Tip on IKEA delivery

Ask Vancouver

I have a delivery coming today, not significantly large but one "heavy" piece.

What is customary tip on something like this? Is it a percentage? Flat dollar?

Used to work for IKEA and I’d go with zero, their delivery service leaves something to be desired.

To each their own. The $50 expense for this is worth it in our case. Just looking for what the norm is. Dont want to be the one person who doesnt tip and have my place egged!

I had a mattress and bedframe delivered today and I did not get the impression they were looking to be tipped. They set the items down in the foyer and even before I turned around to offer them a bottle of cold water, they were halfway down my sidewalk headed towards their truck.

If they go the extra mile and lift several items up a few flights of stairs inside your home, I would tip. Otherwise no tip necessary.

Heavy furniture? About 10-20 per person who does the lifting.

Maybe if it was more than one piece of furniture and it was being brought into the house and placed. They just drop outside now so was thinking much less.
