Hello :) I am moving locally within the Bay Area in couple of weeks and all the movers & packers I am getting quotes from, prefer to be paid in cash (there is a convenience fee with credit card payment). What are the advantages/disadvantages of either method of payment? Thanks :)

You should opt for credit card. If they do a terrible job or steal from you, you at least have some recourse through your card issuer. It's worth the convenience fee.

I think paying in cash has some tax implications for the service provider?

FWIW I paid in cash when I moved and it worked out fine. My wife and I were present during packing / loading / unloading and didn’t experience any breakage or theft.

Thanks I will use credit card, don’t want to take any risk :) !!

Consider paying the bill on credit card and the tip on cash.

Thanks, so I am thinking if I would pay the bill on credit card, I might as well pay the tip on credit card as well.. how will splitting this on credit and cash help me..? I am missing something…
