Tipping for delivery

[calieber]

Those of you who use FreshDirect, how much if anything do you tip the delivery person(s)? I usually get about three not-very-full boxes and I live in a second-floor walk-up.

I tip $10 and live on the 2nd floor- but I carry everything up-

I usually $4 or $5 (depending on what bills I have). Elevator building.

I used to tip $20, and boy were they accomodating. Then I realized my income really couldn't sustain that indefinitely, especially when I had more energy to cook and was getting a delivery every 3 weeks or so.

From the reactions I got I eventually determined that's a bit more than typical anyway.
