Should I Tip the Delivery Driver for My Home Depot Order?
Asked by CraftyNinja82
I'm expecting a delivery from Home Depot this week for siding and other materials for my remodeling project. The driver will be offloading everything from a flatbed using a forklift. Should I tip the delivery driver? Is it a common practice? Thanks in advance for the help!

Most delivery drivers actually can’t accept tips, especially if they’re working directly for a company like Home Depot. But you can help them out by sending a positive note to their boss—those compliments can really help with their job reviews.

You really don't need to tip. Delivery drivers are usually just responsible for dropping your stuff off curbside. However, if you're directing them to a specific spot for unpacking and they go above and beyond, a tip or a small gesture like a drink is a great way to show appreciation!

Technically, you don't have to tip anyone for deliveries like this. But if you want to do something nice, a cold drink like water or Gatorade is always appreciated! It can go a long way, especially on a hot day.
