When you order furniture from a store, chances are you’re getting it delivered to your home.
At some point, you’ll need to tip the person who brings your new couch, bed, desk, etc. inside for you.
It’s a good idea to know how much you should tip before they arrive.
Please keep in mind that these are suggested tips only.
You should tip more if the delivery person did an exceptional job beyond what was expected, and you should tip less or not at all if the service was not up to par.

This is how much you should tip your furniture delivery people.
$10 – 20 per delivery person
$20 – 30 for 2-3 people
$25 – 35 for 4 or more people.
Although this gesture is not always expected, you should offer it if the person who brings your furniture to your home demonstrates exceptional service.
Some extra things to consider are:
- Did the delivery person stay in communication with you about their arrival time?
- How many pieces of furniture did they deliver
- Was it heavy or large
- Did they bring the furniture inside and place it where requested?
- Were they friendly and approachable, or did they seem rushed and uninterested?
If so, a tip is recommended.
If the service was not up to par, you should not tip.

Final Thoughts
When it comes to furniture delivery, the amount you tip depends on the service that was provided.
If you paid for standard delivery, then a tip is not necessary.
However, if you received white-glove service or they went above and beyond in their work, then a tip is recommended.
The general rule of thumb is to give $5-$10 to every person who helped deliver your furniture.
So, if there were two people who delivered your couch, then you would give $10-$20 as a tip.
Keep in mind that this is just a suggestion and you are not obligated to do so if you don’t feel like it.
