Oh jeez - never even thought about this.

I'm already paying a hefty delivery fee, so I'm not going to tip.

But then, I'm not a big believer in tipping outside of restaurants anyway.

Re: Question about furniture delivery - TIPS?

I was curious about this too so I just whipped out my Emily Post's Etiquette book. She says that "when deliverers uncrate, assemble, or install an item, each received btwn $5 and $20, depending on the amount of work performed."

Thanks, girls. Since it's only 2 pieces of furniture, I think I'll see how they are and if it all goes smoothly, I'll probably do $10 each.
