This is a small local company, only been in business for two years, and they've already won a "best of" local award for customer satisfaction. The owner of the company is one of the two guys who do the moving, and he is a long-time family friend of my girlfriend's family.
Considering all that, and assuming they do a good job for my parents, how much do we tip them? I'm thinking $ 30 each + a supersized chilled bottle of water for each of them, but I'm not sure.
I'll be transporting the guns and liquor.

Whenever I use movers I make sure to provide coffee for the morning, bottled water and if it spans over lunch I'll get a big bucket of KFC or a couple of Pizzas to make sure they are fed.
Amount of tip is kind of dependent on how long the move takes and difficulty involved, things like stairs etc...
Figure $20-30 per guy.
