As the title says, bought some nicer furniture which is being delivered and curious if I should tip the delivery driver.
Edit: I’m in the USA.
If you’re in the US it’s expected to tip everyone.
Please don’t forget to tip your landlord - inflation is hitting them hard right now.
My landlord is really awesome, I didn’t realize tipping them was a thing we should do. What’s the etiquette for this? Monthly? Only when a service is needed? Etc
Hourly, set it up on auto-pay.
Why tip someone for doing the their job?
Because America is fundamentally broken and making life harder for a laborer isn’t going to change shit except their ability to feed themselves.
Depends on how difficult it was. If they hauled the furniture up a flight of stairs, toss them a few bucks. If they drop it at the curb or just inside the door, no. I just had a fridge delivered and carried up four flights of stairs and tipped $50 because it was a huge pain in the ass for them.
As someone who said “hell no” earlier in the thread, asking for four stories with a fridge is an entirely appropriate situation to tip.
Check your delivery contracts, they’ll usually specify ground delivery or one floor only. Four is very much above and beyond, and worth the bribe if they’ll agree to it.
They can charge more for it if it’s “above and beyond”.
If they come inside your house throw em some cash. I’d say $5 for bringing it in the door, $10 for putting it near where it’s gonna be and $20 for placing it where it’ll go and unwrapping/assembling it.
That’s what I do, at least, no clue if these values are appropriate.
Excellent that’s exactly what I did. Thank you!
In US and Hell no. I paid for the furniture, I paid for the delivery. My side is done.
Yes.
Yes. Absolutely. There’s a fuck ton of things you shouldn’t tip for. This is not one of them.
