Do you tip furniture delivery guys if you already.....

I'm curious as well.I'm about to order a couch and have it delivered. I was thinking maybe I should tip because my living room is on the 2nd floor of my townhouse.

In all the furniture deliveries we have gotten, I have never tipped. That's their job, and it's not like they have some low wage that makes tipping necessary like waitstaff.

If I'm getting free delivery and it requires some kind of set up or hauling to another level- I tip about $10- $20 apiece, depending on what they did.

My exception was when I paid more than $200 in regular and add on shipping charges for 2 bookcases from Ballard. That total shipping charge was hard to take- but they were exactly what I wanted. The added shipping charges went directly to the delivery service that brought the cabinets. Two guys carried the cabinets 6 feet inside my front door- nothing extreme. I figured I paid a couple of hundred dollars for that and it was enough.

I have never tipped furniture delivery people.

I've tipped if there have been several pieces of furniture or if they go above and beyond (like when the delivery person put felt feet on all of the items he delivered), but generally speaking, I hate the whole tip for everything mindset. If you ask me, $100 is a lot for the delivery of one sofa, so I would hope that they are adequately paying their delivery people.

I would offer them a cold bottle of water to go or something like that.

No ,they are paid for it.

And if I were going to tip, I want a receipt for it. We got burn on that.

No, I don't.

I always offer something to drink. If they go above and beyond (such as moving the old piece out to the curb for trash pickup) I offer a tip. Sometimes they accept it, sometimes they don't.

Nope, you are paying for the service, and the company is paying wages to the employees. You are done. You could offer a pop or a bottle of water, but you don't need to do more.

I'm a tipper, it isn't that I think it is required or the earth will explode if I don't, but I do it  because I want to. In a furniture or appliance delivery scenario, I will generally tip $10 per person.

I wouldn't.
But the last time I had large furniture delivered it was a stinking hot day, so I offered them a can of soda as they were leaving. They seemed very happy to receive ice-cold beverages after lifting and carrying on such a hot day.

I always tip, usually around $20 and sometimes more. That delivery charge is for the company, not for the guys delivering it. Yes they do get paid, but they appreciate the tip and work hard for it.
