S/O - If you have Amazon Prime are you tipping the UPS man?

I don't normally tip the delivery guys.  For years, I had a grudge against the FedEx ground guys for bad service. 

Since signing up for Amazon Mom though, I get packages pretty much every day.  He's at my house more than my cleaning lady.  LOL.

Is anyone else tipping the UPS guy/gal?  If so, how much or what?

  • I hadn't even thought about this but I totally should. 

    I should also note I know they have a serious gift policy- the only specific guidance I found said to refer to an internal guide, but it probably means the amount of a cash tip has to be v small if they can accept it at all.

  • I don't tip, but I am specifically ordering something to be delivered soon so I can give our delivery man a christmas gift. He is the best! He knows our name, and asks how we are doing, and is just so friendly :)
  • DH and I were just talking about this at dinner! He thinks I owe him a holiday tip. I'm not sure how that would work though. I guess I'd have to know something was being delivered that day and leave the tip in an envelope, and hope no one else took it?

  • Mine totally deserves a tip since we also get stuff at least once a week. The only issue is that I have no idea who he or she is. Even if DH happened to be home when we got a delivery, then I wouldn't know if it was the regular delivery person that day or someone else. Hmmm, maybe I can call the company or something.

  • No.

    For whatever reason our UPS and mail person is never the same. But then again, even if it was I doubt i'd tip them. 

    It seems like everyone expects a tip these days and it's annoying.

    Ours is also always different.  I work from  home, and the dogs go nuts when a truck pulls up, so I always get to see the person delivering.  None of ours wear uniforms either, which I find weird - UPS or USPS. 

    ETA:  I do not tip.  Assuming their salaries are similar to FedEx drivers...those guys make more than I do.  (daughter of a FedEx employee)  I give xmas tips/gift to dog walker, in home daycare, and cleaning people, thats it.

    ITA.  I'm never even home when these people come, and if I were, I wouldn't tip them.

  • Most of the time I never even see them, even if I'm home, they'll just leave it in front of our door.

    I'm sure they would appreciate a tip, but we never have the same one so I'm not very inclined.
