tipping the grocery delivery person?

is it appropriate to tip them and how much? I did a search and found contradictory advice from 15-20% (I hope not; sorry but that's a lot to afford) to smaller amounts to not at all.

If you have groceries delivered, what do you do?

I'm in the UK, where supermarkets charge a delivery fee for online shopping. So of course there's no need to tip the driver, the payment is already built in. What's the setup where you are, is it formal online shopping?

I did wonder about this when i started doing on line grocery shopping last year, but figured that as i already pay Tesco between £4 and £6 for the delivery then i shouldnt need to.
It may be different in other countries. If i had the same delivery person every week then i might give them a tip at christmas or something - like we used to with the milkman way back when.
Justy.

I've used several and they all prohibit tipping so I didn't have to worry 'bout it.

Like justy comes with a delivery charge fom the supermarket (in the UK). You may find tipping is not allowed as I tried once and it was turned down by the lady who runs the whole operation.(and goes for all - not even gifts allowed).

That was my first thought, but I realized (and the pages I looked at said this also) that the delivery fee may not necessarily go to the driver (they have to pay for the truck, gas, and the shopper to pick out your food--which I assume is someone different).

That's reassuring.

I settled on an amount to offer (based partly on what small bills I actually have atm, lol) and I'll see whether they accept or not.

Thanks, everyone.

So are you assuming that the driver isn't being paid enough? If that's true, and I see no reason to assume it as default, then all the other people employed at that supermarket won't be getting paid enough either - do you tip your checkout assistant as well?
