Tip your Mail Carrier?

[RAZOR-Z]

Do you guys go out of your way to let them know we appreciate our packages getting to us safely? *touches wood*

FYI dont give them money. They cant accept any cash gifts. They also cant accept anything more than $20 in value.

With 5 bubble mailers mailed to my neighbors house a street behind mine in the last year? OH HELL NO!

Give my carrier 30 clams cash every year

My carrier gets 20 every year - goes out of her way to make sure packages are delivered safely

I give him a gift card every year.

Before she retired mom would get girtcards to just about anywhere. Ranging from $5 to $50. Subway, Olive Garden, Mcadonalds, cash, candy, knitted afghans. She got more when she retired, and this was from a small town. I think some journalist did an article saying $20 was the correct amount.

Sent from my SCH-I535 using Freedom Card Board mobile app

I don't have the same carrier every week. They also take the time to walk through by landscaping and across my lawn, deliver my mail a block away and leave packages in the pouring rain.

Which one of these should I tip for?

I'm sure most dont follow the rules. Lol

My mail lady filled me in on the rules a few years ago after I tried giving her cash.

Or you could give them Christmas cookies.

Tape a card w/ a $25 gift card inside to my mailbox every year.

Lets see....my mail doesn't arrive until 7PM on weeknights...6PM on the weekends.

On the weekends, no actual mail (like bills, insurance info, coupons, ads) gets delivered, the woman sits in the truck, rifles through all of it and finds the stuff with DC/SC labels that HAS to be delivered and only delivers that stuff. Saves her only an hour each time it seems....so why doesn't she just deliver ALL of the mail?

I've complained time after time with no resolution. This is the same post office that hasn't scanned in a single delivery confirmation label for me in the past 2 months.

Why do they deserve a tip?

Always tip him. He's a good dude!

My guy is the shizzz
50 bones from this guy
he earned it

No way. His job is to deliver me packages on time and efficiently. I'm not going to tip someone for doing their job correctly.

He has delivered stuff to the wrong address and never is an enjoyable person to see. I've complained many times about him.

Just waiting to see when he's replaced.

Big time! And it comes back in spades!

When I bought my house back in 97, I had a great mailman named Jim. He always took care of my packages and was a great guy. He always got a tip from me. After he was sent to a different route, I had a woman, who was pretty nice and she got a tip. The ****** I have now is a total pos and I wouldn't give him a f'ing penny. I hope his Christmas sucks. Sorry, I really dislike the guy.
