This is for New York and NY’ers are generally pretty decent tippers.

Furniture Delivery Men

You made the trek to Ikea in the water taxi, but you’re sure as hell not dragging your Kivik couch all the way back to your apartment. So you get it delivered.

If you’re getting one piece of furniture delivered, it comes in a box, and is relatively easy to get into your apartment, $5 tip is fine.

If you’re getting one piece of furniture delivered, but it’s an extremely heavy and big item, which they have to somehow hoist up a tiny and narrow staircase, then you should tip $10-15 (depending on how hard they’re sweating?)

If you’re getting an entire living room set delivered, and you feel they’re burning thousands of calories to help you out, tip a generous, but no doubt appreciated $20.
