Minor accidents can happen during any move, especially with large furniture. However, if the crew was careless or acted unprofessionally, you may choose to reduce or decline a tip and instead discuss the issue with the moving company.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Is tipping included in the moving bill?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In most cases, no.
