    Default Tipping delivery men

    Any advice about how much to tip the delivery men who will deliver one recliner to main floor condo?

    I think it all depends on the service level.

    * Did they arrive close to the promise time?
    * Were the polite and respectful?
    * Did they handle your recliner properly?
    * Did they place it where you want it in the room and invite you to inspect it?

    My local guys appreciate tips, but don't expect them. The funny part is, the customers that have the easy deliveries usually tip - the ones that have the really difficult ones (sofas going upstairs, or in the basement, doors have to come off the hinges, etc.) almost never do! Go figure.

    I'd also suggest considering the weather. Even with shoveled walkways, delivering furniture in Minnesota in February is no picnic.

    It will be summer in Illinois so weather won't be a problem. How about $25 to each delivery person? Sound reasonable?
