Tip For Delivery

joann1218 — Wed, 06 Jul 2022 11:00:37 GMT

I am having a girl’s dresser and chest delivered today. The driver will only be delivering 2 pieces and no extras. Would you tip? If so how much? Thank you

@joann1218 Do they set the furniture up and take away the carton and wrappings?

I would think that if this is where it was purchased a tip is not necessary.

NOW: when we had 2 men and a Truck move our stuff from in the loft to our newly built addition we did tip and had snacks for them.

I always try to tip for deliveries. These guys have a long day and it's a nice thank you. Especially if there are stairs involved. I keep 2 tens ready for small jobs, 2 twenties for bigger jobs, then if there are 2 delivery persons I can tip each.

I always tip. A dresser and chest should be 2 people. I personally would give each $10.

Agree with @Frantic49 minimum $10:each delivery person. If you got food delivered I assume you tip, so why wouldn't you tip for furniture?

I wouldn't tip if you paid a delivery fee. Tipping is out of control.

If delivery is by the furniture store employees, no tip. If the delivery is by independent contractors or others, then I'd tip.

If it's a quick delivery--in and out--nothing. If they take boxes, set up the furniture, etc. $5 each.

I would not tip. It's their job and I'm sure they get paid well enough. Tipping is out of control. Everyone expects a tip. Even the people at Subway now expect a tip.

After reading all the replies,I would tip. $20.00.

It's a ball busting job. Tip the guys. It's also hot outside.

I’d tip them $20 each. That’s a really hard job to do all day.

@Meowingkitty

That's purely speculation on your part.

DD works for Door-Dash and they are paid $2.50-$2.75 depending on peak times vs. not peak, per trip + customer's tip.

I'm amazed at how many times the customer gives -0- tip, making that same assumption that you make here.

She's out running around in triple digit temps w/awful humidity, high fuel costs, while they sit in their nice A/C, waiting for their orders to come to their door.....that doesn't deserve a tip?

It does in my book!

I tip for all in home deliveries usually between

$10 - $20 per delivery person depending on what they do. If connecting and demonstrating new appliances and removing old ones I go high.

For the 2 pieces being delivered today it would most likely be 2 people and 2 trips as most furniture takes two people. I would most likely would go $15 each.

Grocery delivery usually 15%-20%, especially in Texas heat and delivering heavy cases of water or diet coke. I also tip for food delivered through Door Dash etc.

I appreciate those that make life easier for me.

Raymour and Flannigan does deliver their own furniture, it's not contracted out to another service.

I agree with what someone else said about tipping being out of control.

I feel that being kind is always in style. And so I tip. I don't get more complicated than that.

If I couldn't afford it I wouldn't.
