Should you tip professional movers?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-tip-movers.htm">Tipping movers</a> isn’t mandatory, and most professional companies won’t expect it, but it is a nice way to say “thank you” and to show your appreciation for the care they took while handling your belongings. Tipping somewhere between <b>10% and 20%</b> of your total bill to split among the movers is a good amount. Tipping is an especially good idea if your movers are working in the rain, snow, or excessive temperatures, if they relocate specialty items, like pianos, or simply if they go above and beyond during the process of moving.</p></div>

Q: Should you tip professional movers?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-tip-movers.htm">Tipping movers</a> isn&rsquo;t mandatory, and most professional companies won&rsquo;t expect it, but it is a nice way to say &ldquo;thank you&rdquo; and to show your appreciation for the care they took while handling your belongings.

Q: How do I choose a relocation company?

• <div><p>The first step to choosing a relocation company is determining the distance of your move, types of services needed, and how many professional movers you need to hire. Once you set the parameter of your move, get price quotes from at least three local moving companies to compare pricing. Then, choose a relocation company that fits within your budget, supplies the necessary services, and has positive reviews from previous moving customers. </p></div>

Q: Does moving a piano get it out of tune?

• <div><p>Yes, moving a piano often causes it to become out of tune, even if you're not moving the piano very far. One reason is that any temperature and humidity changes can affect a piano's tuning. Additionally, the bumps and jolts from a moving truck usually push a piano out of tune. </p><p>However, don't jump right to tuning it once the piano gets to your new home. Instead, it's best to wait at least two weeks for the instrument to acclimate to its new environment. After a couple weeks, you'll get an idea of what the piano will really sound like in its new home, at which point you can call a piano technician to get it properly tuned. </p></div>

Q: How much does it cost to hire a professional mover?

• <div><p>The average <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-it-cost-hire-movers.htm">cost of hiring a professional mover</a> is around <b>$1,700</b>, but you might pay as low as <b>$200</b> or up to <b>$12,000</b> or more, depending on many different factors.

I cancelled the service because I had donated 25% of my house to charity and there were less items to move. However, they did not return my deposit of $2429.90 because they said that I did not cancel in time. They have pulled the bait and switch routine on others (B&B complaints).
