Reasonable Tip to Give For A Flower Delivery

The world of services these days is very developed and big. It covers almost all aspect of human life. Everyone knows that a person can order anything on the phone and on internet, even the strangest things.

Nothing can compare with the comfort of sitting at home in front of your computer and buying nice stuff on reasonable prices. What is even better is that if you wish it will be all delivered right to your door. You only need a credit card with enough credit.

Since everything is changed and the purchase is not like it was in the past, there is though one thing that still remains the old way. This is the tip giving. No matter how much you have already paid for an item, you should give some money to the guy that will bring it to your house.

Though tipping has been done for decades, no reputable flower delivery or gardening company publishes special rules or rates for the tips. This excludes the restaurants, which are often writing information about the tip that is expected for the waiters and the other staff on their menus. It is usually some percent of the bill, at least five.

However this can not be borrowed as a rule in the delivery business, because people are sometimes ordering very expensive things and they can not be expected to leave so much money as a tip.

To make good impression and to be polite to the guy from the delivering company, you can follow some general steps, which will leave you with the feeling that you have done the right thing.

This article will give useful advices how to manage the situation with the flower delivery tips in particular.

First thing that will make you wonder what to do is the fact that you will happen to have no small bills. This will make the situation very awkward, because what is certainly not accepted is to wait for a change for the tip you have given. When it comes to tipping you just give the bill and say good buy. You will not be able to leave the guy waiting and run to the store and break big bills. So what is good to do to be prepared is to regularly put small bills like one, two, five or ten dollars from your wallet when you have some and put them on one place, shelf or inside an envelope and thus you will not fall into difficult situations with the change.

The tip is very much depending on the size of the bouquet or the basket. It will be between two and five dollars for small to normal orders and up to ten dollars if the arrangement is big and heavy.

The moment of the delivery is very important. The tips should be bigger in hours, which are outside the common working time, like too early, too late or during the weekends and official holydays. It is also depending on the weather. You will be of course more grateful if the delivery is received in cold or rainy day, than if it is sunny and nice outside.

Whatever you do evaluate the situation first, because often some delivery guys think people are obligated to tip them and make no efforts to be polite and precise. This is wrong and should not be rewarded.

If the service is really great and you are fully satisfied, leave some time to call at the company and say few good words about the delivery. It will not take much time for you but will be highly appreciated and make big difference for the delivery guy.
