with these people work. Four people came for packing & moving my stuff. Each of one did fabulous job. They had taken proper care of my stuff & furniture We bought brand new furniture one year back and when we know that we have to move, we are really worried about our furniture. But after seeing these people work we were very much relaxed. The car also they took proper care. They put a car cover and gain packing that looked like car wearing rain coat. And all these they did it for reasonably low price. Also, we got 3 days late to get apartment in the new place. We called Alix, to check if we could change deliver date. To our surprise, he agreed without saying anything or asking for more money. Such a nice person is Alix. If we have to move any other place again we will definitely go with these moving services. We were very much happy with the service.

Showed up a few minutes before our scheduled time and got straight to work. They worked quickly and efficiently, while taking the utmost care with our furniture and other items. Both movers were professional, courteous and friendly. Highly recommend this moving company!

Mario was amazing and such a big help. My brother had a stroke and was moved to a nursing home. We flew in from NC to help get things settled. We needed help cleaning out my brother's storage unit and moving his furniture back into the storage unit all in the same day. Mario was able to help us out on very short notice. He did a great job and was very fair with his prices.

I had heavy furniture and multiple heavy boxes to get moved from a 3rd story apt. to a 2nd story apt. Rocky and Joe worked cheerfully and steadily, getting the job done very quickly. They had already completed a challenging move before mine. This earlier move impacted their start time with me, but they called me throughout and made sure I was okay with the slight delay. It was no problem. Very communicative and responsible. They maintained a friendly, professional demeanor despite the physical labor and high humidity that afternoon. Joe had a long drive ahead of him back to college and an exam to study for the next day, but he worked hard and gave me the impression that had I asked him to stay on longer, he would have done so willingly. I couldn't have asked for a better team. Thank you, Rocky and Joe!

Todd was absolutely amazing!!! He worked his butt off and went above and beyond to make sure my furniture and other items were safe and remained in perfect condition. I had expressed to him that I would like to try to take it all in one trip to my storage unit because I am a young girl and didn't feel comfortable going alone, especially as it was getting dark outside. As the truck started to fill up and it seemed as if it may not all fit, he assured me that he would make it it work and would make sure I didn't have to make a trip back to the unit alone!! Just such a great guy! Would definitely recommend!

I can't say enough about the service I received. The gentlemen that came to my apartment were amazing. They were professional,efficient and extremely qualified to do the job. I had them assemble 17 pcs.of Ikea furniture. I would not hesitate to hire them again.

Andy runs a great team, the crew were extremely polite and they actually cared about all of our stuff. They took the time to wrap and carefully move all of our furniture and I never saw them tossing our boxes. They are a great team, cordial and honest.

This was my first time using movers and I will DEFINITELY use Right Choice Moving in the future. Caleb was very responsive and confirmed my appointment within 24 hours of the initial estimate. His team showed up ready to work, listened to directions well, and always made sure they were doing exactly what we needed. We moved the majority of a one bedroom apartment from a ground floor to a second floor in two hours. No pieces were damaged, they tied everything down securely, and even helped arrange furniture in the new place. I cannot say enough good things about Caleb and his team, Christian and Kyle! Rockstars! Wish I could give more than 5 stars!

They were on time and moved everything being considerate of the furniture. They even moved extra furniture to the garage that we had not told them about. I would definitely hire them again! Thank you!

Great group of guys (Brian, Nick & Robert) who took very good care of my furniture from storage to house. These guys hustle, even with the Texas heat and stairs. Brian and his team are a testament to the fact that you do not have to pay an arm and a leg for quality moving services. Will recommend Precision Movers to others moving in the future. Thanks guy!

8 days ago these guys helped me move from my parents house to my new apartment and I just wanted to say to whomever receives this message that I am sincerely grateful for their efficacy and professionalism. They were wonderful to my parents who are senior citizens and carried my big bulky furniture up you the best of luck LET'S MOVE IT- you rock!

Mark from Rags to Riches leads a very hard working family team. I hired them for a huge junk haul of job. Their quote was best for a 16 ft trailer. They did the job in a few hours and handled tricky spaces and heavy furniture well. Even though the junk ended up being 2 full trailers Mark didn't create any churn and didn't ask for extra money. They also did lawn mowing for us, that was average quality but still - I was happy to give them more business. I'd definitely hire them for junk haul off again.

Daniel did an amazing job putting together all of my furniture. He was punctual and worked quickly and carefully. I will definitely be hiring him for future projects. Thanks, Daniel!

Rodney and crew were very gracious, polite and careful with our belongings. They worked hard, fast snd followed directions to where we wanted stuff. Rodney was great about removing his shoes where I had carpet. These guys worked several hours on Labor Day holiday and all at a reasonable fee. Will recommend them to anyone I know looking for movers and will use Flamingo services for any help with old furniture out, new furniture in!

I was unable to do a lot due to me being pregnant but they made this move an amazing experience, they packed up every thing very nice and neitly as if it were their own belongings. They were very careful when carrying my belongings onto the truck, they made sure everything was to my liking and up to my standards. When I got to our new house they unloaded everything with the same energy. Not ONE mark on any of my furniture which is amazing! I would recommend to anyone who is unable to move on their own! And very affordable! I will definitely be using them again!
