What NOT to Pack When Hiring Movers

Hiring movers? Great. But here’s what you should never, ever hand over to them.

  • Valuables: Keep your jewelry, cash, and expensive electronics with you. If it’s worth locking up, it’s worth carrying yourself.
  • Personal documents: Passports, IDs, birth certificates. These don’t belong in the truck.
  • Medication: You never know when you’ll need it, and delays happen.
  • Important keys: Like your new home, your storage unit, or your car. Don’t let them disappear in a box.
  • Anything fragile: If you don’t trust anyone else with it, don’t risk it. Carry it like it’s a baby.

Bottom line: If you’d panic losing it, don’t pack it with everything else.

FAQ

How To Tip Movers answered by iBox Moving experts

How to Tip Movers – Etiquette & Guidelines from iBox Moving

How Should I Tip the Movers?

Tipping is never required — but always appreciated. If your moving crew did a great job, a tip is a meaningful way to say thank you. At iBox Moving, our teams work hard to deliver excellent service, and many clients choose to reward them for it.

How Much Should I Tip?

There’s no fixed rule, but here are some common tipping guidelines:

  • $20–$40 per mover for small half-day jobs
  • $50–$100 per mover for full-day moves
  • Or tip 10–20% of the total cost, divided between the team

Do I Tip Each Mover Separately?

You can — or give the full amount to the team lead (foreman) to divide evenly. Either way works fine.

Should I Tip in Cash or Digitally?

Cash is the most common, but you can also use Venmo, Zelle, or another app if the crew agrees. Just ask them what works best.

Is It Okay Not to Tip?

Absolutely. Tipping is optional. We never pressure clients to tip — we just aim to earn it through hard work, care, and great attitude.

Other Ways to Show Appreciation

  • Leave a positive review mentioning your movers by name
  • Offer water, snacks, or coffee during the job
  • Refer us to friends or neighbors

Have Questions?

If you're not sure what’s appropriate, just ask our team — we’ll guide you honestly with no pressure. We’re here to make your move stress-free and respectful for everyone involved.

Moving In Los Angeles explained in our moving guide

Moving in Los Angeles – What You Need to Know

Relocating in LA? You’re Not Alone

With millions of residents, diverse neighborhoods, and year-round sunshine, moving in Los Angeles is a unique experience. Whether you're moving across town or just a few blocks away, here's what you should know to make it easier.

1. Plan Around LA Traffic

Traffic is one of LA’s biggest challenges. Schedule your move outside of peak hours — mornings before 7:30 AM or afternoons after 7 PM. Weekdays typically have less congestion than weekends.

2. Know Your Neighborhood

Every part of LA is different. Moving to Silver Lake? Expect narrow streets. Relocating to Westwood? Watch out for student traffic. Downtown? You might need special parking permits. Research ahead to avoid surprises.

3. Time Your Move Right

Spring and early fall offer the best weather. Avoid holidays, summer heat, and the end-of-month rush. Booking early ensures better availability and pricing.

4. Check for Parking Restrictions

Some areas require moving permits or have street cleaning rules. Check your local city website or ask your building management for guidelines.

5. Hire Local Experts

Working with movers who know LA can save you time and frustration. At iBox Moving, we navigate tight streets, parking rules, and LA logistics every day.
