First, this is not a question of whether you should tip a driver to help you with extra services.
I am wondering how many of you have had the need to do it --- and the success rate.
I am getting a 65" display delivered to my home tomorrow. I will be by myself.
Driver's responsibility is to only unload display and leave at driveway.
Plan to persuade the driver to do the following with my assistance...
* Bring display into house and up one flight of stairs to second floor.
* Lift old display from stand and place in corner of room
* Allow me to unbox and put pedestal on display
* Lift new display onto stand
The display weighs 125 lbs.
I would estimate that is 15-20 minutes worth of help at most.
Plan to tip driver $60 for the job.
Just hoping driver will be enticed by the proposal.
Have any of you done anything similar?
