Tipping Question.

not sure as tho you HAVE to, but i'd probably give him $5-10 as long as the next doesn't show up damaged.
If it's a different driver...that's a tough call. Others...chime in.

I tip if they deserve it. If they are ***holes and such they dont get anything.
I worked in Furniture retail for 14 years and would have to do re-schedule delivery's just like you mentioned, I guess I would question if the furniture was in boxes and there was hidden damage, then not so much the drivers fault, if it was inspected and loaded that way then different story. Did you see the drivers unwrap/unbox in front of you. The first time tip is ok if you get good service, the second time is more of a hassle and time out of your schedule,yeah things happen but I didn't expect a tip when I was driver and just wanted to keep the customer happy. And we the Company would usally give the customer a gift certificate for the mistake.
I had no idea you're supposed to tip furniture guys. :shrug:
I thought tipping was only for food and alcohol. :??: Maybe I should get tipped for being an engineer. I go through an awful lot of trouble to design and build parts to the customers specs.

I guess it just comes down to good service, I mean how many tip there Barbers, taxi drivers, etc, It's funny but I tip when I go up and order a beer at a bar and all the guy/girl did was take the bottle out of the ice and pop the top, does that deserve a tip.:shrug:
I never tip Furniture drivers/delivery guys! If they wouldn't drive like idiots everywhere then I might. But once a week I see one of them practically driving right down the yellow line! Yeah I got a tip for them and it's learn how to drive with some common sense!
No sir. I'd be broke with all the car parts I buy. Besides, its a well known fact they make a good deal of money on salary.
I will when they deliver my whipple.:-D
As a delivery driver I never expected it, although it was nice if you got one after you just spent hours setting up a whole house full of furniture,no different than when I worked for a moving Co.Jmo.
I tipped my old UPS guy at my parents house. Over a month he delivered over a ton (literally) of car parts for my old fox body.
But he would call my cell and let me know he had something expensive or big to deliver so I could arrange for somebody to be home. He would even back his truck up my driveway and unload them into my garage.
He was cool as hell. Havent' gotten a good once since.
Any time you have someone enter your house to deliver, tip them. Consider it a "don't rob me" insurance policy.:thumbsup:
lol. Anytime anybody "services" me I usually tip.
Or, consider it a sucker's fee - which is what it really is. If a guy really wants to rob you, tipping him a 20 spot isn't gonna change his mind.
Besides, who the hell tips furniture delivery people? :??:
wow does everyone deserve a tip for doing there job, maybe I should tip the grocery clerk who rings me up, and the guy at mcdonalds who takes my order, honestly if aperson is on salary or hourly there is no need to tip except for valet, doormen, and waiter, there pay is based on tips
As a former furniture delivery person, I will tell you we didnt make shit. started and finished at 9 bucks an hour. Tips were nice, if not all that often. probably made between 20-40 a week in tips. Considering the amount of work you do 10 bucks an hour just isnt much. My partner expected and got upset when someone didnt tip us. I dont know if he maybe knew something I didnt, but I looked at it as a bonus
I would never tip a furniture delivery driver. I tip for food service and at bars thats it (we don't have taxis where I live so I don't tip them). Heres a tip, don't eat yellow snow, hahaha!
I tip people who give me good service, not just those that work at food/bar type places. If someone gives me good service or goes out of their way (or if you want them to)...tip them. Whenever ive had work done to my car @ ford i tip my same mechanic. No offense but some of you guys sound cheap as f***...thats all im going to say
