Does one tip furniture delivery men?

[spinbaby]

For the first time ever in our 34-year marriage, we're having furniture delivered instead of dragging it home in someone's pickup truck. Does one tip the delivery men? How much?

1. Yes, I'd say so. If it's something delivered from a store maybe $5 each?

Probably more if they moved your household...

2. It's tricky: they don't sleep standing up like cows

3. Flipping them a fiver is good form.

If it's a complicated delivery, like up a lot of stairs or through narrow corridors and stairwells or extensive assembly tip them a bit more.

Many people don't tip them at all.

We're having heavy couch delivered and there are entry stairs involved. Maybe $20 for two delivery men?

11. That would make them feel appreciated. n/t

10. A man and a woman delivered my new refrigerator.

I handed them each $10 and they both said they couldn't take tips. So I put the $$$ in each of their pockets and told them I was buying them lunch!
