Do you have to tip your Postmates delivery person?
As with most things, tipping etiquette is a matter of personal choice, although it’s a nice thing to do.
For what’s appropriate for a tip amount, most people go with a few dollars at 20 percent of the order, depending on what takes your fancy.
Most of these couriers rely on tips, and especially for difficult pickups or when they have to go to a store and buy a special item, it’s a good way to tip your courier.
With the new flat rates for deliveries, you won’t be hit with a huge service fee for special items.
That’s great, but it also means that you should make sure to tip someone well if they go above and beyond, as doing so could make the difference between that courier earning minimum wage or not.
There is a tipping option in the app, which makes it easy.
You also have the option to tip in cash. Whichever is easier for you.
