cesar11 Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 I just ran into my mail person and she kept a package that I got from a friend and she kept it dry and in good condition for me. Then I realized that she always does this for me. Thinking of getting her a gift card of some sort. How about you folks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhulud Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 We usually do. A Visa gift card for like $25 or so. I've heard some people give a bottle of liquor and stuff like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dethrock Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 When I lived with my parents, we had like a "community" mailbox with a key, so I rarely ever saw the mail guy. But the kid that delivered the paper always had it there super early, even in the shittiest weather. They always got him something because he was so good.

shanehennessey Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 I think my mail carrier stole my amazon package 2 days ago as a gift for herself. Tracking said it was delivered and we also have locked mailboxes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattyIceyo Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 I gave mine a 100 bucks, as he always put any record i had right in my office, on my chair so no one else would grab it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottheisel Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 I don't think postal carriers are legally allowed to accept cash, nor gifts worth more than $20. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onlettingjoe Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 i've never met my mail carrier but he/she deserves a gift of some sort. brings all my packages inside my complex and leaves them on my doorstep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deafmx Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 I have a card on the table right now with $20 as this has been a hefty year of delivering packages, well, the last 8 years. I figure it's time to tip him so he doesn't leave anymore ON the mailbox. but now I'm hoping he is the mailman actually working this week as it's Christmas, I should have set this up last week but I've been working so much I can't even catch him during the week the last few weeks.

bathroommonkey Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 my guy is great and i want to tip him. i use to buy lots of posters and have switched to records and he always treats my stuff with the utmost care. i stopped him one day and told him how much i appricate him and told him i would like to tip him and he said it wasn't necessary. i still want to do something for him but I can't decided if I should go cash or gift card? cash seems so dare I say dirty yet why should I presume that he shops at Target. 100 is too hefty for me too, i'm guessing between 25 and 50.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 thanks for doing your job, heres a $25 gift card to old navy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 and its not illegal, its just not allowed by the regulations of the postal service, no one goes to jail or gets fined, your postman could just lose their job. so I mean, whats more important, them getting a gift card for keeping your limited pressing dry, or them keeping their job? just get them a card saying thank you, thats all you need to do.

drabley Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 No. I hate mail and think it should go away. USPS should just drop the extra "S" and move on. Parcels and packages only. No envelopes. No catalogs. No fliers. No waste. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kyleevanswastaken Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 A week ago my mailman left a package of mine in the snow, I wish I had aids so I could give him that for christmas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goraiders Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 I never have, I figure when my postman goes above and beyond to deliver my packages I will. Now they just leave messages saying to sign so they can leave it, I sign, they don't leave it. they leave another, i sign, they don't leave it. etc etc i cancel my order.

lonesomexloveus Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 i don't get tipped for doing my job like i'm supposed to, and postal service employees make more than i do to start with. the only time i can justify or understand tipping someone is when tips are a significant source of their income, i.e. servers in restaurants, tattoo artists, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
