How much to tip the delivery guy?

[whitelime]

So I am getting a mattress, boxspring, and a dresser delivered to my apt. They are delivering directly to my room. Total cost is probably around $500-600. How much should I tip the delivery guy if anything at all? What if there are 2 or 3?

$20

If there are 3, I assume you would just give them $20 to split amongst themselves? Also, would the tip change depending on whether they just leave it outside my room, or put it exactly where I want inside my room?

We're supposed to tip these people???? I thought this was a "so you want a Coke?" situation. GOD DAMN IT!!! Would someone PLEASE come up with a list of all the tips I'm supposed to be leaving...

I think it depends. If I have to pay for the delivery (as I usually do with furniture), I generally don't tip, since the charge is something like $50 already. However, if you need something else moved in your house, a $20 bill can work wonders. (We had a bookshelf delivered the other day, and the guys jumped at the chance to move a very heavy cabinet upstairs for $20.)

There was some ridiculous delivery charge like $175. This includes delivery to my room. So do I tip, no, what if there are 3?

$175 delivery charge? For a mattress, box spring and dresser? Dear God.

I wouldn't tip when I'm paying that much. Maybe that makes me a cheapskate, I don't know. But that seems pretty damn steep to me.
