OMG, trans global is still in business ? I was deleting old emails I had kept and came across my ’03 horrible experience with them. I am shocked to see that they have been allowed to continue. My move was to Greece and was performed by Classic International, Trans Global and Maslias worldwide moving. what a trio!

Unlike the hospitality industry where it seems everyone has their hand out and expects to have it greased, moving is a service where many customers don’t participate in the normal type of gratuity.

If you choose to tip the participating crew members, it should reflect your level of appreciation and your ability to reward them – especially in this economy.

Some people offer each laborer $10-20. The driver gets a bit more. Others make breakfast and lunch for the crew and provide an ample selection of beverages throughout the day.

Those who don’t have much sometimes donate personal items from their home that may have been admired. One lady gave everybody little loaves of banana-nut bread she baked while they worked. Each was wrapped in the family recipe that included a personal note. An Arabian sheik had his secretary pass out $1000 bills.

Some people show their sincere appreciation by simply saying ‘thank you’ with a hug!
