Need advice quick (tipping)

[Getpaddled]

Just moved into a new house in marshfield. We bought a couch, love seat and bed set. They are delivering it to us today between 11:30 and 12:30. It cost us 50$ for them to bring the stuff over to are house and bring in. Do we tip these guys? Or is that included in the 50$ that we paid for them to come over?

Offer them a beer. I have never tipped those guys but they do usually take a beer.

Beer or Soda is fine....I don't see any need to tip those guys. That is what you are paying for.

I tip to those guys only because I used to work furniture delivery.

[Getpaddled]

how much?

I'm a pretty liberal tipper, and I've never even considered tipping in a circumstance where I'm already paying a huge fee to get something delivered. I know the delivery people aren't really getting that fee, but anything beyond a soda or two and you'd be better off just renting a U-haul and delivering it to you yourself.

how much?

are they setting up the bed? or just bringing it in? Id say nothing more than $5 each. If I remember correctly, the company I worked for charged more for delivery than $50, but that was like 7 years ago.

they brought the drill in... there setting up the bed frame as i type this

I know they choose to work there, but being a furniture delivery guy sucks...I tip, but then again, my gf yells at me because I always tip well. I even tip at Chinese buffets.

If they are setting the whole thing up for you I think it would be nice if you just slipped them a $20.

[jlau20]

You could offer them the first nap in it?

 

I'd say offering them a beer or soda is enough, maybe $5 a piece.

[saget]

Ditto to the beer or $5ish suggestions.

 

There's something great about having a nice cold beer after moving a bunch of furniture. It just tastes better

What do you tip a wood guy?

If these guys are on the clock, I think I'd think twice about offering them a beer.

Nothing wrong with offering them a small gratuity, but if you are paying $50, most would agree that's plenty.

 

$5-7 a piece would be considered fine. $20 each would probably put you on a godlike level.http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

Marshfield, eh? Now you're in my country. Where you moving from? Good luck with the move.
