Tip the piano movers?

[southpaw]

How much should I tip the piano movers who are - weather permitting - coming tomorrow?  They are delivering a grand piano and moving my old spinet up a flight of steps.

Is it normal in America to tip people who already get paid? I have not tipped the movers who moved my piano, instead I paid them what they asked for.

Not in the USA anyway.  At least I've always figured that if I hire someone to do something, and they quote me a price, that that is what they expect to get paid.

They chipped one of the ivorys!!! Good thing it was a replaced one, because the original ivory tops have a very perfect seam on them. And then the ivory I got was yellow and shorter than the rest of my keys it was so upsetting!

If they're really *piano* movers (not just movers of pianos), and they do a great, job, tip away. $10 a person, or more depending.

My movers (Duffy of Philadelphia) did an unbelievable great job, even moving other furniture to the basement for me, adjusting the area rug so the entire piano fit correctly, etc. If they had just "dropped it off", I wouldn't have tipped them.
