Affordable removals are widely sought after due to an already very expensive property market. There have, however, been multiple complaints and horrendous experiences of damage and even theft as a result of using non British Association of Removers (BAR) accredited ‘man with a van’ companies. There needs to be a balance between the affordable and the reliable.
Tipping removal companies always seems to be a grey area in the moving process. The short and simple answer to the question of whether to tip movers is this: it’s up to you.
Moving house can be a costly business, but how much exactly should you pay? It can be a difficult compromise to make between the cost and quality of the removal experience. Removal companies that offer incredibly low cash-only prices could be fraudulent and the DIY approach of hiring a van could lead to damage of furniture, household items and even yourself with only yourself responsible.
