Tipping:
Tipping the movers is fairly customary if you are pleased with the service they are providing. A general guideline for tipping would be: $15-$20 per laborer for shipm
ents up to 10,000lbs. and $20-$30 per laborer for shipments heavier than 10,000lbs. It is likely that your loading crew will be different than the unloading crew; be prepared to tip at each location. The driver can receive his gratuities upon completion of the move. Tipping is certainly not obligatory and many people offer the crew lunch in addition to or in lieu of gratuities. We do recommend, however, that you have plenty of water on hand for the crew during the course of the move.Unpacking:
Unless more unpacking is requested, the movers will generally only include unpacking you mattresses at destination. Be advised that unpacking of boxes only entails removing items from the box and placing them on a flat surface. If you would like the movers to put away your packed belongings, this is an additional expense that should be requested of the mover at the time of your estimate.
If you find any damage during the unpacking, keep a notepad listing the damaged item and the inventory number for the particular carton. If it is a box you packed yourself, save the box. It may be helpful in settling your claim.

Making sure to tip a moving company really seems like something that is nice to do. That also is a great way to make sure that if you need their service again that they'll remember. This definitely is something that I'll have to make sure to remember when I move. Thank you for taking the time to share. http://www.midwestmoving.com/relocation/business
