If you tip for pizza delivery, then you should definitely tip for furniture delivery, right? Actually, a lot of people aren’t sure what the etiquette is, and only about half of Americans regularly tip furniture delivery workers.[1] To help you navigate this gray area, we’ll walk you through what factors influence whether you tip or not, plus how much you should offer based on the nature of your delivery. Even if it isn’t always expected, tipping is a great way to show your appreciation for delivering that comfy new bed you ordered!
Things You Should Know
- Furniture delivery tips aren’t expected, but are highly appreciated by delivery workers since it's a physically demanding job.
- Tip $5 to $20 per worker depending on the difficulty of the delivery and the quality of service. Give at least $10 for hard deliveries or outstanding work.
- Consider tipping extra (or at all) if the workers were punctual, assembled your furniture, provided amazing service, or you just want to express your thanks.
