I bought two mattresses that are being delivered tomorrow. I did pay for delivery. Should I tip the guys?

It's up to you.  I mentioned a while back how I had a new mattress delivered and was prepared with cash for each of the delivery men.  They were so slow, incompetent and rude that they infuriated me.  Had they been swift, efficient and polite, I would have given each of them a $20 bill, but they got nothing.

I probably wouldn't but it also depends on the circumstances.

No, they get paid a wage.

I did not tip for paid mattress delivery. Considering the cost of the mattress in addition to paying delivery, I paid enough already for their product and service. I have read there is a high markup on mattresses.

No....but if they have stairs to climb in 90 degree heat,

offering a bottled water is appreciated.

It's really up to you.  It's not required.

I always tip something.  It depends on how complicated it will be to get the new mattress in and the old mattress out.

[Krimpette]

I would tip.  

[SahmIam]

I don't.

If they are efficient, professional and friendly I would give each $5.  Otherwise, no.  I also think a $20 tip each is too much for delivering a mattress.
