I recently hired a professional moving company for my relocation, and everything went smoothly. The movers were efficient and careful with my stuff. But I got a bit confused about tipping — is it expected to give them a tip even though the company charges a decent fee? I’ve never tipped movers before, so I’m not sure what the norm is or what’s considered polite. Anyone experienced with this and can share how it usually works?
