Delivery Driver Tip

[kdstill938]

Hey everyone!

My wife and I ordered a Telluride from Peak Kia North back in November. It is supposed to be in late March. Being the banker I am, I ran the numbers to see if it would be less expensive for us to drive, fly, or to have the Telluride delivered. It would be roughly $95 more to have it delivered to my driveway. In my mind, it is well worth it to save the time and not have to waste time traveling. My wife agrees. One thing that I am not sure on is the etiquette of is tipping the driver once the car is dropped off. Should I give him a tip? How much? Would a percentage of the fee be appropriate or is it considered his job to deliver vehicles? I don't want to offend anyone, but the fee should seem to cover them delivering it.

Depends on how expensive the cargo is IMO. If there is any damage during delivery, you can cut down the tip accordingly.

Pizza - $2-$5
Washer/Dryer - $20
Car - $40-$100
